The Bubble Immerse program has selected 12 founders for its pre-accelerator for BIPOC entrepreneurs, marking the largest and most geographically diverse applicant pool to date. The program aims to help these founders build a product to test their ideas in real life, providing them with the confidence and conviction needed to navigate the early stages of building a business. With a focus on empowering founders from diverse backgrounds, the Immerse program is helping entrepreneurs connect with their "whys" more tangibly, and potentially avoiding discouragement that can lead to great ideas never seeing the light of day. The selected cohort includes founders from various industries and locations, including Brazil, Nigeria, Belgium, Mauritius, Peru, and South Africa, who are working on innovative solutions to real-world problems. Through the program, these founders will have the opportunity to build their MVPs in just 10 weeks and showcase their products at Demo Day on December 16th.
