How to participate in Startup Matchbox
By Fernanda Alvarenga·Published on 6/16/2026
Startup Matchbox was created to facilitate collaboration between startups and companies through real business challenges.
The platform is designed to make this process clearer, more structured, and focused on real collaboration opportunities.
In practice, Startup Matchbox works as a meeting point between companies looking to solve specific challenges and startups developing solutions with real application potential.
How participation works
Participation in Startup Matchbox follows a simple logic: challenges and solutions.
Companies can launch challenges related to operational, technological, or strategic needs. These challenges are structured to explain the context, the problem being addressed, and the type of solution being sought.
Startups can explore these opportunities and identify the challenges that best match their solutions, expertise, or technology.
For startups
For startups, Startup Matchbox represents an opportunity to work on real problems and access real business contexts.
When responding to a challenge, the goal is not only to present technology, but to demonstrate how the solution can address the identified need and create impact.
More than an application process, it is an opportunity to explore potential collaboration.
For companies
For companies, Startup Matchbox makes it possible to structure challenges and identify innovative solutions in a more focused way.
By clarifying the problem and context behind a challenge, companies can more easily identify relevant startups and explore new approaches to concrete needs.
This model helps connect companies and startups in a more efficient and outcome-oriented way.
A process built around collaboration
Startup Matchbox was not designed simply as a contact point between startups and companies.
Its goal is to create the conditions for challenges and solutions to meet more efficiently, enabling real collaboration opportunities.
