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

Over 140 founders 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 Monterrey's top startup experts and investors.  

And now, without further ado, we present the new Alumni of the Monterrey program:
