I attached a briefing about SeedRocket.

I'm going to explain you how it works SeedRocket.:

SeedRocket is a non profit association, that has 24 mentors associates. The
mentors are people who has started technological companies and they have
been success.

Every six month we organize a SeedRocket Campus. During 8 days, ten startups
and ten mentors works works together in different areas (strategic,
business model, …). The last day the mentors select the best 3 startups.

The mentors invest in that three selected startups, the amount invested per
startup is 20.000€. So all the mentors has the same shares in every startup.
The 3 startups selected will work in the SeedRocket offices during 6 months,
and SeedRocket team and mentors try to accelerate the companies. After 6
months if the startup has potential we try to raise more money.

Now SeedRocket portafolio has 12 companies and 5 of them has raised more
money from other Business Angels o Seed Venture Capital.

Now we are planning to change the model, because we would like to scale
SeedRocket.

Best regards,

I hadn't heard of SeedRocket before, and unfortunately I can't read Spanish. Do you have any information in English about the program? Would love to include it in my run-down of similar programs.
