By Bufete Mejía & Asociados

From July 20 to 21, 2019, the last day of the 2019 edition of the Honduras Digital Challenge took place in Tegucigalpa. The initiative provides all the necessary tools and support for young entrepreneurs who want to develop their ideas and creations.

Known as the Demo Day, 30 teams from different cities of the country participated in the final contest, presenting their ideas through a pitch to the public and a panel of international judges. The winner was Bync, a mobile application that facilitates the management of personal budgets, allowing all online transactions to be categorized through machine learning algorithms, providing an anticipated calculation of daily, weekly and monthly expenses.

As the other 29 teams, Bync went through a 3-month pre-incubation program called Startup Challenge, which consisted of a series of workshops, talks and mentoring that helped the team develop its ideas and plan their marketing through the best international practices and standards.
