It’s hard to believe that we’re already at the end of this year. It went by so fast and yet, it seems sooooo looong ago since the first edition of Lisbon Challenge to the end of our third! 2014 was full of bright successes with 52 startups coming out of Lisbon Challenge, 54 new businesses created via Beta-innovation and 5 huge, amazing, 5-star events.

Our startups got featured on TV-channels, on Tech Crunch, Lisbon Challenge was featured as one of Europe’s best tech accelerators on The Guardian and so much more happened that we often find ourselves referring to a few months ago as “last year”! And the Atalanta project is now kicking-off, so things are just heating up, to make up for these cold (but sunny!) Lisbon winter days!

All of this wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing community of startups, mentors, coaches, instructors, sponsors, partners, supporters and friends, and of course our A(wesome)-Team! Thank you for believing in Beta-i!

Are you ready for another amazing year? Let’s start 2015 with awesome rock’on initiatives!

In the meantime, do enjoy some downtime and have a well deserved holiday break!
