The Serbia Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the Serbia 2023 program.
After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just 6 of Grads 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 Serbia's top startup experts and investors.
And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the Serbia program:
- WhereToPark - A mobile application that will provide drivers in large cities with information about accessible parking spots.
- NANA Agency - A social protection service market that provides trained and certified care personnel to elderly in Belgrade, Serbia.
- RECIKOM MM INNOVATION DOO- A platform that seamlessly connects restaurants and waste collection companies, pioneering the solution to the escalating pollution crisis.
- Glowgurl- A distinctive wall art tailored for makeup enthusiasts.
- protokol cloud solutions doo - A platform to organize and automate all business activities.
- StudentVentures - A platfrom that helps talent acquisition specialists to find the best young talents.
The Serbia program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup.
The graduation will take place on February 5, 2024.
