Dale Academy Wins Startup Pitch at BiS SiGMA 2026

Brazil.– April 10, 2026 – www.zonadeazar.com  Dale Academy, a Brazilian startup focused on professional training and education for the betting and digital entertainment sector, was the big winner of the Startup Pitch at BiS SiGMA South America 2026, one of the main industry events in Latin America.

The competition brought together innovative initiatives from different areas of the iGaming ecosystem, with presentations evaluated by a selected panel of judges composed of executives, investors, and industry specialists. Dale Academy stood out by presenting a solid proposal aligned with the key demands of a rapidly expanding market.

Created to address the shortage of qualified professionals in a sector growing faster than workforce training, Dale Academy proposes a practical, market-oriented approach, connecting education, employability, and career development.

“iGaming does not have a growth problem. It has a people readiness problem. And it is precisely in this gap that Dale positions itself, training professionals ready to perform from day one,” highlights the startup’s institutional presentation.

For Fellipe Fraga, founder of Dale Academy, the recognition at the Startup Pitch represents a major milestone not only for the company but for the entire industry:

“This award reinforces something we have believed since the beginning: sustainable growth in the betting entertainment sector necessarily depends on people development. We are building a talent layer for an industry that is rapidly professionalising, and this recognition validates the importance of investing in training, practical education, and continuous development.”

Monara Shaynny, co-founder of the startup, highlighted the uniqueness of the applied methodology:

“Our method combines real market experience from industry professionals with cutting-edge technology in education. This accelerates learning and prepares students for real challenges, with an approach much closer to operational reality.”

BiS SiGMA South America 2026 brought together in São Paulo some of the leading names in the global betting, affiliate, technology, and regulatory industries, consolidating itself as one of the most relevant events on the international calendar. The Startup Pitch, in particular, has stood out as a showcase for innovative solutions aimed at driving sector development.

With courses already in operation, a hybrid B2C and B2B model, and expansion plans into corporate academies, Dale Academy positions itself as a pioneering initiative in structuring professional training in Brazilian iGaming, directly reducing training time and increasing operational efficiency.

Winning the award reinforces the startup’s potential to lead a new category within the market: specialised educational infrastructure for the betting sector.
