This is the first step towards launching the 351 Startups membership programs. Soon, the association will announce new (paid) membership plans, where startup founders will have expanded access to new benefits offered by large tech companies, as well as access to mentoring from experts & advisors in various segments and they will also be able to use the network from large tech companies to scale their businesses nationally and internationally.
Also according to Pedro Rocha, “We are committed to supporting the growth and development of Portuguese startups.

From there, we will help startups to do things faster (such as scaling), with mentoring from experts & advisors in various segments.
Finally, we are structuring a network of global partners that will enable startups to scale in just a few months.” The 351 Portuguese Startup Association Perks program is a great opportunity for Portuguese startups of all stages of development to save money and grow faster.”
To join the program, startups just need to visit the perks page from 351 Portuguese Startup Association and request the required perks. If the startup is not yet a member from 351 yet, they can also request a free access to join the 351 community.
