Decelera, the world’s first startup decelerator and an investment fund specializing in early-stage technology companies, has announced a total investment of €1.5 million in the first four high-potential startups that participated in this year’s Decelera Menorca program: HeyDiga, Flipflow, Matthew, and Ruit.
These investments reinforce Decelera’s commitment to identifying, supporting, and investing in technology companies capable of leading the transformation of their respective industries. With this initial investment package totaling €1.5 million, the fund reaffirms its confidence in the talent emerging from the program.
“These investments are a tangible demonstration of our model. We do not simply connect entrepreneurs with investors; we build long-term relationships and back teams that demonstrate vision, execution capabilities, and the potential to create global impact,” said Marcos Martín, CEO of Decelera.
Four Companies with the Potential to Transform Their Markets
HeyDiga is an artificial intelligence platform that automates customer interactions through phone calls, WhatsApp, and chat, enabling companies to serve customers, generate leads, and manage business opportunities 24/7 without human intervention.
Flipflow is an AI-powered B2B SaaS retail intelligence platform that consolidates complex data from multiple sources into a single real-time tool, enabling brands and retailers to make faster, more actionable decisions in pricing, digital shelf management, and retail media.
Matthew AI is an artificial intelligence platform for educational institutions that helps teachers create content, grade exams, and personalize learning for each student, reducing administrative workload and improving the educational experience.
Ruit is a B2B SaaS startup that provides an operating system for second-hand resellers, centralizing inventory, listings, and communications across multiple marketplaces while automating processes through AI to save time and increase sales.
From the Decelera Menorca Program to Investment
The four companies participated in the latest edition of Decelera Menorca alongside 10 other startups selected for this cohort. The international program brings together some of the most promising entrepreneurs in the technology ecosystem each year, along with investment funds, corporations, and leading industry experts.
Under the fund’s new high-conviction investment model, the announced investment represents only an initial package of transactions. The evaluation of the remaining participating companies remains ongoing, with the possibility of structuring additional investments over the coming weeks.
Unlike traditional accelerator models, Decelera adopts a people-centered approach focused on building strong relationships between founders and investors. This model enables a deeper understanding of each team’s potential and creates opportunities for high-conviction investments.
The announced investment highlights the program’s ability to serve as a source of qualified deal flow and as an effective platform for supporting startups from their earliest stages through growth and scale-up.
A Growing Portfolio
With these new investments, Decelera continues to strengthen its international portfolio of high-growth technology startups across sectors including artificial intelligence, enterprise software, digital health, fintech, mobility, and sustainability.
The investments in HeyDiga, Flipflow, Matthew, and Ruit add to Decelera’s investment activity over recent years, further consolidating its position as one of the most active players in identifying and supporting entrepreneurial talent across Europe.
Menorca as a Hub for Entrepreneurial Capital
The announced investments have also involved prominent participants from the national and international investment ecosystem, including Abac Capital, Mutua Madrileña, Lanai Partners, 100in Venture, Inclimo, Encomenda, BS Startup (Banco Sabadell), 4Founders Capital, Plus Partners, and Next Tier Ventures.
The presence of these funds and organizations during the Decelera Menorca program demonstrates the initiative’s ability to bring together entrepreneurial and investment talent in an environment designed to foster trust-based relationships and long-term growth opportunities.
Over the years, Decelera has established itself as a leading platform connecting high-potential startups with venture capital funds, facilitating investment processes that continue long after the program has concluded.
