Hybrid Applications closed

LAN V5 is in progress (October to November 2026) and applications are closed. LAN runs 2 programmes per year. The page gives no date for the next cohort.

LAN Accelerator runs a six-week acceleration programme for early-stage tech startups in Latin America, combining masterclasses, 1:1 mentoring, the LAN Brain team memory tool, and a Demo Day in Santiago de Chile. LAN takes equity through a SAFE at the startup's current valuation to cover the programme cost. The page says the top startups of the batch may receive cash investment through a SAFE at the cap of their own round.
