Aceleradora ECO · Brazil · since 2021cohorts forming
Startups are not accelerated by advice.
They are accelerated by a path.
We take people who are building and put them through a program with method, deadlines and deliverables — from the first sketch to a registered company, with a live product and a paying customer.

How it works
One path, and it has an end.
Acceleration here is not a monthly meeting with generic advice. It is a designed program, with a deliverable every module and a date to finish.
- 01
Start where you areDiagnosis
An idea on a napkin, a half-built prototype, or a company earning a little — each stage has its own entry point, and we tell you which one is yours.
- 02
Go through the programExecution
Modules with deadlines and deliverables. No classes that end in notes: every block closes with something that exists outside the classroom.
- 03
Leave with a companyExit
Not a certificate. A registered company, a live product, a first customer, and the numbers in hand to decide what comes next.
The programs
The path changes with what you are building.
Each program is a full crossing, with a beginning, a middle and a delivery. You take the one that fits where you are.
Startup-seMain program
Fourteen modules, four to six months. Takes a loose idea to a registered company, with a running product, a paying customer and a chosen route.
Crypto in practiceFrom our catalog
From zero to your first crypto operation, covering wallets, security and the traps nobody warns you about. For builders in Web3 — or anyone who wants to read the ground.
SpecializationsIn preparation
Short, deep blocks: Web3, AI and automation, data protection, SaaS, B2B sales, angel investment. They ship as cohorts ask for them.
What you leave with
You do not leave with a certificate. You leave with a company.
Every module of the main program ships something that exists outside the classroom — and by the end, this is yours:
- A registered company
Incorporation, contracts, the legal basics in place.
- A product that runs
Live and usable. Not a slide-deck prototype.
- A paying customer
The first one. It is what separates a project from a business.
- CAC you measured
What a customer costs to acquire. A number, not a guess.
- A route you chose
Grow, sell, or close well. Choosing is part of the method.
The method
Learning by doing, literally.
The programs are built on Experience Learning, the methodology from Perestroika. Every module has a hands-on challenge you actually build, not an exercise to hand in. We did not come up with this on our own, and we make a point of saying where it came from.
Experience Learning methodology — Perestroika
About us
ECO has existed since 2021, and it has actually run.
A startup accelerator registered in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil. In our first cycle we talked to around a hundred startups in thirty days, took a smart-city project forward with the city government behind it, and ran technology and entrepreneurship communities on the Santa Catarina coast. We know what works because we have done it — and because we have got it wrong.
