The Mexico City Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the Mexico City Virtual 2021 program.

Over 360 people applied to the program, and after an intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints and constant evaluation and feedback from investors and mentors, just 12 companies were able to make it through. 

Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of Mexico City's top startup experts and investors.  The new CDMX Founder Institute Alumni invite members of the public to join them next Tuesday, June 8, 2021 for an online Graduation event featuring the founders of Rappi, Andres Bilbao and Juan Pablo Ortega - RSVP here.

And now, without further ado, we proudly present the newest portfolio Alumni of the FI Mexico City program: 

The Mexico City Virtual 2021 program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup. We would first like to thank the Local Leaders of the Mexico City Founder Institute: Jose Antonio Tena Sendra and Lorena Sanchez. Our Local Leaders play an incredibly important role in building the local Founder Institute program, and creating an environment and network in Mexico City that is conducive to building to great companies.
