Overview

Demium is a leading European startup incubator and talent investor with a unique model that focuses on building startups from scratch. Unlike traditional accelerators that work with existing companies, Demium is dedicated to identifying and supporting talented individuals who have the potential to become successful entrepreneurs, even if they don’t yet have a business idea or a team.

Founded in 2013 in Spain, Demium has since expanded across Europe, with a presence in multiple cities, including Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Warsaw. Demium’s incubation program is designed to help entrepreneurs create startups from the ground up. The program starts with a rigorous selection process to identify individuals with strong entrepreneurial potential. Once selected, participants enter an intensive incubation phase where they are matched with co-founders and guided through the process of ideation, validation, and company formation.

One of the key differentiators of Demium is its commitment to long-term support. Startups that emerge from the incubation program have access to up to €100,000 in pre-seed funding from Think Bigger Capital, Demium’s own investment fund, in exchange for equity. Additionally, Demium provides ongoing mentorship, access to a wide network of investors, and opportunities for follow-on funding as startups grow and scale.

Demium’s model is particularly suited for aspiring entrepreneurs who are at the very beginning of their startup journey. By focusing on talent and potential rather than pre-existing companies, Demium helps create high-impact startups that can thrive in both local and international markets.
