@IE_Ventures
IE is fully committed to fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among its students and alumni for those who want to create their own businesses and for those who want to focus on corporate innovation. IE Business School was founded by entrepreneurs, and the entrepreneurial spirit forms an integral part of IE’s day-to-day fabric – from the teaching methods we use in our classrooms and the manner in which we develop new programs for the next generation of students, to how we engage with the external community of investors, government agencies and startups.
Our mission is to promote the development and consolidation of startups proposed and launched by IE students and alumni, both in Spain and worldwide, and to foster an ecosystem aimed at facilitating the funding of past, present, and future business ventures as an engine for growth and social welfare
