Startup Lisboa and Bright Pixel partner to support B2B startups while sharing mentors and business.
“We want to give Portuguese startups the tools they need to thrive”
The partnership between the Startup Lisboa incubator and Bright Pixel was signed on Wednesday at the headquarters of Startup Lisboa and will take effect in March during the Pixels Camp event.
The two organizations will support B2B startups in the areas of retail, telecoms, cybersecurity and even new companies that engage in “emerging technologies” such as blockchain and artificial intelligence.
In practice, the incubator of the city of Lisbon and the studio that develops and invests in disruptive projects from the idea to the growth phase will begin to select together the startups to be incubated by each one of the organizations.
In addition, Bright Pixel experts will be available for the mentoring given to startups incubated at Startup Lisbon.
“This partnership has officialized a relationship that Startup Lisboa and Bright Pixel had already been developing in recent times. In an ecosystem as small and new as Portugal’s, but with a lot of will and ideas from hundreds of entrepreneurs, these synergies are very positive for their development and growth,” said Bright Pixel Founder and CEO Celso Martinho.
“We want to give Portuguese startups the tools they need to thrive,” he added.
