We already know the winners of the Santalucía IMPULSA acceleration program!

The acceleration program Santalucía IMPULSA of Santalucía insurance has come to an end. It has been a few months of hard work, enthusiasm, innovation and, above all, results. Yesterday it was held in The Royal Tapestry Factory the final of the program, in which the winners of the program were selected, although for us they all won. The event was presented by Helena Díez FuenteYes, who managed to make it a great evening. Ángel Uzquiza, Director of Innovation at Santalucía insurance, was also a participant on several occasions throughout the event, bringing his experience in the sector to a most exciting day. Not only the finalist startups were there: Sense Water Foil, WBunker, Wibber, Wake App Health, Xenopat, Livetonic, Beprevent, Willowi, Sentimer Technologies and Cerqana; their mentors, such as Fernando Caravaca, Cristian Alonso and Carolina Castro, accompanied them to the end, doing their bit to innovation and entrepreneurship. In addition, during the jury's deliberation, we were fortunate to have a performance by Didi Rodan, the magician of sand, who transformed every grain of sand provided by mentors into true art.

Nerves were on edge in the moments before the winners were named. The jury had a very difficult time, as the presentations of the projects were excellent. Finally, the Podium Impulsa was made up of:Xenopat and his fight against cancer, which he succeeded €10,000 to win third place.Wibber, the smartest way to manage social networks, which was done with the Second place From the podium getting 15,000€ prize.Livetonic, the online financial advisor on risk, savings, investment and retirement; who got hold of the first place and €25,000 of prize.But they weren't the only winners of the night, one of the surprises of the night was a fourth winner, chosen by the public, who considered deserving WBunker, the APP to protect your loved ones. In addition, at the end of the event, all the mentors presented their startups with a gift of thanks for their participation in the program.From Santaluía IMPULSA we want to give our sincerest congratulations to the winners, but also to congratulate the other entrepreneurs who have participated in the program, because for us they are all champions. At the start of the program, we received a total of 458 projects, of which only 10 have been accelerated, so just the fact that we have come this far is a great reason to be proud. And they are not the only ones who have won, because all the enthusiasm, passion and desire that our entrepreneurs have placed in this program have been the best gifts we could receive. We also want to thank all the mentors once again for their involvement, commitment and dedication to the startups in the program, well without them Santalucía IMPULSA it would not have been possible. They have been months of hard work, although full of enthusiasm, and now that they have come to an end, all we can think about is the beginning of the second edition of Santalucía IMPULSA, because we certainly want to relive this experience. What innovative projects will we be lucky enough to have next year?
