Information

FGV Ventures is the first university-based accelerator in Brazil. It operates as a no equity and no fee accelerator, which means it does not take ownership in the startups it supports nor charges any fees for its services. This unique approach is designed to boost super seed companies by providing them with the necessary resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to scale their businesses. Entrepreneurs benefit from access to a robust network of industry experts, potential investors, and the academic resources of Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), a renowned Brazilian higher education institution. The accelerator focuses on nurturing innovative ideas and transforming them into successful ventures without the financial burden on the startups.
