Thanks to Felix and the team for being so responsive and fun to work with.

Our Requirements on You

Earliest B2B software companies in the US.

What matters

  • There are at least two founders (one of them is technical).
  • You are serious about fundraising and not just testing the waters.
  • You want to fundraise now and close this raise as fast as possible.
  • You are building a B2B software solution.
  • The founding team has previously worked in your industry.
  • 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.

What you get From us

Small batch cohort (max 5 startups) and dedicated 1:1 strategy sessions with the Managing Partner of Aurelia Ventures.

A dedicated team that introduces you to our warm network of 350+ VCs.

Relevant, proven, and actionable knowledge of how you actually fundraise and close a round based on 6+ years of experience as a VC and 160+ portfolio companies.

Apply the same negotiation tactics that are taught at Harvard Business School to your fundraise and get the best terms.

$1.75M+ in perks and benefits; including $650k in cloud credits from GCP, Azure, AWS, Digital Ocean and others.

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 each cohort and basically not creating any value at all.

Program Structure

Throughout the entire program duration, you will have weekly 1:1 strategy sessions with a Managing Partner to discuss your personal fundraising situation and get the most out of the program.

2 months, small cohort (max 5 startups per cohort) program:

  • Week 1: Kick-off and high-level fundraising strategy. What has changed from 2025 (and earlier years) and what founders need to know to be successful.
  • Week 2: Think like a VC to raise from a VC. What terms matter, how does great look like.
  • Week 3: Positioning, when does a startup makes "sense" for a VC to invest, and valuations
  • Week 4: Dry-run presentations and finalization of documenation
  • Week 5-8: Investor introductions, fast iterations on material, and full focus on fundraise. Now it's execution time and you need to execute on what you learned.

Program Terms

Program fee: 2% equity.

Seats are allocated on a rolling basis and at a first come first serve basis. If all 5 seats for this cohort are confirmed, you are able to defer your seat to the next cohort in 2 months.
