Orion Startups

Orion Startups operates an accelerator and micro-venture capital programme for early-stage technology companies from Chihuahua, Mexico. Its core offering, the Startup Accelerator Program, pairs development support with a stated investment of $30,000 USD in exchange for 10% equity - a pre-seed arrangement in which the consideration combines cash and acceleration services rather than capital alone. Participating teams also receive free office space at the Orion Technology Park.

The programme's stated objective is to move teams from early concepts towards companies positioned to raise subsequent capital. Support is organised around a structured methodology covering idea validation, product development and talent acquisition, with introductions to mentors, investors, potential partners and hires. Its network comprises founders, scholars, alumni and other ecosystem participants.

Sector coverage is concentrated in artificial intelligence, software, biotechnology and the Internet of Things (IoT), consistent with the technology-based teams the programme is designed to attract.
