Strengths• Lot of knowledge and talent (top universities, strong selection)
• Many incubators (450) among which the largest of Latin America with hardware and 20 years of experience (100m$ investment)
• Big market
• Governmental push: Climate-KIC equivalents Startup Brazil en Seed
• Many accelerators and some good ones with strong connections to SV
Weaknesses• No entrepreneurial culture, strong divide between
science and business
• Internal focus (because of big market)
• No solid capital markets
• Very young scene (first accelerator 10 years young, most are 2-3-4 years)
Opportunities
• Brazil as a market for EU startups that offer solutions for biobased economy (i.e. Pectcof and Yellow-Pallet) and logistical challenges Brazilie (EasyTaxi was a BR startup)
• Startup Brazil and Seed are open to receive and support Climate-KIC startups
Threats
• Difficult country (local partner a must)
• Focus on fast-exit software startups but miles behind SV and Israel
• Expensive country
Lessons learned• all about people!!!
• strong selections focused on people over technology
• debate: can engineers be taught business skills vs adding business people to team
• right synergy a must: can the accelerator really help the startup?
• no bullshit nor mediastars-only allowed: a bullshit compass per startup: do they comply with what they said, and do the conferences they shine on actually contribute to their business?
• focus on product,-users-growth, not investment
• prepare VCs
• post acceleration program: acceleration doesn´t stop when the program ends
