What support phases does BFFood offer?
BFFood offers three support phases (incubation, acceleration, and consolidation) aimed at entrepreneurial initiatives aligned with the challenges of the food sector. The support services offered in each phase are designed to support the entire lifecycle of entrepreneurial projects, from the initial idea through the incubation phase and subsequent acceleration, to the consolidation of sales through the consolidation phase.

The objective of this phase is for projects to validate the identified need and define their business model. For three months, they will receive a specialized training program in entrepreneurship and individualized strategic advice.
Incubation

The objective of this phase is to streamline the project development process until they achieve a marketable product or service, including model validation, MVP development, and initial order acquisition. For nine months, projects will receive funding, strategic advice, and mentoring, among other services.
Acceleration

The objective of this phase is to expedite the conversion of projects into stable business models, increasing sales and recurring revenue and making progress toward internationalization. Over the course of nine months, participating projects will receive training and coaching in marketing and internationalization.
