Venture Builder, from Mexico to the world
We look for founders who areAI-native
Founders are our heroes. Our job is to make them win.
What do we build?
Almost every industry is about to be reimagined from scratch with artificial intelligence, and there has never been a better time to found disruptive companies: startups grow faster than ever with less capital, teams of three with the right stack do what used to take thirty, and the billion-dollar company run by a single person is already a reality. AI does not replace the founder — it multiplies what they can achieve.
Fundadores.net is a venture builder. As an incubator, we design business models for problems that are better solved with AI, recruit high-potential founders and accelerate their path to success. We act as their cofounders, with a shared stack of business leadership and technology, and as a fund we invest the pre-seed round and write the first check of the seed round.
Together we will co-found companies of the highest impact: focused on real problems — health, money, work, education, time, etc. —; AI-native, built from the ground up with AI; mass consumer, speaking directly to the end user; and built to travel: born for Mexico, with LATAM and the U.S. Hispanic market in sight where applicable.
Who do we look for?
Founders who are strong across three planes: as leaders of themselves, of their company and of others.
