Ex-Google & ex-Uber founding team

Aurelia Ventures was the first B2B startup accelerator we had the opportunity to work with, which truly allowed us to get on our feet with the foundational tools, operational support, and technologies required for a software startup. Thanks to Felix and the team for being so responsive and fun to work with.

Ex-Gov and PhD in ML founding team

Aurelia Ventures and their very personal, hands-on approach to supporting startups is really unique. They were super responsive and there for us whenever we needed them and helped us with the right advice, mentors, cloud credits, and discounts at the right time.

Being part of Aurelia Ventures has helped us to make significant progress. The support and experience of the Aurelia Ventures team have been extremely beneficial in our development.

Being a startup, we wanted to partner up with a startup program that could help us dial further into our efforts. Partnering with Aurelia Ventures provides you with secure, community-based resources for all things required to build a company from the ground up. Felix was a helpful, intelligent, and thoughtful mentor who could provide such insight and guidance.

They supported us in every aspect: advice, mentors, or cloud credits. Felix, the founder of Aurelia Ventures, is a genuinely awesome person who is willing to help anytime in need.

Your Path to Seed

Each program is fully personalized to the founder's stages, needs, and unique development plan.

Growth to the Next Stage

Fundraising
Usually, our founders raise capital at some point in time. This can be an Angel, Pre-Seed, or Seed round. Each round is inherently different from the previous ones and requires a different strategy and preparation.

We guide you through the entire process, show you what matters in each round, and make sure you have all the resources available and the latest insights to master your round.
Investment
We invest in your round and/or introduce you to our network of 250+ B2B SaaS VCs and angels. Our goal is to provide you with fast and easy access to capital to fuel your growth.

Selection Criteria

Earliest B2B software companies in the US.

What matters

  • There are at least two founders (one of them is technical).
  • You are building a B2B SaaS product.
  • The founding team has expertise in the chosen vertical.
  • The founding team and the primary customers are based in the US.

What doesn't matter

  • If your company is incorporated or if you are just getting started.
  • If your product is live or in stealth.
  • If you generate revenue.
  • How many people work in your company, or if it is only the founding team.

Requirements

We accept 1 founding team per month into the program, sometimes none.

We prioritize the quality of interaction with each founder over the quantity of startups we work with.

The quality of the interactions with our portfolio founders and the quality of our community matters much more to us than "accelerating" a large number of companies every month and basically not creating any value at all.

When we accept a founder team into our program, we commit fully to that company and make all our resources available to the founders for their company's lifetime. We want you to win, period.

Each founding team gets personalized support from our team and extended network and has access to our operational resources and partnership benefits from the first moment on. When you are scaling your company, we know that time is precious. Usually, we meet with each team at least once a month and much more often during more intense periods (such as during a fundraise).
