Any startups aspiring to enter Wayra, the corporate accelerator for Telefónica Open Future_, will be able to apply to develop their idea at the academies in Caracas (Venezuela), London (UK), Mexico DF (Mexico), Munich (Germany), Santiago (Chile) and Sao Paolo (Brazil).
The deadline for submissions of the call for proposals –aimed at entrepreneurs with IT-based projects– is October, 23rd (23:59 GMT+1).
Wayra, the startup accelerator network belonging to Telefónica Open Future_ which is present worldwide with 11 academies in 10 countries, has launched a new call for proposals (the second one in 2016) for entrepreneurs. There are 27 places available, divided among the facilities in Caracas (Venezuela), London (UK), Mexico DF (Mexico), Munich (Germany), Santiago (Chile) and Sao Paolo (Brazil).
Proposals from startups can be received up until 23 October, and the only requirement for the proposals is to be focused to the digital environment. Nevertheless, solutions involving the Internet of Things (IoT), Security, Cloud, projects for network infrastructures and Big Data are specially appreciated. Another desirable, but not essential, factor is for the solutions to have begun their commercial validation process.
Selected companies will receive financial investment in the form of seed capital and acceleration services including a stay in an innovative co-working space by the project team, guidance and direct support from the Wayra team, mentoring on key issues for business growth (such as advice on strategy, sales, marketing and communication), training in entrepreneurship tools and business management, access to Wayra, Open Future_ and Telefónica's network of contacts and experience not only in the city where their stay is based but also from the rest of the countries where the initiative is present, and exposure in the media and vis-à-vis potential investors.
Requirements for participation include, besides of having a product/service based on new technologies and Internet which is validated by the market (active users), having a scalable business model with global projection; boasting a multidisciplinary task force, with experience in the company's sector; and being committed to the acceleration process.
