The Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO) hosts in its Exhibition Hall the ‘Conferences for Entrepreneurship and project mentoring’ of the Fundación Innovación y Desarrollo (Innovation and Development Foundation , FIDBAN) in collaboration with the organisation of the second talk of Node Hub by Startups.st Group, ‘How to get funding for your tech startup’, held on March 27th.
This talk served to provide entrepreneurs with key tools in the search for funding for their tech startups. Together with the Torrelavega Chamber of Commerce, Kai Capital and Startup.st, the session brought together experts from the investment ecosystem and entrepreneurs in a space for learning and networking.
As a central axis of the event, a round table was held, in which the director of FIDBAN, Diego Lainz, participated by providing some relevant data, in relation to the situation of the entrepreneurial and investor ecosystem in Latin America, from the experience of FIDBAN, thanks to its extensive international network of the Ibero-American University Foundation (FUNIBER) in the region. On the other hand, the topics covered included an in-depth analysis of the investment ecosystem and the different financing vehicles available for technology startups.
During the event, participants addressed key issues such as the most appropriate financing options for startups at different stages of development, what investors are looking for in a project, and how to structure an attractive presentation. They also shared strategies for negotiating with business angels, venture capital funds and other financial agents. In this regard, it is worth highlighting the role of FIDBAN as a facilitator in the connection between startups and investors.
After the round table, attendees participated in a master class, a practical dynamic in which they were able to refine their strategies and perfect their presentations to investment agents. Through the exchange of experiences and direct feedback from experts, the entrepreneurs acquired specific tools to improve their value proposition and their ability to attract capital.
This event is part of the Node Hub programme, the deep tech startup incubator promoted by Startups.st Group, which aims to accelerate the growth of innovative companies through training, mentoring and connection with the business and financial ecosystem.
Node Hub ‘s series of talks and workshops will continue in the coming weeks with new sessions focused on the challenges and opportunities of tech entrepreneurship.
