Senior Leader Accelerator Program

SE Ventures is a $1B+ venture capital platform backed by Schneider Electric, investing globally in category-defining companies across Energy Intelligence, Industrial Intelligence, and Enterprise AI.

Beyond capital, SE Ventures brings a differentiated model: combining venture investing with direct access to Schneider Electric's global customer ecosystem, deep domain expertise, and operational capabilities.

This enables startups to accelerate commercialization-not just build products.

About the Accelerator Platform

The SE Ventures Accelerator is a highly selective, founder-first program designed to help exceptional pre-seed startups reach product-market fit and early commercial traction.

Unlike traditional, curriculum-driven accelerators, our model is:


* Bespoke and execution-focused: each company follows a tailored path based on its specific barriers to product-market fit


* Enterprise-backed: startups engage directly with Schneider Electric and AVEVA stakeholders to validate real-world use cases


* Commercially driven: emphasis on pilots, customer engagements, and revenue pathways-not just mentorship


* Selective by design: small cohorts to maximize depth of support and outcomes

Over a 12-week program, founders receive capital, expert mentorship, and structured access to a global ecosystem of customers, partners, and investors to accelerate their journey to product-market fit.
