A program for early-stage startup projects
These teams tested their ideas on the global market in the Brighter program. Many are still active today, while some were validated on the market and shut down. No matter the outcome, the participants learned and grew from their time in the Brighter Program and from developing an idea. On this page, you can see how the teams described themselves at the time of their journey.
You can find current information about the teams that are still active by visiting their websites.
