Aurelia Ventures was the first venture firm that we had the opportunity to work with which truly allowed us to get up on our feet with the foundational tools and technologies required for a software startup. It's the best 'Startup Package for Startups' that I saw in the market that helped me filter through all the productivity tools, cloud environments and more - in order to focus on product development - with nice discounts! Thanks to Felix and the team for being so responsive and fun to work with

Program requirements
Time is precious when you’re scaling your company.
That’s why we tailor each program to the needs of the respective startup, meet with the founder on a flexible basis and give them advice on the topics they care about. Our goal is to create an environment where founders can be the most productive and focus exclusively on scaling their startups without being distracted by fixed schedules or external commitments.
Please find the respective requirements on each program page:
Spark, Rise, Scale or the Fundraising Program.
We try to interfere as little as possible in the startups we accept to the program. We don’t take board seats or equity or many of the other powers startup programs sometimes require. We offer lots of advice, but we can’t force anyone to take it. We know that independence is one of the reasons why people start startups in the first place. And we strongly believe that is also one of the reasons startups succeed.
Selection criteria
We are looking for awesome software startups.
Our sweet spot is for tech startups that focus on AI, fintech, SaaS, blockchain, or who solve complicated problems (deep-tech). Most of our portfolio companies come from the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Singapore, and Australia, but we occasionally work with companies outside of these key places.
What matters is:
- You are building a product or service that has software at its core.
- Your team members have tech industry experience.
It doesn’t matter:
- If you generate revenue.
- How many people work in your company or if it’s only you.
- Your location.
Please see additional stage-specific requirements for the Spark Program, Rise Program and the Fundraising Program.

The whole process from application to acceptance takes between 2-3 business days. We know speed is essential and some things can't wait.
