Now is the time to rebuild: the world needs entrepreneurs to lead the way in creating a better future, for everyone.
Whether you have already launched a startup or are still in the idea-phase, this is the time to act. 2020 brought havoc to our health, our society, and our economy, and what remains is a world filled with reshuffling industries and new problems that need to be solved. As we continue through 2022 and beyond, every entrepreneur has an opportunity to play a part in helping shape that better future.
That's why we are excited to announce applications are now open for the Nordeste Virtual 2022 program.
If you could use a structured process and a lifetime of support from Nordeste's top investors and entrepreneurs to build something meaningful, then apply to the Nordeste Virtual 2022 Founder Institute today.
Program Update: This accelerator will be run online with local and international mentors, with the potential for some optional in-person networking. Learn more on our Virtual Program FAQ page.
We will be hosting several free startup online events in Nordeste over the coming weeks, where you can learn virtually from top entrepreneurs from the comfort of your home:
