About this Program
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.
Best performing startups are eligible for a €150k to €300k convertible note (with the possibility of up to €2 million follow-on).
Our 2024 program is taking place May 23 - June 2 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.
