About Inova Nordeste
Inova Nordeste is an initiative of Sebrae units in Alagoas, Maranhão, Pernambuco, Piauí and Sergipe, with Ventiur coordinating it. Its pages also describe Ventiur as supporting the execution of the selection process, and one page names the national Sebrae as a partner too. It runs one selection process for startups in the five states. Selected startups get acceleration, mentoring and strategic connections. Investment may follow, but it is not guaranteed, and a startup is not required to accept any offer.
What you get
- Acceleration, mentoring and strategic connections.
- Possible evaluation for investment after the process, subject to the steps being completed and to available resources.
Who can apply
- Startups in the five Northeast states that have validated their solution and have paying clients.
- Registration does not guarantee selection.
How selection works: eligibility check, evaluation against the published criteria (problem, market, solution, business model, team, commercial validation, revenue and clients, execution capacity, differentiation and growth potential), possible interviews or document requests, then the selection notice.
How to apply: register through the official startup form, following the published notice and its closing date.
