Impact Accelerator has named the 20 startups that will be part of its first acceleration program, aimed at mobile projects from all over Europe that must commit to using FIWARE’s technology. The initiative is being pushed forward by a consortium of corporations and Venture Capital firms, including ISDI, Buongiorno (B-Ventures), Seaya Ventures and Teknologiudviking ApS.
The program includes online mentorship from professionals of various backgrounds (former executives, Venture Capitalists, business angels, etc) who might benefit from this relationship (deal flow), as well as up to €100,000 for each of the 20 startups. Impact will not receive any equity in return, basically providing free capital for European mobile products and services.
