About this Program
Decelera, the world’s first decelerator, is a 9-day cost and equity-free program held in Yucatan, Mexico. 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 $3M follow on).
Our 2024 program is taking place Oct 3rd - Oct 12th 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.

Martin Varsavsky (Founder, Jazztel, Fon, Prelude Fertility, VAS Ventures),
Maria Raga (CEO, Depop),
