CaixaBank, through DayOne - its division specialized in technology companies and its investors - and the Encomenda investment fund, have allied themselves for the launch of the Startup Jump program, whose objective is to help startups with growth potential that are in an initial stage to find financing to grow and develop their projects.

Both entities will organize conferences in diverse Spanish cities where they will gather a selection of startups with a group of investors so they can present their ideas to the investment ecosystem.

The financial institution and the investment fund will select between six and nine startups in each territory from among all those that are submitted to the call, and will invite reference investors. Entrepreneurs will have six minutes to present their projects and capture the interest of the investment ecosystem.

The first session was held in Madrid, where six startups with nine venture capital funds have been brought together. Meetings will be organized over the next few months in Malaga, Valencia, Galicia, Bilbao, Barcelona, ​​Zaragoza, Tenerife and Mallorca.

In each meeting a successful entrepreneur will be invited, so that he can share his experience with the participants.

With the Startup Jump program, CaixaBank, DayOne, and Encomenta aim to boost the development of innovative companies that are in the early stages and seek to jump to the next phase thanks to the injection of new investment. In addition to talent, companies also need specific tools and support to help them consolidate their model.

CaixaBank and Encomenda recognize entrepreneurs as essential actors in the dynamization of the productive fabric, with a key role in the creation of employment and opportunities and with a great influence on social changes. This sector is capital for the economic and social development of any territory and its citizens.
