Branded merchandise, demo-day kits, conference presence, recruiting-cycle apparel, and founder-cycle merch programs for the Mexican startup ecosystem — Startup México, ENDEAVOR Mexico, Mass Challenge Mexico, TechBA, Founder Institute Mexico, 500 Startups Mexico (now part of the gener8tor network), the Mexican startup ecosystem along the Roma-Condesa corridor in CDMX, the Mexican startup ecosystem in Guadalajara (the GDL startup corridor), the Mexican startup ecosystem in Monterrey (the MTY startup corridor), the Mexican startup ecosystem in Mérida, the Mexican startup ecosystem in Querétaro, the Mexican startup ecosystem in Tijuana, the Mexican startup ecosystem in Puebla.
Mexican startups operate against a calendar the European and US startups do not share. The demo-day cycle aligns with the Mexican accelerator and incubator calendar (typically March-April and September-October); the pitch-cycle aligns with the Mexican VC and CVC calendar; the conference cycle aligns with the Mexican startup-conference calendar (Startup México Summit, ENDEAVOR Mexico High Impact, the Mexican Fintech Summit, the Mexican Startup Awards); the cross-border cycle aligns with the US-side and LATAM-side expansion rhythm.
The merch has to read as the startup. The buyer reads the merch the same way they read the startup's deck — the materials have to be of the highest quality, the typography has to be perfect, the brand-manual has to be clean. The Pantone palette, the embroidery thread colour, the leather quality, the pen weight — every detail has to land.
For the demo-day and pitch-event cycle (Startup México demo day, ENDEAVOR Mexico High Impact, Founder Institute Mexico, the Mexican demo-day calendar) — branded apparel, attendee merch, gift-quality items for the investor and the partner table. Per-event runs of 25–250 pieces with venue delivery 24–48 hours before the event opens.
For the startup's engineering, sales, and operations hiring cycle — new-hire welcome kit with branded apparel, art-direction notebook, encrypted USB, custom drinkware. Monthly runs of 5–25 kits, annual runs of 100–500 for the larger startups.
For the startup's brand-loyalty and customer-engagement cycle — branded apparel, drinkware, notebook, pen, the startup's bespoke merch proposal. Per-cycle runs of 100–5,000 pieces with the startup's brand-manual fidelity.
For the international startup-conference cycle (TechCrunch Disrupt, Web Summit, Slush, the South by Southwest, the Consumer Electronics Show, the Mobile World Congress, the LA Tech Week, the SF Tech Week) — branded apparel, premium presentation kits, gift-quality items for the international partner and investor table. USD billing standard. Shipped to the conference venue four weeks before the conference opens.
For startups, the startup's brand-manual is the brief. The brand team sends us the moodboard, the Pantone palette, the typography, the materials reference, the logo art direction, and the voice tone. The merch proposal we hand the startup respects every element of the brand direction without flattening it.
For unique constructions (sublimated microfiber, debossed Tyvek, custom silicone wristbands with embedded NFC, hand-stitched leather objects) we sample in our CDMX workshop before committing to the production run. The Pantone-match approval sample travels with the production run, so the startup's brand team can verify the colour match before the production run ships.
Pricing in MXN excluding IVA (16%) for the Mexico-side billing, USD billing standard for the international startup-conference presence and the US-side parent. CFDI 4.0 with USO CFDI G03 for the Mexico-side expense line. MOQ tiers at 25 / 50 / 100 / 250 for demo-day and pitch-event kits; 50 / 100 for recruiting-cycle kits; 100 / 250 / 500 for brand-loyalty and customer-engagement kits; 25 / 50 for international startup-conference presence. Lead time 5–8 working days for orders under 250 units; 4–6 weeks for the demo-day annual kit; 6–8 weeks for the international startup-conference annual kit. Production hubs in CDMX (the apparel and premium partner), Guadalajara (the apparel and embroidery partner), and the State of Mexico (the small-format tokens).
