Frequently asked questions
How does Metxa source deal flow?
Metxa sources startups through its own acceleration programs — primarily the Metxa Bootcamp — which serve as the firm's primary funnel. Entrepreneurs apply to the program, and the accelerator selects candidates to undergo its structured methodology. The firm does not appear to co-invest alongside external accelerators or accept direct applications outside its program structure.
Is Metxa structured as a venture firm or an accelerator?
Metxa operates as an accelerator with a dedicated investor group that provides capital to program graduates. While the firm makes equity investments, it is not structured as a traditional venture capital fund; instead, it bundles mentorship, a proprietary methodology, and a committed capital pool. This hybrid model bridges accelerator services and direct startup investment.
What is Metxa's geographic focus?
Metxa is based in Vitoria-Gasteiz and targets the Basque Country region of Spain, though it does not explicitly restrict applications by geography. As the self-described first accelerator located in Euskadi, its deal flow and mentor network are anchored in northern Spain. No additional offices or international expansion plans are disclosed.
