INSI Ventures has just opened registration for the 5th edition of Bring Your SaaS, a challenge that selects startups with high growth potential. This year, the program introduces a unique proposal: a selection process entirely driven by artificial intelligence.
Since 2019, Bring Your SaaS has evaluated more than 500 startups and invested more than R$10 million in promising technology solutions. Now, the 2025 edition is rebranding itself with the name Bring Your SaaS – Powered by AI, reinforcing the role of artificial intelligence as a strategic pillar of innovation at INSI and its ecosystem.
Artificial Intelligence at Every Stage
The key differentiator of this edition is the use of three AI agents developed specifically to support the selection process:
- Alex, which simulates the evaluation panel based on technical criteria;
- Ane, the virtual assistant who supports and guides participating startups;
- And the agent INSI Ventures, who organizes the behind-the-scenes process and ensures smooth operation.
The agents were created in partnership with the startup DokaLab, a leader in building digital twins based on advanced neuroscience models that simulate human cognition with high fidelity.
What does the challenge offer?
Besides making the process more technical, automated, and transparent, the challenge offers the possibility of up to R$1.5 million in investment, as well as access to the INSI ecosystem, partnerships with companies such as SAP, Microsoft, and AWS, and participation in a Pitch Day with major market names.
Who can participate?
Brazilian startups in the traction or final validation phase, with a SaaS business model (B2B or B2B2C) and solutions that utilize AI in a relevant way. It is important that proposals have synergy with INSI's portfolio and the capacity to generate a real impact on the market.
Schedule:
- June 24th – Applications open

*Applications, which were set to close on August 22nd, have been extended until August 31st.
