• Founder Institute ColombiaminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2026Guillermo Guzman of AIDA Ventures served as a Local Director supporting the Latam Founder Institute's 2026 pre-seed accelerator program. The program produced 11 new technology companies across diverse sectors including sustainable food production, clean energy, agriculture technology, AI-powered sales automation, and crowdfunding. The mentorship and selection process involved regional startup experts and investors.

Direct peers

• Antler: Global early-stage venture builder that recruits founders, provides pre-seed capital, and helps build companies from scratch — a model structurally identical to AIDA's stated 'venture builder' positioning, with active LATAM presence.
• NXTP Labs: One of the most established LATAM-focused early-stage venture builders and pre-seed funds, operating accelerator-style programs across the region and competing for the same founder pool AIDA targets.
• Magma Partners: LATAM-focused early-stage venture fund that combines capital with hands-on founder support, serving the same pre-seed/seed segment AIDA addresses in the same geography.
• Socialatom Group: LATAM-focused venture builder that operates startup studio and accelerator programs across the region, directly comparable in model and geography to AIDA Ventures.

Broad incumbents

• 500 Global (formerly 500 Startups): Global accelerator and seed fund with one of the deepest LATAM footprints; operates cohort programs and provides pre-seed/seed capital to founders across the region.
• Founder Institute: Global pre-seed accelerator and venture builder operating multiple regional programs, including the LATAM cohort where AIDA's Local Director served. Founder Institute is both a direct platform peer and the parent program of AIDA's documented affiliation.
• Techstars: Global accelerator network with mentorship-driven programs for early-stage founders, offering a comparable accelerator-plus-capital model to AIDA's stated approach.
• Endeavor: LATAM-originated global entrepreneur support organization that selects and scales high-impact founders, providing mentorship and networks — adjacent to but broader than AIDA's venture builder focus.
• Wayra (Telefónica): Corporate-backed LATAM and global accelerator providing capital, mentorship, and Telefónica distribution to early-stage tech founders — directly overlapping with AIDA's geographic and stage focus.

Regional players

• Start-Up Chile (CORFO): Chilean government-backed equity-free accelerator that attracts international founders to build in Chile — a regional alternative for the same LATAM founder pool, but funded by public capital.
