Building a company is not luck.
It's knowing what your next step is.

Madrid Ventures is a private Spanish network where founders find co-founders and customers, and projects that prove their progress with data become visible to investors. Access to investors is not for sale: it depends on the FounderSeal, a score with public rules. From 40 points a project enters the dealflow (Seed tier), and from 60 the Growth tier, which requires verified evidence. Since 2026 we also publish a new startup idea every day (Ideas MV) for anyone who wants to start something and does not have a project yet.

The FounderSeal is a 0-100 score that sums up how complete your project is, how consistently you update your figures and the verified evidence of your progress. It is calculated automatically from each project’s own data, across three blocks: fundamentals (a complete project and its Cockpit), consistency (weeks with your figures up to date) and verified evidence (a ladder of a hundred audited rungs backed by proof: the demo, a signed pilot, an independent validation, traction, a patent, a public grant…). They are split into ten families — there is a product, someone uses it, someone pays, technical validation, regulatory validation… — and each family adds up to a cap, so filling the block requires proof from several different families rather than a hundred of the same kind. No rung assumes a business model, so a B2B with a single customer and an R&D company with no revenue each have their own route to the same bar. The dealflow our investors receive has two tiers, and both come marked: 🌱 Seed from 40 points, which is exactly the ceiling of what a founder can declare on their own — so there may be no audited evidence yet — and 📈 Growth from 60, where every point above 40 comes from audited evidence. It is calculated by code with public rules, not by a committee, and anyone can look at the breakdown of every point. It does not certify that a business is viable and it is not an investment recommendation.

Every piece of evidence starts as pending and adds no points until it has been checked. The day after you submit it, an AI reviews it together with the data the platform already has on the project, such as your Stripe or RevenueCat figures if you have connected them. If the evidence is enough, it is approved. If information is missing, we tell you what to add and it is reviewed again once you complete it. If there are signs of manipulation, a person on the team reviews it. And approved evidence is withdrawn if it turns out to be false.

Getting started is free forever: you publish a project, you get your Viability Review, you have the FounderSeal and months of runway, and you send one piece of evidence a month for verification. Fundador Pro costs €19/month or €190/year (you save €38 compared with paying monthly) and covers the whole project: it includes up to five people on the team, and your partners work with you without paying another membership. The Investor membership costs €79/month or €699/year (you save €249). There is no lock-in: cancel whenever you like from your own panel. 15% of every membership feeds the MV Fund.

You choose when you create the project: 🔒 Private (only you and your team), 👥 Investors only (network investors, from the Seed band) or 🌐 Public. If you choose 🌐, what you write on your page (name, sector, description and the sections you do not hide) is public. Your round, your deck, your data room and your figures are not: your team and the investors who receive your project see the round, the data room goes by levels you decide, and only you see your personal figures. The AI works with your project to answer you, does not train on your data, and you keep ownership of what you publish. The details are at madrid.ventures/en/tu-idea.

No. 0% commission on whatever is invested or raised, always. Memberships are our only revenue. The deal is negotiated and signed directly between founder and investor, off the platform: we do not intermediate and we do not hold funds.

When you publish a project, a Madrid Ventures AI model analyses it with the judgement of a generalist investing partner and, in under 48 hours, sends you a written review: what convinces, what is missing and how to improve it. It is included from the free plan. Projects flagged as exceptional get contacted personally by the team.

You keep using the network: co-founders, partners, first verified customers in the MV Market, the financial Cockpit and the Viability Review. The bar is not a door that closes, it is a thermometer: the FounderSeal recalculates itself with every piece of data you update and tells you exactly what you are missing. And part of the FounderSeal measures that the project is still alive: consistency adds 2 points for each week with your cash figures up to date, within a 10-week window, so it climbs while you work and drifts down slowly if you stop. What you have already proven with audited evidence does not expire: proven is proven.

Every day we publish a startup idea with a full dossier: problem, solution, market, business model, defensible advantage and the team roles it needs. With Fundador Pro you can reserve one exclusively for 45 days, which opens up the 90-day roadmap, the map of first customers and the risks; you build a team inside the network (minimum 3 members) and you claim it, and at that point it becomes an ordinary project on the platform. What you reserve is the dossier, exclusivity inside the network and the support: ideas are not transferable property.

No. Madrid Ventures is a contacts and visibility network, not a crowdfunding platform (PFP under Spanish law) nor an investment services firm. We do not intermediate payments or investments, we do not hold funds, we do not provide financial advice and we charge no success fee. Any investment agreement is negotiated and formalised directly between founder and investor, off the platform. The FounderSeal is informational and never constitutes an investment recommendation.
