Pre-Acceleration Program — Batch XIII

This is where it begins.

Welcome to the 13th edition of B4i’s Pre-Acceleration Program. This is the space for early ideas, unpolished prototypes and intuitions that still need validation. Three months to test, iterate and challenge assumptions, supported by mentors, structured feedback and a community that does more than nod along.

What follows is a snapshot of the batch today. It will not look the same in a few months. After workshops, mentorship and direct market validation, many of these startups will have already refined their product, positioning or business model.

15 startup, 47 founders, 11 of whom are women. 13 Italian teams and 2 European teams from the DACH area. 7 B2B, 2 B2C and 6 hybrid models. The projects operate across deeptech, healthcare, legaltech, financial services, retail, robotics and climate innovation, with a strong focus on AI, machine learning, data analytics and industrial technologies.

This is the starting point. Welcome to Batch XIII!
