OPPORTUNITY ALERT🛎️: Two Startup Programs You Can’t Miss

Sometimes, we plan our weekly spotlight.
And sometimes, well, two golden opportunities crash into the radar.

Both are closing this week. Both are (very) selective.
And both are designed to take you from regular founder to funded and global.

Let’s go.

Latitud SF Fellowship – Deadline: August 1st

Apply here →

You don’t need traction. Or even a product.

You need:

• To be an early founder or builder based in São Paulo, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, or San Francisco

• To have startup instincts

• And to be selected: 1% acceptance rate last time

What you get:

• 💸 $60K for 2.5% equity

• 🧠 9 weeks of accelerated startup learning. (The mentors look very good)

• ✈️ Final week in San Francisco: go global with LatAm’s top network

They’ve helped launch companies that raised $1B+. It could be your turn.

Decelera Mexico 2025 – Deadline: July 31st

Apply here →

Decelera is not your typical accelerator.
It’s a decelerator, a 7-day immersive retreat on the Yucatán Peninsula to reflect, recharge, and get investor-ready.

I’ve known the Decelera team for years, and this program is unique in every sense.

What you get:

• 🛏️ Fully funded hotel stay for 2 co-founders

• 🧘 Mindful growth, nature, and deep founder connections

• 💰 Up to $300K initial investment potential

• 🌍 Global applicants welcome

Who it’s for:

• Early-stage startups (pre-seed to pre-Series A)

• Tech-enabled, planet-positive solutions

• Founders ready to raise and pause to accelerate

No fee. No equity. No fluff.
Apply here before July 31st →
