Is a year-long program designed to support Latin American founders through an active community, learning sessions, light mentorship, access to experts, and meaningful connections with investors and high-level entrepreneurs. It is not an accelerator. It’s a continuous space for growth, support, and real networking over 12 months.

The membership is focused on the founder, not just the startup. It’s flexible, non-intensive, has no strict deadlines, and adapts to your pace. The Volcano Accelerator, on the other hand, is a structured, time-bound program designed for startups with traction that are ready to scale or raise capital.

Founders who are in any of the following situations: • Building an MVP or validating an idea • Have launched a product and want to grow with more structure • Want to prepare for fundraising in the future • Are looking for community, light mentorship, and ongoing support • Want to grow as leaders — not just operators It doesn’t matter if you’re already part of other communities. If you’re looking to raise your level, this is the place.

• Monthly sessions with experts and operators • An active online community with founders from across LATAM • AMAs and spaces to share real challenges • Priority access to Volcano Roadshow activities • Founder-focused materials, resources, and guides • Preferred invitations to Volcano Summit activities • Fast-track access to Acceleration programs and Startup Avenue initiatives
