The Startup Academy | The Startup Academy

The Startup Academy is an initiative to share our expertise to encourage entrepreneurs at the startup ecosystem

Until then, training in finance for startups was minimal, so we decided to share all our knowledge with the ecosystem.

We have worked with +200 startups in +20 countries, managing different day-to-day issues in each of them. This knowledge has allowed us to train our students from a practical point of view and focused on analyzing real cases

What our students value most when learning with us

Community

"Startups are very particular businesses and immersed in extreme uncertainty. For this reason, a large part of the financial knowledge in regular companies is not useful for analysing startups, and therefore needs to learn a new language to understand them. I had to go through this transition when I moved from consulting to startups, and so did hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors, people entering the sector...

For this reason, and after having worked with more than 100 startups, we thought we could provide a course that would bring together this much-needed knowledge for the ecosystem"

Jaime Medina

CEO at The Startup CFO

"In the last few years, knowledge transfer and training are changing radically, especially because of specialisation and online education. Universities or business schools often do not cover new business models extensively, but are lagging behind.

On the other hand, in online schools it is easy that the community does not contribute as much because there are profiles with too different objectives. We believe that with this course we can provide high quality knowledge about cutting-edge startups while maintaining a very high level in our community, as our students from past editions have already confirmed"

Director of Strategic Finance at Gelato

The cornerstone of The Startup Academy. We have created a community of professionals who, in addition to learning during the course, add value and generate networking in the ecosystem. Beyond giving courses, we want to create this community in which synergies are generated between the different players in the ecosystem.

Talks at The Startup Academy

Our talks are already a recognized added value in the ecosystem. We have the privilege of chatting with professionals of the ecosystem who tell us about their experience, from their beginnings, often failing, until today as entrepreneurs and successful professionals of companies like Glovo, Cobee, Boopos, Nauta Capital, Capchase, Kibo Venture, Graphext or Merama among others.

How have our students experienced it?

Who better than them to tell the experience. At The Startup Academy we work to continue providing value to our students both in knowledge and in the personal and work experience they live with us.
