Wayra is known for prioritizing teams and hence seeks out entrepreneurs who are dedicated to their projects full-time. Wayra’s entrepreneurs are proactive individuals who are willing to pivot when necessary and are enthusiastic about spending time in the academy they choose.
Though Wayra is open to any project with a technological component, it will favor those that fall into certain areas. Its focus is on products and solutions related to analytics (big data and M2M), mobile technologies (developed in the HTML5 ecosystem), virtualization and cloud services (XaaS).
The startups selected for acceleration by Wayra will receive financing in exchange for equity (5-10%). They will have access to Wayra’s offices and receive consulting and advice on developing their businesses.
