You will find projects in two tiers, calculated by the platform with public rules: 🌱 Seed from 40 points — a complete profile and cash figures updated every week — and 📈 Growth from 60, where self-declared points no longer get you in and every point comes from audited evidence. Each profile shows what the team has proven and what is still to be checked. Direct contact with the founders and 0% commission on what you invest.
Not a committee and not a contact list. Public rules applied by code, the same for everyone, that cannot be talked round on a good call.
If a team stops updating its figures, that part of its score goes down: 2 points for every week without doing so. A project with only self-declared points can drop out of the dealflow that way; what has been proven with evidence does not expire.
You write to the founder from their project, with no intermediaries and without anyone taking a percentage for the introduction.
For each project you see the FounderSeal with its breakdown, the verified rungs with their evidence, the documented traction and what they are looking for. The deck comes last, not first.
Madrid Ventures does not take part in the transaction, does not hold funds and takes no commission. You negotiate and sign directly between yourselves.
The MV Fund co-invests each quarter in the eligible project with the highest FounderSeal, on the same terms as the rest of the round. It does not alter yours.
The ones above 40 FounderSeal points out of 100, calculated automatically from three blocks: the project’s fundamentals, weekly consistency in its finances, and a ladder of rungs with audited evidence. And they arrive in TWO TIERS, marked on every card. 🌱 Seed is 40-59: exactly what a founder can declare on their own — complete profile and an up-to-date Cockpit — so they may not have verified evidence yet; you see them early, and the rung breakdown is right there to show what has actually been proven. 📈 Growth is 60 or above, and there self-declared points no longer get you in: every point past 40 comes from audited evidence. Nobody pays to appear and nobody gets in by knowing someone.
No. 0% on what you invest and 0% on what the founder raises, always. Madrid Ventures’ only revenue is memberships. The deal is negotiated and signed directly between investor and founder, off the platform: we never intermediate and we never hold funds.
It is calculated from data, not promises: public rules applied by code, rungs that demand audited evidence and are revoked if it turns out false, and a part that measures consistency: if a team stops updating its figures, that part goes down, and a project with only self-declared points can drop out of the dealflow. What has been proven with evidence does not expire. That said, it is a first filter to save you time, not a recommendation: the analysis and the decision remain yours.
Because a committee introduces exactly the bias we want to remove: who presents better, who knows whom, who has the prettiest deck. A score with public rules cannot be talked round on a good call. And because it is published, every founder knows precisely what they are missing instead of waiting for an unexplained “no”.
With the Investor membership you can start the conversation from the project itself, with no intermediaries. Messaging is always started by the investor: founders cannot write to you, so you will not get an inbox full of cold pitches. The only thing they can do, and only if YOU turn it on, is invite you to look at their data room: a notice with no message, from a project that has already cleared the bar, and you still start the conversation. It comes switched off and you can switch it off again whenever you like.
15% of every membership feeds a common pot that each quarter is co-invested in full into the eligible project with the highest FounderSeal, on the same equity terms as the rest of the round. It does not alter your terms: in practice it acts as additional capital alongside your deal, and only founders who have already closed investment with network investors are eligible.
The Investor membership is €79/month or €699/year, with no lock-in: cancel whenever you like from your own panel. With the free account you see how many projects are in the dealflow, their sector, their FounderSeal and the capital they are looking for, so you can judge whether it is worth it. The membership opens the full profiles and contact with the founders.
Create your account for free and look at the dealflow before paying anything.
See the dealflow →Madrid Ventures is not a crowdfunding platform nor an investment services firm, is not registered as such with the Spanish securities regulator (CNMV), does not hold funds, does not intermediate in transactions and does not provide financial advice. The FounderSeal is an informational filtering tool and under no circumstances an investment recommendation. Investing in startups carries the risk of total loss of capital and of prolonged illiquidity. In the event of any discrepancy, the Spanish version of this page prevails.
