About Us
We are an impact startup studio launching and accelerating the next generation of world-changing startups.
What we do?
Powertrain Ventures is a startup studio helping early-stage startup founders launch and grow their businesses from an idea in their heads and into the real-world.
Through our acceleration program, we are able to support multiple founders at once and create and expand the entrepreneurial ecosystem globally.
We have extensive experience working with startup founders in Fintech, Proptech, Contech and life sciences including Health tech, Foodtech and Edtech.
However we are open to working with all impact startups with exponential growth potential.
