BStartup

BStartup is the dedicated venture capital arm of Banco Sabadell, a prominent Spanish financial institution. Established with the core mission of fostering innovation and supporting the entrepreneurial ecosystem, BStartup provides not only financial capital but also a comprehensive suite of banking services and strategic guidance to both early-stage and growth-phase companies. Its primary objective is to empower startups to scale their projects with robust financial backing and leverage the extensive network of a major bank.

The firm operates through distinct programs tailored to different stages of startup development. Its BStartup10 initiative focuses on very early-stage ventures, typically investing a first cheque of approximately $108,000 (€100,000) in highly innovative and scalable projects. This program often emphasizes mentorship and initial market validation. For more mature companies seeking to accelerate their growth, BStartup offers its BStartup Growth initiative, which participates in larger funding rounds, typically ranging from $270,000 (€250,000) up to $2,160,000 (€2,000,000).

Beyond direct investment, BStartup leverages Banco Sabadell's resources to provide significant added value. This includes access to specialized banking products, corporate networking opportunities, and the potential for strategic partnerships within the bank's vast client base. Since its inception in 2013, BStartup has demonstrated a strong commitment to the startup community, having invested in over 400 startups and deployed more than $378 million (€350 million) in total capital. This extensive track record underscores its role as a significant player in the European, particularly Spanish, venture capital landscape, supporting a diverse portfolio across various technology sectors.
