What is Incipio Ventures?
Incipio Ventures is a group founded in 2017 with a hybrid business model: on one hand, it is a Venture Builder that creates digital startups; on the other hand, it is an investment group that supports promising startups through capital and Smart money; and furthermore, it is a Multi-Family Office that manages family assets to grow the capital of its partners. All of this consolidates an ecosystem of both traditional companies and digital startups.
What is a Venture Builder?
A Venture Builder is an emerging company factory that typically adapts ideas or proven business models from other markets and seeks to replicate them in new markets.

That is why the Changer ADN 2021 Program was created, a program of paid internships, training, and professional development where participants compete for a job offer and the opportunity to have an international experience in Canada.
At INCIPIO Ventures, we have improved the Changer Program to adapt it to the current era. We know that we are now more connected than ever.
