Blackboard, whiteboards and boards of all sorts hanging from many accelerators\u2019 offices claim that every startup plan is a global domination plan. Well, make sure that global domination starts at your doorstep.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Or put it the other way: many startups and investors fail because they use a fisheye approach to their market<\/strong>, accounting for as much as possible and losing focus of what\u2019s relevant to their own interests.<\/p>\n Sure there are tools and webs that give you the chance to follow listings and investments worldwide but you need to track what’s relevant for you, and what’s relevant for you may vary from stage to stage.<\/p>\n And more questions arise:<\/p>\n Startupxplore is the interest-driven tool for the startup ecosystem. We are building it to give startups, investors, entrepreneurs and other actors of this ecosystem (accelerators, providers\u2026) the business intelligence tool we were missing…once.<\/p>\n An investor’s profile, where you can know more about the investment criteria, portfolio and contact.<\/p><\/div>\n Quite the opposite. Our aim is to help investors and venture capital firms focus only on high-quality dealflows matching their interests.<\/p>\n In the startup ecosystem, how much focus can we afford to lose?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We are working to yield relevant connections and information from a two-fold perspective:<\/p>\n The automatic side:<\/i><\/p>\n The human factor:<\/i><\/p>\n Where\u2019s the trick?<\/b><\/p>\n We thought there should be a trick though: only startups with a complete and active profile page can be featured on the Radar and considered for funding.<\/p>\n We have argued about this and we\u2019ve come to this conclusion: we are not, we\u2019ll help you make money. 4 months ago, before being accepted by the Plug and Play<\/strong> accelerator program, we asked ourselves: what would happen if Linkedin, AngelList, PeerIndex and Google Maps on steroids had a foursome? Startupxplore is what happens.<\/p>\n Founded by Javier Meg\u00edas<\/a>, as the CEO and Nacho Orme\u00f1o<\/a>, as the CTO. Javier and Nacho built Spain Startup Map<\/a> a year ago, which got huge feedback and traction. We\u2019ve automatically processed the profiles from Spain Startup Map to Startupxplore so, by the time we’re writing this, 3000 companies are already Startupxploring. Our mission is to provide coverage of every single region of Europe (remember the motto, accelerate local, aim global<\/em>). Our team is growing, we’ll introduce you to each of us very soon.<\/p>\n \u201cOur mission is to put transparency in the entrepreneurial ecosystem\u201dJavier Meg\u00edas<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Beta days are gone. Startupxplore is born today. For everyone. We would like to thank<\/strong> all the people -startups, investors and entrepreneurs- who kindly helped us testing it and providing us with the right instructions to make it better. And we\u2019re still getting there. We are currently working on the launch of new features of our roadmap, such as embeddable widgets for cross-site visibility, updates filtering in each market and to follow and contact investors. Germany and the UK are coming soon, too.<\/p>\n\n
