Acceleration funds

BuildIt Latvia

Buildit Latvia Accelerator's new intensified programme is specifically designed for IoT and hardware startups from all over the world.

You should have a team of at least two founders but we're happy to consider you if you're a single founder. In that case you should show that you can take your startup to the next level on your own and find co-founders in the process. More advanced teams with traction or who already have a working prototype have a higher chance to get into the programme. You are expected to live and work on your project in Riga, Latvia during the programme.

We accept up to 10 teams / batch who are creating exciting and fresh solutions in the following areas: 

• solutions for industry
• IoT and connected industry
• software for productivity
• smart living
• energy
• mobility
• sharing economy
• health-tech

Buildit provides investment of up to 50k € PreSeed and up to 250k€ Seed stage
