Decelera is not your typical startup program or investor. We are a founder-centric venture capital fund that believes great investments happen outside of the stuffy boardroom (preferably while wearing flip-flops.)

We believe in (and invest in) mission-driven founders. We have seen firsthand that, with the right tools and support, in the early stages of their ventures, they have the power to build transformative, sustainable companies. By fostering an ecosystem that unlocks their full potential, we help them launch the next generation of tech unicorns with an impact.

As a venture fund with one of the most innovative support programs out there, our scalable model and founder-centred approach have a profound and lasting impact on both companies and founders, empowering them to grow and thrive in today’s competitive market.

Because to grow, you need more than just capital—but we have that too.
