Speezard

What Speezard does

Speezard is a 12-week incubator program based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, targeting early-stage Web3 and AI entrepreneurs. Founded in 2022, it operates as the structured commercialization arm of Comunidad Resiliente, leveraging a community of hundreds of crypto enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and builders committed to decentralization. The company is privately held and founder-owned by Lucas Valeggiani and Federico Lenci, who are also co-founders of Resiliente, with no disclosed external institutional investment.

The single product offering, Incubador Speezard, is delivered through a structured program featuring mentorship across development, legal, marketing, content, design, product, and business domains — all with a Web3 specialization — plus pitch days with jury feedback and direct introductions to angel investors and VCs. To date, 25 startups have graduated, 72 entrepreneurs have been mentored, and the program draws on a bench of 45 mentors and 35 developers within the ecosystem. The underlying technology is the program itself rather than a software platform; there is no proprietary product, app, or API.

The business model is community-led GTM: prospective founders apply via the website, complete an initial interview, and (presumably) pay a program fee characterized as subscription/recurring, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct via website application, supplemented by event-driven recruitment at major Latin American crypto gatherings (BITCONF, King of Devs, Ripio's Modular hackathon) and organic social channels (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Discord). Speezard has assembled an ecosystem of six partners — Ripio, Lacchain, Platzi, Think & Dev, InvestBA, and Emprear — spanning infrastructure, education, capital, and government support, which extend the program's reach without requiring internal scale-up.

Core offering

Speezard operates a 12-week incubator program for early-stage Web3 and AI startups. The program provides structured mentorship, community validation, pitch-day feedback from a specialized jury, and direct introductions to angel investors and venture capital firms. Founders apply online, complete an initial interview, and receive guidance across development, legal, marketing, content, design, product, and business disciplines with a Web3 focus.

Product overview

Speezard is a single service offering — a 12-week Web3 and AI startup incubator program — rather than a platform with multiple products or modules. The Incubador Speezard program provides comprehensive support including community validation, investor connections, and specialized mentorship across development, legal, marketing, design, and business domains with a focus on web3 and blockchain technology. No separate products, sub-products, or add-on modules are offered; the company functions exclusively as an incubator and community platform.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Founder Institute: Global pre-seed accelerator with active Buenos Aires chapter. Comparable in serving very early-stage founders, mentorship-driven model and LATAM footprint, though not specialized in Web3.
• Binance Labs: Global Web3 investment and incubation arm of Binance. Comparable in incubating and funding Web3 startups at early stage, but operates at vastly larger scale with a global mandate rather than LATAM focus.
• Techstars: Global accelerator running multiple Web3 and crypto-focused cohorts. Comparable cohort structure and mentor network but operates at significantly larger scale and across all major geographies.

Direct peers

• Alliance DAO: Web3-native accelerator offering cohort-based programs and investor introductions. Closely comparable to Speezard's pitch-day model and Web3 founder focus, though operating globally rather than regionally.
• Wayra (Telefónica): Telefónica's global startup accelerator with significant LATAM presence (including Argentina). Comparable in running cohort-based programs for early-stage founders, providing mentorship and corporate connectivity, though not Web3-specialized.
• NXTP Labs: Pan-LATAM early-stage tech accelerator headquartered in the region. Directly comparable to Speezard in target geography, cohort-based model and early-stage founder support, although focused on broader tech rather than exclusively Web3/AI.
• Outlier Ventures: London-based Web3-focused accelerator and early-stage fund. Directly comparable to Speezard's Web3 specialization, cohort model and emphasis on connecting founders with investors and mentors in the crypto ecosystem.

Regional players

• Garage Labs: Argentine-based tech accelerator and innovation hub. Comparable in geography and early-stage founder support focus, though oriented to broader tech rather than Web3/AI specifically.

Others

• Web3 Foundation Grants: Polkadot ecosystem's grant and builder-support program. Comparable as a Web3 founder-support mechanism connecting builders with funding and technical resources, but operates as a foundation program rather than a cohort-based incubator.
• Ripio: Leading LATAM cryptocurrency company and listed Speezard partner. Relevant as an adjacent ecosystem player running hackathons (e.g., Modular) that overlap with Speezard's builder community and Web3 founder pipeline.
