Cube Ventures

Cube Ventures is a Bogota-based startup accelerator specializing in early-stage technology ventures within the Andean region including Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, operating at pre-seed and seed with checks below $250k. AI is a stated focus, and healthcare interest centers on digital health and healthcare software. The accelerator framing matters: Cube operates a program-plus-capital model rather than a pure investor, and engagement is best understood through that lens. The right founder for Cube is an Andean-region operator, often first-time founders, building a digital health, telehealth, healthcare AI, or healthcare software business with credible regional market wedge and a willingness to engage actively with the accelerator’s curriculum and mentor network. The wrong founder is a deep medtech or therapeutics team, a non-Andean founder using Bogota as a satellite, or a Series A-plus company looking for an institutional lead. Intro paths run through Bogota’s tight venture community including Polymath Ventures, Rockstart LatAm, the Endeavor Colombia network, and frequent co-investors including InQLab, the IDB Lab, and Ventura Capital. Lima and Quito-based angels and accelerators including UTEC Ventures and Lima Ventures are also relevant cross-border connectors. Direct application through Cube’s program cycles is the standard entry, supplemented by warm intros from prior cohort founders. In the pitch, lead with the founding team’s depth in Andean healthcare markets, the unit economics in COP, PEN, or USD as appropriate with realistic FX assumptions, and a credible regional expansion story since single-country Andean markets are often insufficient for Series A economics. Be specific about INVIMA, DIGEMID, ARCSA, and the relevant Ministry of Health postures across each market, and about the data and privacy law landscape including Colombia’s Ley 1581 and analogous Peruvian and Ecuadorian regulations. Show that you understand the dual-economy reality where private out-of-pocket health spending is concentrated in urban middle-class segments and the EPS-IPS structure dominates Colombian formal healthcare. Caveats include the standard accelerator dynamics: equity is taken at formation, follow-on commitment varies by vintage, and the downstream Series A syndicate active in the Andean region remains thinner than in Brazil or Mexico. For Andean healthcare founders, Cube is a credible early partner with regional curriculum and network depth.
