Meaningful Entrepreneurship
We put people at the centre when analysing any investment. For us, entrepreneurship is not unrelated to people’s search for meaning. We believe that people who pursue projects that are meaningful to them are more passionate, resilient, tend to have better ideas and such “meaningful” projects are more likely to transform the world for better. We help entrepreneurs who have been developing technologies for years and dream of making a difference in the world and people’s lives. We want them to fulfil those dreams by turning them into business that generate wealth and create jobs.
The book “Meaningful Entrepreneurship” reflects the philosophy behind the interest in putting people and their vital purpose at the centre.

Spin-off Launchpad is a training and mentoring program with a permanently open call, aimed at PhD holders, postdoctoral researchers, and researchers who want to take the leap into entrepreneurship. The program is free of charge and lasts 20 weeks.
LEARN MORESpin-off Launchpad has a threefold approach: support for the individual, support for the project’s strategy and operations, and financial support with an investment of up to €1M.
Access the formIndividual support through soft skills development and coaching.
The program is designed to help scientists with no prior experience in leadership or entrepreneurship become conscious and effective founders of the companies of the future. From a personal development perspective, participants reflect on their purpose, acquire essential soft skills, and gain access to tools that enable them to grow and scale their projects.
Strategic and operational support through professional mentors.
With the aim of providing each project with a strong strategic focus, every founder will be assigned a partner from the management team—all of them successful entrepreneurs—who will support them in defining the business model and setting objectives for the next 12 to 24 months, as well as shaping the company’s medium-term strategic direction.
Financial support through direct investment of up to €1,000,000.
One of the main challenges faced by scientific founders is access to capital. For this reason, Grow Venture Partners is committed to investing directly in the spin-offs that successfully complete the program, with an initial investment that—depending on the project’s potential—may reach up to €1,000,000, always tailored to the project’s needs and level of maturity.
