I’ve known the LinktoStart programme for more than 3 years thanks to Sonia Mulero, and I couldn’t be a bigger supporter of it. Few programmes devote themselves to entrepreneurs like this one does, so that their ideas take shape and see the light of day, or rather reach the market, with a high degree of maturity and a good chance of success.
The programme has evolved and now also includes LinktoGrowth, to finish consolidating the projects and help them in their search for funding. The team has also been strengthened by the arrival of Guillermo Marqueta, another star like Sonia, as well as the great team of mentors they bring in.
In 2011 I also took part with AJE Madrid, and we gave an award to Lacambra, which moved into garAJE.
Read the terms carefully, because it’s worth it; I know that from all the companies I’ve seen go through the programme. Here’s the information from their website:
Are you an entrepreneur? Would you like to create an ICT company, a startup such as an online shop, a portal, a mobile app or a software tool? Do you have a good idea but lack the tools to make it happen?
The Fundación Inlea presents linktoStart, a training and support programme for people who want to develop their business online. linktoStart helps you turn your ideas into a viable business so that you can launch your startup (a technology-based company) with confidence. Registration is now open until 31 December. Click on this link for more details and to sign up.
This year we’re launching the sixth annual edition of the programme, and many entrepreneurs have made the most of it: Hitsbook, Intelliment, Nidmi, etc.
The programme lasts eleven months, is aimed at entrepreneurs from anywhere in Spain and is structured in four successive stages. Each of them covers a specific phase of creating the business. You’ll learn how to analyse and define your business model using lean startup techniques, how to find a way to win your first paying customers and how to set KPIs for seeking investment, among other things.
At the end of each stage, a panel of specialists assesses the project’s progress and decides whether the team can move on to the next phase. So you’ll start by “cooking up your own idea” and end up leading a consolidated, competitive startup. Teaching is delivered through webinars (online sessions) and several campuses in Barcelona (face-to-face sessions), depending on the project’s stage.
This programme, which was born as a private initiative of the Fundación Inlea, has many advantages: it guides you with mentors matched to the characteristics of your project and puts specialists in financial management, communication strategy and technology, among other areas, at your disposal.
Don’t miss this opportunity!
