Statistics reveal that nearly half of technology and innovation projects fail before reaching the development phase. Even among those that progress, over half falter within the first year, often due to a lack of technical, financial, or developmental expertise. After years of observing startups at various stages, we've realized that most don't fail due to a lack of ideas or investment, but because of insufficient structure, methodology, and ongoing support.

That's why UEX was established: to operate where initiatives often stumble execution. Our business brings together people, processes, and experience to transform ideas into sustainable companies. We believe innovation requires more than inspiration; it demands strategy, discipline, and consistency.

we are a startup studio.

Startup studios are "startup factories" that build companies internally, from ideation to validation and growth. Unlike accelerators and incubators, they develop startups from scratch, applying structured processes, agile methodologies, and access to capital, reducing risks and increasing chances of success.  

According to the Global Startup Studio Network (GSSN), startups originating from studios have a success rate of 30%, compared to 10% for traditional startups. Currently, there are over 600 studios operating globally, notably in the United States and Europe. Success stories include Rocket Internet, which launched Lazada and Foodpanda, and Science Inc., responsible for creating Dollar Shave Club, acquired by Unilever for $1 billion.  

With data-driven processes and greater strategic control, startup studios are expanding into emerging markets and exploring disruptive technologies like AI and blockchain, attracting more investors.

our story.

We were born with the aim of supporting companies and entrepreneurs in the creation of technology businesses, as we like to say, we are the geeky partner that every investor wants, but to be able to do this at scale we have gone through several challenges and learnings...
2017
the beginning of the nerd rebellion

From a dream of Maurício B. da Silva, UEX was born organically, in a project with Solumedi. Still without a formal business plan, but with an experienced team and a clear idea: to develop technology for growth - with intelligence, method and a focus on results.

first breath, first victories

As projects take shape, UEX is beginning to validate its operational model. We carried out the digital transformation project for Maria Brasileira, one of the largest residential cleaning franchises in Brazil. We created a scalable technological platform that supported its national expansion, reinforcing our operating model with real impact.

development of S2 medica

S2 medica is launched as an internal spin-off: a digital health platform focused on access to exams in a simple, fast and unbureaucratic way. It became one of UEX's biggest growth cases.

We have completed the validation cycle and officially presented ourselves to the market. The phase of institutional positioning, brand building and culture strengthening begins. UEX celebrates its fifth anniversary with an official launch event at its headquarters and begins a new phase of growth with a total focus on the Startup Studio model.

2024 marks a new cycle for UEX. We have expanded our headquarters into a larger space designed to foster collaboration, creativity and high-performance operation. The team has grown, incorporating new specialists in product, technology and strategy. The structure is in line with our long-term vision: to be the best startup studio in the world. We operate with more simultaneous projects than ever before - maintaining consistency in delivery and results.

2025
we are now global

In 2025, UEX begins its first international project. We are taking our method, culture and execution capacity outside Brazil, validating our approach in a new market. This milestone not only represents a geographical expansion - but the consolidation of UEX as a global studio, ready to create digital businesses anywhere in the world. An important step towards the internationalization of our processes and our delivery culture.
