What our Founders are Saying About us

Aurelia Ventures has been instrumental in helping us get the resources and tools we need to meet the demand and needs of our business. The team at Aurelia has been extremely responsive and insightful in helping us get what we need at critical times to keep the company moving forward.

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 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 excellent discounts! Thanks to Felix and the team for being so responsive and fun to work with

Ex-Gov and MIT 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.

Aurelia Ventures helped us in one of the most crucial moments of our startup development. Their personal support, consulting, and fast and efficient work make them unique. 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.

Selection Criteria

Our sweet spot is for early-stage B2B software founder teams based in the US.

What matters

  • You are building a B2B SaaS product or service.
  • Your team members have tech industry experience.
  • Your 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 you.

Requirements

We prioritize quality over quantity - at all times. From all applications, we select at most 2 founding teams per month to work with us, sometimes none. 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 decide to accept a founder team into our program, we commit fully to that company and make all of 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 minimum of once a month and much more often during more intense periods (such as pre-fundraising).
