February was definitely the "launch" month: we successfully kicked off the first edition of the Future Founders Program, the eleventh edition of our Pre-Acceleration Program, and - last but not least - the eleventh edition of our Acceleration Program, with 6 amazing new startups joining B4i.
After an initial settling-in period, it is now time for them to officially present who they are, what they do, and most importantly...WHY they chose to be here today.
