Overview
The University of Montevideo (UM) started off in 1986 as the Institute of Business Studies of Montevideo (IEEM). Some months later the IEEM started a postgraduate in business law. From there and on the IEEM continued incorporating new courses mixing law and business, such as seminar in management, business administration, master's degree in business law and much more.
It wasn't until April 29 of 1997 that the IEEM was approved to function as a university and from there it's known as the Universidad de Montevideo. To be legally approved as a university it was demanded the existence of three areas of knowledge, these were:

They received funds from ANII, settled their office at the university and with some student interns developed the first prototype of a virtual makeover. The product was sold to a local store and after that Start Up Chile, 500 Startups and Plug and Play supported and invested in their new app: GlamST.
