About Midas Aceleradora

    Midas is a Brazilian accelerator focused on startups building solutions with Artificial Intelligence. We work alongside founders on validation, traction, fundraising and scale, with mentorship, access to a partner network and investor connections.

    Who we are

    We operate remotely/hybrid, supporting startups anywhere in Brazil, with institutional content in Portuguese and English.

    The relationship with startups is led directly by the founding partners, who work with the accelerated teams.

    Joining Midas is evaluated case by case: a consultant talks to the founders and presents the acceleration format and terms that fit the startup's stage.
