Startup investment
First, we assess investment fit.
During an initial 15-minute conversation, we assess whether your company is an investment opportunity for AceleraVentures / Add Ventures. We review its context, stage and available evidence to assess thesis fit and readiness for VC investment.
Investment fit from the first conversation
If your company aligns with our investment thesis and is ready for VC investment, it enters our deal process immediately so we can proceed with the review and reach a decision. You do not need to join a program or engage advisory services to begin this process.
How the deal process begins
- First conversation
- Understand what the company is building, its stage and the opportunity it wants to fund.
- Thesis and readiness
- Assess the opportunity’s thesis fit and the evidence of readiness for VC investment.
- Review and decision
- If fit and readiness align, your company moves directly into the review leading to an investment decision. Entering the process does not mean an investment has been approved.
AceleraVentures and Add Ventures
In 2026, AceleraVentures integrated with Add Ventures Capital.
Each vehicle has its own investment criteria. In the first conversation, we assess the opportunity’s fit; you can explore the platform and fund information through Add Ventures.
Different investment routes
A selection of direct investments by AceleraLatam and Add Ventures, and investments through our special purpose vehicles (SPVs).
The portfolio identifies each company’s investment route. This attribution clarifies its relationship with AceleraLatam, Add Ventures funds or an SPV.
Investment and advisory are independent decisions
You do not need to engage an advisor or join ALGEN to begin the deal process if your company has the required fit and readiness.
If your company needs preparation or support, we assess separately whether a program or advisory engagement makes sense. Neither guarantees investment.
What to share in your first contact
Tell us what you are building, for whom, the company’s stage and what you need to address. Share only general information in the form. If we proceed, we agree later on the documents and channels for sharing them.
Questions founders ask
Before we talk.
Can I present an opportunity without hiring services?
Yes. Investment evaluation is independent of advisory services and programs. If thesis fit and readiness align, your company enters the deal process directly.
Does the first conversation imply an investment decision?
No. It is used to assess initial fit. When fit and readiness align, the review leading to an investment decision begins.
What happens if the company needs more preparation?
We review the gaps and assess separately whether a suitable preparation approach exists. No program is assigned automatically and no later investment is guaranteed.
Can I ask about investment, co-investment or collaboration?
Yes. Use the same form and describe the opportunity you want to explore. The conversation is exploratory and does not imply an investment commitment.
