Acceleration in Mexico
Early Impacts on Mexican Ventures
May 2018
With the support of Citibanamex Compromiso Social, GALI is working to increase understanding of acceleration and early-stage ventures in Mexico. This report includes application and follow-up information from 318 ventures operating in Mexico, contributed by 15 accelerator programs.
Data at a Glance:
- Ventures that participated in accelerator programs experienced greater growth in revenues, full-time employees, equity, and debt on average compared to rejected ventures.
- The majority of ventures reported no equity or debt growth at all, suggesting that a small number of strong performers are drawing up the average changes in equity and debt.
- The impact of participation is meaningful for ventures with no prior-year investment; participating ventures increased equity three times more than rejected ventures, and debt five times more.
- First-time accelerated ventures reported higher average revenue growth, while ventures that had been previously accelerated reported greater equity growth.
- Invention-based ventures reported greater average equity growth, while non-invention-based reported higher revenue growth.
