Startup México (SUM) is an entrepreneurship and innovation organisation headquartered in Mexico City, active across Mexico and Latin America. Its stated remit spans entrepreneurs, startups, SMEs, companies and public-sector initiatives, with services designed to convert ideas into viable businesses and to support organisational growth. The organisation reports that nearly 1,600 startups have graduated from its programmes.

Two named offerings structure its commercial activity. SUM Innovation is a programme aimed at encouraging digital transformation and building innovation cultures within client organisations. SUM Consulting provides personalised guidance on business-model assessment, financial projections and franchise opportunities. Alongside these, the organisation works across idea validation, business model development and franchise consulting.
