The Startup Academy | The Startup Academy

The Startup Academy is an initiative to share the expertise of our team of financial analysts at The Startup CFO.

Until then, training in finance for startups was minimal, so we decided to share all our knowledge with the ecosystem.

We have worked with more than 100 startups, managing different day-to-day issues in each of them. This knowledge has allowed us to train our students from a practical point of view and focused on analyzing real cases.

What our students value most when learning with us

Format

The online learning format, with recorded classes and live case studies, allows each student to manage the investment of time.

Community

A large community of top profiles in the ecosystem fosters networking and continuous improvement among our students.

Content

Analysis and case studies on real situations give an exact vision of applying the concepts in day-to-day life.

Founders

"Startups are very particular businesses and immersed in extreme uncertainty. For this reason, a large part of the financial knowledge in regular companies is not useful for analysing startups, and therefore needs to learn a new language to understand them. I had to go through this transition when I moved from consulting to startups, and so did hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors, people entering the sector...

For this reason, and after having worked with more than 100 startups, we thought we could provide a course that would bring together this much-needed knowledge for the ecosystem."

Jaime Medina

CEO & Co-founder The Startup CFO

"In the last few years, knowledge transfer and training are changing radically, especially because of specialisation and online education. Universities or business schools often do not cover new business models extensively, but are lagging behind.

On the other hand, in online schools it is easy that the community does not contribute as much because there are profiles with too different objectives. We believe that with this course we can provide high quality knowledge about cutting-edge startups while maintaining a very high level in our community, as our students from past editions have already confirmed."

ACCELERATORS/INCUBATORS

We help startups from accelerators and incubators without a finance team in the early stages of entrepreneurship to face financing rounds with a solid financial situation.

Corporate Investment Banking, Financial Controller, CEO, CFO, Founder in startups, PE Investor, Risk Specialist, Big4 Senior Associate, Investment Analyst, and Investment Partner… are some of the positions held by our students in leading companies in different markets:

Business Angels and Venture Capital: They analyze startups from a potential investor point of view, focusing on metrics and business models

Passionate about the startup and VC world: Eager to learn and expand knowledge in one of the leading sectors with the most professional opportunities

What they share

What do they think of the teaching staff?

At The Startup Academy nothing would be possible without our teachers. All of them are great professionals with a lot of experience in startup finance who help our students learn by applying the knowledge in a practical way and providing the value of having worked with more than 100 startups.

How is the quality of the content?

Through our experience, in The Startup Academy we developed a content program adapted to the reality of the ecosystem, deepening and analyzing the most important blocks when it comes to managing the finances of startups.

Our community

The cornerstone of The Startup Academy. We have created a community of professionals who, in addition to learning during the course, add value and generate networking in the ecosystem. Beyond giving courses, we want to create this community in which synergies are generated between the different players in the ecosystem.

Talks at The Startup Academy

Our talks are already a recognized added value in the ecosystem. We have the privilege of chatting with professionals of the ecosystem who tell us about their experience, from their beginnings, often failing, until today as entrepreneurs and successful professionals of companies like Glovo, Cobee, Boopos, Nauta Capital, Capchase, Kibo Venture, Graphext or Merama among others.

How have our students experienced it?

Who better than them to tell the experience. At The Startup Academy we work to continue providing value to our students both in knowledge and in the personal and work experience they live with us.
