Who we are, and proof of our legal standing.
Our story, the team behind Startin, and the documents that support our operation as a nonprofit entity.
Startin began with a personal need.
Startin did not begin as a foundation. It began with a father trying to support his daughter’s academic progress.
With every family move, the same question came up: how could he support her academic progress and ensure she had the tools she needed? The first response was focused: bring technology tools closer to schools.
The pandemic turned that need into purpose. Teachers were seen walking through communities with printed sheets, visiting students one by one because they had no technological tools to work any other way. It became clear that the problem was not one family’s: it was an entire system’s.
Today, Startin reaches 101 municipalities across 24 departments. Tolima is the department with Startin’s greatest presence, with 22 municipalities served.

What does Fundación Startin do?
We design and deliver responsible AI adoption projects for companies, educational institutions and territories. The work combines diagnosis, supported implementation, installed capacity and completion evidence.
