With an innovative and disruptive vision and an agile, flexible and dynamic way of working, startups have become a business model to follow. It’s already been observed by large corporations in order to inspire and adopt some of the elements that distinguish these emerging companies that not only manage to attract talent, but present themselves as revolutionary in the world of entrepreneurship.
In Spain there are already more than 3,000 startups underway, according to data from Startupxplore, and the figure seems like it will only continue growing in the coming years. This is highlighted by an article published in ‘The Responses of Tomorrow’, which analyzes the impact and evolution that this type of emerging companies will have in the future. And it is coming at a time when innovation and technological development are transforming the labor market, where more and more professionals are venturing to take the leap towards entrepreneurship, creating business models that seek not only to respond to the new needs that arise due to the digital era, but also to anticipate trends, covering services that did not exist.
The creation and launch of startups is consolidated as well as an alternative professional future, which are also serving as a reference for the change that large organizations need to make in order to overcome the challenges posed by the digital transformation of their businesses.
In fact, a few months ago, the Venture Capital Academy was born, a “pioneering program in Spain – the fruit of a collaboration between Startup University, Berkeley University and ICADE Business School – which is aimed at business angels, private investors, innovation directors, directors of corporate investment funds and mercantilist lawyers who want to improve their abilities to negotiate investments in startups, and that has been imported from Silicon Valley,” explains Ángel Samartino, director of Startup University Ventures.
But although the beginnings of a startup seems, to this day, a relatively fast process, its maintenance in the long term requires constant networking. This was how, in the framework of the Venture Capital Academy, the first edition of Startup Premiere was held: a gala organized by Startup University in collaboration with ICADE Business School, on the Google campus in Madrid, which sought to give prominence to “the most promising entrepreneurial initiatives on the national scene”, according to ‘The Responses of Tomorrow’.
In this sense, during the day, recognized the work of five successful startups – Geoblink, Oarsis, Fintonic, B4Motion and Zeleros – and, Meinrad Spenger, founder of MásMóvil, exposed what are the necessary pillars to start a successful career.
