After ten years of supporting Puerto Rico’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, parallel18 is embarking on its most ambitious transformation yet. Beginning in 2026, our P18 program will transition from a traditional grant-based accelerator to a structured investment platform—a shift that promises to reshape how Puerto Rican and international startups access capital and scale globally.

• Rather than providing non-dilutive grants, parallel18 will now invest in selected startups partaking on P18.
• The focus shifts to identifying startups with the highest potential for global scale and providing them support.
