Ideaspace Ventures, MVP Group of Companies’ startup accelerator arm, recently added five new startups to its portfolio.

This addition is part of the 12th cohort of its flagship accelerator program, themed “Resilient Founders: Game-Changing Ventures,” and the first time for the group to make immediate investments in the startups selected.

The startups included in the latest cohort are the following: 

  • Collo: a startup that aims to improve and simplify property management.
  • Flying Tigers Express: a logistics service startup focused on same or next-day, door-to-door, island-to-island express delivery.
  • Itemcount: seeks to help businesses earn more by simplifying inventory-keeping
  • Remotify: designed to transform remote work management.
  • Swiftclaims: a startup on a mission to improve Philhealth insurance claims processing for Philippine healthcare institutions.

Startups supported by Ideaspace receive mentorship on business operations, guidance on fundraising strategies, and insights into effective marketing and sales tactics.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Cohort 12 startups into the Ideaspace family. The strength of our network, which connects founders, mentors, and the broader MVP group, will undoubtedly drive us to greater heights,” shared Rene “Butch” Meily, Ideaspace President.

The 13-week accelerator program will end with a Demo Day during Philippine Startup Week 2024 (PHSW24) in November, as explained by Ideaspace Deputy Director Ben Alderson.

The upcoming PHSW24 is in line with Ideaspace’s mission to help local startups through partnerships with government agencies such as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
