How we do it
Startup Valencia operates as a permanent platform that accelerates decision-making, reduces friction, and multiplies opportunities for founders. We are not a one-off program or a passive network. We are an active system that connects, positions, and supports tech startups and scaleups at every stage of their growth, from Valencia to the world’s leading global markets. Our impact is structured around three strategic pillars that operate in a complementary and continuous way.
Strategic business connections
We activate high-value connections between startups, investors, corporates, talent, institutions, and other ecosystems, both nationally and internationally. We don’t just facilitate generic networking; we foster result-oriented relationships that drive investment, commercial deals, talent acquisition, and strategic alliances with a real impact on project growth.
Visibility & international representation
We work to ensure that the startups and scaleups within our ecosystem are visible, relevant, and heard globally. Through VDS and our active participation in international networks and forums, we put founders on the radar of investors, corporates, and key decision-makers, representing their interests in the spaces where the future of tech entrepreneurship is defined.
Access to funding & scalability
We support startups throughout their growth journey with insight, structure, and a clear long-term vision. Through VDS, support programs, hands-on mentoring, and direct connections with leading experts, investors, and corporates, we work side by side with founders to mitigate risk, strengthen execution, and build competitive tech companies designed to scale.

Startup Valencia is neither a starting point nor a final destination. It is a living platform that supports founders throughout their entire journey, connecting opportunities, amplifying their voices, and helping them build tech companies with a global and lasting impact.
Our Ecosystem
Startups & Founders
At Startup Valencia, we support startups from their earliest stages (pre-seed and seed) by providing access to programs, community events, and a platform that centralizes the most critical monthly information: open calls, public grants, opportunities, and key ecosystem news.
For more advanced startups, we lead the Founders Club, an exclusive circle comprising the community's 20 most prominent scaleups. Through private gatherings, we facilitate high-level networking, strategic synergies, and a continuous exchange of knowledge and experience among founders.
Corporates & Innovation
We work with corporations that leverage open innovation as a strategic driver to transform their businesses. Through our Corporate Innovation Club, we bridge the gap between these companies and startups, talent, and tangible opportunities, providing access to qualified deal flow, visibility, and strategic connections within the ecosystem.
Furthermore, we collaborate with Supporters; service providers and key stakeholders essential to the startup world. Our primary value lies in activating and promoting their initiatives, integrating them into the entrepreneurial community, and keeping them connected to everything happening in Valencia’s tech scene through a single, monthly hub.
Investors & VCs
We promote the connection between startups and investors through VDS and initiatives designed to simplify and expand access to investment, such as Capital4Startups. This platform allows startups seeking funding to present their projects and maximize their opportunities to reach national and international funds and investors in a single click.
Our goal is to create a seamless meeting ground for groundbreaking projects and capital, enhancing startup visibility while fuelling investment activity across the tech ecosystem.
Talent Crew
We developed Next Talent Crew, a community designed for students and young professionals interested in entrepreneurship, technology, and innovation, who are at a key moment in defining their professional future.
Next Talent Crew is a space to learn, connect, and actively participate in the tech ecosystem: discover job opportunities at startups, attend events, access relevant content, and start building a professional network from the inside, as an active part of the Startup Valencia community.
In addition, Startup Valencia maintains a strong connection with the university ecosystem, collaborating with leading universities to connect young talent with the tech sector. Within this framework, we promote hackathons such as The Challenge, where students work on real business challenges and develop practical skills.
