Decelera, the world’s first startup decelerator and an investment fund focused on 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 programme held at Decelera Menorca: HeyDiga, Flipflow, Mathew and Ruit.
The transactions reinforce Decelera’s commitment to identifying, supporting and investing in technology companies capable of leading transformation within their respective industries. With this initial package of investments, totalling €1.5 million, the fund reaffirms its confidence in the talent emerging from the programme.
“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 for 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, capture 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.
Mathew AI is an artificial intelligence platform for educational institutions that helps teachers create content, grade exams and personalise learning for each student, reducing administrative workloads and enhancing the educational experience.
Ruit is a B2B SaaS startup that provides an operating system for second-hand resellers, centralising inventory, listings and communications across multiple marketplaces while automating processes through AI to save time and increase sales.
From the Decelera Menorca Programme to Investment
The four companies took part in the latest edition of Decelera Menorca alongside the other ten startups selected for this year’s cohort. Each year, the international programme brings together some of the most promising entrepreneurs in the technology ecosystem alongside 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. Decelera continues to evaluate the remaining participating companies with a view to structuring additional investments in the coming weeks.
Unlike traditional accelerator models, Decelera adopts a people-first approach focused on building strong relationships between founders and investors. This model enables a deeper assessment of team potential and creates opportunities for high-conviction investments.
The announced investment highlights the programme’s ability to generate high-quality deal flow and to serve as an effective platform for supporting startups from their earliest stages through growth and scale-up.
A Growing Portfolio
With these new transactions, Decelera continues to strengthen its international portfolio of high-growth technology startups operating in sectors including artificial intelligence, enterprise software, digital health, fintech, mobility and sustainability.
The investments in HeyDiga, Flipflow, Mathew and Ruit build on Decelera’s investment activity over recent years, further consolidating its position as one of Europe’s most active players in identifying and supporting entrepreneurial talent.
Menorca as a Meeting Point for Entrepreneurial Capital
The announced investments have also involved leading players 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 organisations throughout the Decelera Menorca programme demonstrates the initiative’s ability to bring together entrepreneurial and investment talent in an environment specifically designed to foster trusted relationships and long-term growth opportunities.
Over the years, Decelera has established itself as a leading platform for connecting high-potential startups with venture capital funds, facilitating investment processes that continue long after the programme has concluded.
