New Ventures

New Ventures (NV) is a platform with a mission to empower and catalyse social and environmental entrepreneurship that seeks to solve the world's most pressing problems through innovative business models. Since 2004, New Ventures has approached this mission through three main axes: Networking, Acceleration and Funding. Networking We make the connection between challenges and opportunities of the impact sector in Latin America in order to articulate the entrepreneurial ecosystem, encourage alliances and mobilise capital towards the region and the sector, always working with Strategic alliances. Acceleration Each year we directly support more than 400 entrepreneurs, representing 15 different nationalities within Latin America, and provide them with the necessary tools to achieve long-term sustainability. Each programme is designed to provide personalised support to address the greatest needs of the participating social entrepreneurs. Over the years, we have supported more than 1,000 social and environmental ventures in Mexico and Latin America. New Ventures was the first impact accelerator in Mexico. All programmes are co-created with an institutional partner that funds the programme. This allows entrepreneurs to participate in the programme without incurring any costs and without committing any equity in their company. Financing Through customised financing alternatives, we support exceptional social entrepreneurs who have succeeded in creating innovative, profitable and scalable business models to solve the most pressing environmental and social issues. We invest in the development of these companies at various stages through our New Ventures Capital fund and our financier VIWALA.
