Decelera

Decelera, the world’s first decelerator, is a 10-day cost and equity-free program held on the island of Menorca. Hosted by Decelera Ventures, a fund focused on investing in impact-focused seed-stage startups.

Selected startups will be eligible for a €300.000 convertible note (with the possibility of €2M follow on).

Our 2024 program is taking place May 24 - June 3 in Menorca, Spain.

Decelera is the perfect program for founders who want to take a step back, slow down, gain perspective and new insights, and prepare for their next phase of growth. You’ll spend your days on the island sharing 1:1 and group experiences with investors, mentors, and industry-leading founders.

Our past mentors include:
Martin Varsavsky (Founder, Jazztel, Fon, Prelude Fertility, VAS Ventures),
Maria Raga (CEO, Depop),
Manel Adell (Ex CEO at Desigual, Puig),
