Mexico
GALI, ANDE's Central America & Mexico chapter, and Citibanamex have partnered to do a deep dive on entrepreneurship and acceleration in Mexico.
Through this partnership, GALI has collected data from more than 800 early-stage Mexican ventures and partnered with over a dozen accelerator programs in Mexico.
Download the first publication below to learn about the ventures applying to acceleration programs, or explore our accelerator directory to see a list of accelerators headquartered in Mexico, as well as those operating in Latin America & the Caribbean.
Initial insights about entrepreneurship and acceleration in Mexico:
- Mexican ventures that applied to accelerator programs were primarily early stage, for-profit ventures. Most ventures had not earned revenue in the previous year, and had not raised investment capital.
- Mexican ventures most often ranked the development of their network and access to mentors as the most important benefit accelerators provide.
- Ventures led by women were four times less likely to have raised equity, prior to applying to an accelerator program, than ventures with all-male teams.
