Corporate Pilot Opportunities
In each cohort of 10 startups, Maze X's corporate partners will select 2 to design and implement a corporate pilot within their organisations.
Our team will work alongside your startups to help you learn about the challenges of a big corporate and to design the best pilot approach. During the four months of acceleration, we will work together on defining the best metrics to measure the progress of the pilot ensuring that both startups and the corporate extract the most out of this experience and put you on the road for a prosperous relationship in the future.

BNP Paribas
The bank for a changing world
BNP Paribas is Europe's leading provider of banking and financial services. As part of its CSR strategy, BNP Paribas is actively contributing to Portugal's carbon neutrality. This year they want to find the best startups focused on circular economy, and test a solution internally with their workforce of over 7.000 employees.
We are on the hunt for 10 tech-based early-stage impact startups focused on solving social and environmental challenges while generating attractive financial results. As an impact startup accelerator, we look at metrics that corroborate how revenue and impact are mutually reinforcing. This is what we call the lock-step model.
