Iterative
Accelerator
Iterative runs a twice-yearly accelerator program that invests US$150K to US$500K in startups for roughly 10-15% of the company, investing the full amount upon admission. It works closely with founders on their idea over a 3-month batch, ending with a Demo Day to help them raise a larger round.

Your fit with Iterative
Four questions about your startup
See how your round matches what it backs, point by point.
Or find every investor that fitsIterative lists 147 checked portfolio companies on its own site and is named in 6 funding rounds, 1 of them as lead. Its most frequent entry is Seed, 100% of the companies with a known first round. Its largest themes are Fintech (19%), AI & Machine Learning (14%) and Healthcare & Biotech (12%). It invests most often alongside Y Combinator, Antler and Orvel.
Counts come from funding rounds that name Iterative, complete from mid-2025: earlier rounds appear only when they were reported later. Round amounts and full round histories are on Fundup AI.
Round figures show recent activity, not Iterative's whole history. Rounds on record name 6 companies; its own site lists 147. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
