The Launchpad Start is designed to promote entrepreneurship and support the local ecosystem. These events are held regularly in cities such as Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, Singapore, London, New York, Bogota, and Mexico.
The program focuses on the solution of specific challenges, including product, user experience, marketing, business, and growth. For a week, they will delve into aspects of their business based on key issues for early stage startups: business, growth, UX / UI, design and development, finance, technology, and marketing.
The program will have specialists from the Google, Increase and A3 network from Mexico, Colombia, the United States and Argentina. For this edition fintech will be lead by Pablo Croci, CMO of Increase, and leaders of the fintech industry in the region.
In the first edition of the program held in Buenos Aires in 2018, 14 startups participated. “We found more mature companies, such as Increase, which, in the manner of a forward mirror, helped us to imagine a very stimulating future in the near future. Which, in the sea of uncertainties involved in setting up a start-up in Argentina, is vital.
We also had a couple of key mentors, who connected us with other valuable people who are part of the team today. The LaunchPad was for us a shortcut, a lot of encouragement and a great toolbox, “said Manuel Mauer, co-founder and COO of Agilis.
