Frequently Asked Questions
Do you fund startups?
Our acceleration program does not involve an initial investment from us. Our program focuses on coaching and mentoring, tailored to the specific needs of each startup.
How do you help to get funds after the program?
The main goal of the program is to bring startups to a level of maturity that will allow them to become interesting to the players in our network. This could lead to different types of deals, including the possibility of funding after acceleration.
What kind of companies are you interested in?
We are mainly interested in startups with heterogeneous teams and a consolidated business model. We prefer reality with an MVP already tested or at least in an advanced stage. We carefully evaluate the identified technological architecture.
Who does Proxible typically choose to accelerate?
We are available to evaluate all the great ideas that come from you. Nevertheless, we are oriented towards the technological markets that we, like Spindox, already serve and for which we can offer knowledge and a solid network. For this reason, the industries we prefer to select are fashion, retail, automotive, and energy.
What is the application deadline?
By structuring tailor-made acceleration paths for the selected startups, we do not have deadlines to receive your applications. It is possible to apply at any time of the year.
