BIND
AcceleratorBilbao · Pre-Seed–Seed
Investment thesis
BIND runs an open-innovation program based in the Basque industrial ecosystem, matching disruptive tech startups with 'venture clients' — corporates, SMEs, and public sector organizations — who provide paid smart-industry projects. Participating startups develop proofs of concept for market validation, gain real contracts and references, and access a community of world-leading corporates, mentors, and other startups. The program is free to join and takes no equity, positioning industry clients rather than capital as the primary path to startup growth. It emphasizes immersion in the Basque industrial hub and has operated for roughly ten years.
