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.
