“Many of these entrepreneurs bring great ideas and great models to the table, yet are inhibited by their lack of knowledge on the finance side,” said Co-Founder Bullrich. “What we offer at TheVentureCity is not only strategic support on the tech side, but we help set them up for long-term financial success, ensuring their vision becomes reality.”
Further distinguishing the ecosystem accelerator is its data-driven selection criteria. To be considered for either their 36-month incubator or 18-month accelerator program, startups must demonstrate at least a six-month track record and solid numbers on growth and engagement metrics that show strides they’re making to merit collaboration. Together with their founders, TheVentureCity builds on that foundation of solid data to help them make the best business decisions to achieve long-term growth.
TheVentureCity is already working closely with the following bold startups; Stayfilm, Seemba, Boatsetter, Playground, Soundtrack Your Brand, Above & Beyond, Emprego Ligado, Returnly, The Fastmind, RecargaPay, Woom Fertility, Hogaru, Miora, Pixlee and 1Doc3.
Extending their mission beyond the boardroom, TheVentureCity boasts strong partnerships with key entities including Miami Dade College, The Beacon Council, Venture Café, Radical Partners, Startup Bootcamp, Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC), Greenberg Traurig LLP and Facebook on the local level as well as Universidad Politecnica Madrid, Perez-Llorca Law, Sentry, Segment, Comunidad de Madrid-Spain and Gunderson Dettemer in an effort to accelerate tech adoption and startup support in every layer of the community.
