Investment
We want to be your partner
Banco Sabadell invests in startups with a philosophy focused on supporting entrepreneurs.
Our investment focus is on Spanish companies with a technological and digital basis, with strong growth potential and scalable and innovative business models. Additionally, BStartup has launched BStartup Health, a program to support Health projects.
Our vocation is to be the leading financial partner in the field of entrepreneurship.
New BStartup Health Call
BStartup Health, a program for the support of health projects in the pre-seed and seed phase, where investment is fundamentally directed towards technology and business validation. In this first edition we will be selecting three projects from throughout Spain.
-
Investment in 3 Health Sector startups, for the sum of
EUR 100,000 in exchange for a percentage of the equity. - Accompanying Program: For the startups that they participate in BStartup offer mentoring from an expert in the sector. Mentoring will consist of strategic level business counselling, roadmap definition, advice regarding fundraising strategy, introduction to some of the most relevant investors, depending on status and field of activity, along with the drafting of the necessary documents for the preparation of an investment round (business plan, investor’s deck and one page summary).
- Sector: Projects in the Health sphere: EHealth, Medical Devices, Diagnostics, Therapeutics.
- Phase: Projects in the pre-seed, seed or early-stage can be presented, along with teams with innovative projects.
-
Investment Goal: The program consists of
jump-starting project evaluation initiatives (patentability studies, concept testing, prototypes, business plans…) for the purpose of reaching a stage of maturity, along with optimum desirable guarantees for subsequent investment rounds with sectorial risk capital (first VC rounds). In the EHealth sector the existence of a product/service that is already on the market, having logged initial sales, will be positively viewed.
- Teams: Projects led by entrepreneurs, highly committed to the project, with overall ambition, experience in the sector and the vocation to set up teams.
- Spanish companies, already founded, or in the process of being founded, with an international outlook.

SYNERGIES with the Bank
Banco Sabadell will study the potential synergies between the products submitted by the startups and the innovation processes of the bank to include them in our Open Innovation strategy, if it is in the interests of both parties.
The Bank may also become a client, as it is for many other startups.
Co-investment and collaboration
The Banco Sabadell philosophy is collaboration. This philosophy is present in the BStartup initiative and for this reason, co-investment is encouraged with the different players in the national and international investment eco-system.
We also collaborate with the entire eco-system that encourages the creation and growth of these companies: incubators, accelerators, business angels networks, development agencies, universities and technology parks.
