From a validated concept to a running operation.
an actionable roadmap, with two operating structures, to move from a validated concept to the first batch of startups.
The mandate
Turn a validated intuition, an accelerator specialized in digital mental health for Latin America, into a program with its own methodology, governance, economics and calendar, built on the Meaning Capital platform.
Context
Colectivo Aquí & Ahora saw a gap in the region: digital mental health startups without an acceleration program designed for them.
The idea was validated. What was missing was the operation: who does what, in what order, with which selection rules and how progress is measured.

The challenge
What needed to be solved.
Moving from concept to operation
A validated idea still needs a calendar, owners and selection rules to become a program.
Selecting with clear criteria
With hundreds of potential applications, selection had to be transparent, weighted and defensible before a committee.
Measuring what matters
A mental health program is measured in business terms and also in impact. Both needed indicators from the design stage.
How we did it
Step by step, with deliverables.
12-month cycle
We designed the full cycle, from strategic preparation to Demo Day and consolidation.
Selection funnel
We built a reference funnel from 500 applications to 12 to 20 selected startups.
Weighted matrix
We defined the criteria and their weights: team 30%, scalability 30%, innovation 20%, traction and impact 20%.
KPI system
We set the indicators for ecosystem, business, impact and closing.
Selection
Selection, in numbers.
The reference funnel and the weights of the matrix used to choose each batch.
Reference funnel
What we delivered
A program ready to decide on and run.
12-month roadmap
Five phases, from strategic preparation to Demo Day and consolidation.
Two operating structures
Alternatives with their costs, so the funder can decide with complete information.
Selection and measurement rules
Selection funnel, weighted matrix and KPIs for ecosystem, business, impact and closing.
Lessons
What we take away from this case.
Two structures, one informed decision
Presenting operating alternatives with their costs lets the funder decide with complete information.
Selection defines the program
A clear funnel and matrix keep the batch from depending on individual preferences.
