Spain: Six Startups Chosen for the Eighth Edition of Cuatrecasas Acelera Start the Program in September
Cuatrecasas business accelerator program, Cuatrecasa Acelera, which has already helped over 40 startups launch their business, has selected six projects focused on the Fintech, Healthtech, Energy and Deeptech sectors. Over 90 applications were received.
“We continue to see increasing maturity in the startups applying to our program. It has been extremely difficult to choose these six, but we are very excited with the selection. We are focusing on generative AI, which has also provided us with a set of different startups”.
The startups will meet in Barcelona on September 19 and 20 and in Madrid on November 8 and 9 to attend the respective bootcamps planned for this year. These meetings are of great interest for the entrepreneurs, who will start working on accelerating and boosting the growth of their projects together with their legal mentors, both in business and technology, who will accompany them throughout the four months of the program. They will also have the opportunity to meet some of the participants from previous editions and expand their network of contacts in the ecosystem.
During these days, entrepreneurs will validate and establish their projects’ legal growth strategies, in addition to facing negotiation simulation sessions and identifying the legal challenges of applying disruptive technologies, which they use to drive their projects. They will also learn to gain traction through presentations by the firm’s partners and lawyers with expertise in the main areas of business law and legal training sessions in tax, employment and intellectual property.
