About Venture Connect Network

Venture Connect Network is a Mexico-based platform dedicated to connecting early-stage and growth-stage startups with global capital, strategic partners, and international ecosystems. We exist because great ideas deserve great opportunities — regardless of geography.

Founded on the belief that the next generation of world-changing companies will emerge from Latin America, Asia, and beyond, we have spent over five years building the infrastructure for cross-border innovation. From our flagship Venture Connect Summit in Mexico City to our bilateral acceleration programs between Mexico and Japan (powered by JICA), every initiative is designed to create real, measurable impact for founders.

We serve early-stage entrepreneurs seeking their first institutional round, as well as seasoned founders navigating Series A and beyond. Our programs are especially focused on high-impact sectors: Agri-Food Tech, Green & Clean Tech, Smart Industry & Logistics, and Well-Being & Experience.

The platform is built and operated by a passionate team of venture builders, ecosystem strategists, and community leaders who have walked the entrepreneurial path themselves. We partner with governments, development organizations like JICA, leading universities, and private funds to ensure that every founder who joins our network gains access to the resources they need to grow.

With over 3,000 event attendees, 150+ startups accelerated, and 100+ investors and funds engaged, Venture Connect Network is one of the most active startup-investor bridges in the Mexico–LATAM–Japan corridor.
