Call4Entrepreneurs - Join our Talent Pool

Are you ready to build the next wave of Deep Tech startups?

At The Collider, we are constantly looking for entrepreneurial minds eager to turn groundbreaking science into impactful ventures. Thats why our Call4Entrepreneurs is always open.

The Programme

As an entrepreneur, you will join our 3-month venture-building programme designed to validate the business potential of scientific technologies and build solid and complementary teams, ready to co-found disruptive spin-offs.

During this journey, you will:

• Work hand-in-hand with researchers to explore markets, validate use cases, and build strategic relationships with key stakeholders (institutions, clients, partners, and investors).
• Build a solid business plan and fundraising strategy.
• Test and develop and your co-founder relationship.

And you wont do this alone. Our structured programme provides access to mentors, specialists, industry leaders, and a powerful ecosystem. At the end of the process, if both, the business and team are validated, the spin-off will be incorporated, and you will become CEO and co-founder of a new disruptive, IP-protected startup.

The Offer

• Relevant equity as a co-founder.

• 6,000 euros stipend (3 monthly instalments of 2,000 each). 
• Opportunity to access a participative loan of up to 50K to finance the first phases of the project.
• International exposure (4YFN and Mobile World Congress).
• Access to a vibrant network of mentors, experts, investors, and industry partners.
• Coworking space at Tech Barcelona Pier 01.

This opportunity is for you if you are: 

• An entrepreneur with experience founding or co-founding tech-based startups with real traction.
• Passionate about science-based innovation.
• Skilled in team leadership, strategy, and fundraising.
• Resilient, hands-on, and able to bridge science and business.
• Eligible to work in Spain (passport or visa required).

The Process

• Apply anytime - Once you submit your application, our team will carefully review your profile and share feedback by email.
• Join our Talent Pool - If your profile meets our requirements, you will be invited to a first interview. This helps us understand your motivation, current stage, and sector interests.
• Match with projects - As we onboard scientific projects on a rolling basis, we will keep you updated on new opportunities. You can join the candidate pool for one or more projects.
• Deep-dive interview - If you enter a specific candidate pool, you will be invited to a second interview. This allows us to go deeper into your profile and find the best fit for both you and the project.
• Shortlist & matchmaking - Shortlisted candidates meet the scientific team and start the matchmaking process. If there is alignment, you will officially join the project and participate in the Business Validation phase, the first step to becoming co-founder.
