From its initial stages, Next Tier Ventures has demonstrated its unwavering commitment and strong ties to the Valencian tech and innovation ecosystem. Patricia Pastor and Rubén Colomer’s new venture has become a Supporter of Startup Valencia, actively participating in driving strategic projects aimed at improving the region’s competitiveness.
Next Tier Ventures is an emerging investment vehicle with a specific focus on startups specialising in Artificial Intelligence (AI). With a presence in both Valencia and Miami, the firm is poised to invest in Spanish startups, as well as those from Latin America and the United States. This dual presence will also serve to foster and strengthen the strategic business bridge between the two cities.
Furthermore, Next Tier Ventures boasts an exclusive club that provides its members — founders and professionals from the entrepreneurship, tech and investment ecosystems, spanning Valencia, Miami, Mexico City, Bogota, Buenos Aires, San Francisco, and New York — with valuable benefits. These include access to a curated portfolio, business travel opportunities, and a powerful global network of investors and advisors.
As Juan Luis Hortelano points out, the addition of Next Tier Ventures as a Supporter of Startup Valencia is “great news for all the stakeholders in the Valencian tech and innovation entrepreneurship sector, as it will attract talent and international investment to the region”.
Patricia Pastor also emphasises that this collaboration is a natural progression for any entity aiming to be part of and support the Valencian ecosystem. She points out that “Startup Valencia serves as a vital pillar in positioning it as an international benchmark; the association’s strategic initiatives over the past six years, including projects such as VDS, have been instrumental in assessing the evolution of our ecosystem and its global visibility”.
