INTELI

BRAZIL'S FIRST PROJECT

BASED TECH UNIVERSITY

WHO WE ARE

We are a pioneering institution created by André Esteves and Roberto Sallouti, both partners at BTG Pactual, Latin America's largest investment bank, with a bold mission: to empower the next generation of tech and business leaders in Brazil and the world.

WE BELIEVE TALENT IS EVERYWHERE - BUT OPPORTUNITY IS NOT

At Inteli, we are bridging that gap through real-world, high-impact, and purpose-driven education.

OUR DNA

100% project-based learning

Real challenges from leading companies

Strong focus on leadership and soft skills

Global mindset, local action

OUR PARTNERS

We work hand-in-hand with top-tier companies to deliver real-world challenges and internships for our students:

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

PROJECT-BASED, MARKET-DRIVEN, HUMAN-CENTERED

We don't just teach technology-we teach how to lead with it. Our courses are built around real-world challenges from top companies, using a project-based learning (PBL) methodology, where students design full prototypes, pitch to executives, and develop essential skills in collaboration, leadership, and execution.

OUR PILLARS:

  • Learning through projects: All subjects are integrated into multidisciplinary, real-world challenges.
  • Technical depth and business fluency: Students master computing, business, and leadership simultaneously.
  • Soft skills and leadership: Focus on collaboration, communication, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
