    Frequently asked questions

    What is an innovation program provider, and is Mobil3 one?

    An innovation program provider designs and runs programs that produce working prototypes, pilots or adoption for a company or institution. Mobil3 is one in Mexico: it runs hackathons and innovation challenges, university and government programs, events and developer adoption programs in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, and reports what each program produced.

    How does a company start a program with Mobil3?

    Send a short brief through the form on the companies page or book a 30 minute call. Every program runs in four steps: discovery, design, run and report, with the audience, KPIs and deliverables agreed before anything is booked.

    Are Mobil3 programs free for founders and developers?

    Yes. Programs for founders and developers are free, and Mobil3 never takes equity. Participants get mentorship, startup perks from the companies we work with and direct access to the companies that are hiring and investing in Mexico.

    What is a developer program?

    A developer program is a planned series of activities that gets developers building with a company's product: workshops, credits and starter kits, office hours, hackathons and project showcases, with adoption measured at the end. Mobil3 designs and runs developer programs in Mexico at universities and developer communities in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, and reports who built what.

    Does Mobil3 offer developer relations (DevRel) services in Mexico?

    Mobil3 is a developer program company, not a DevRel agency, and it runs the on-the-ground part of developer relations in Mexico: workshops, hackathons, campus activations and office hours in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, with a report of what developers built. Companies keep their own DevRel team. Mobil3 gives it local operators, rooms and audiences.
