Eligibility

How to apply

1. 1

   Check yourself against the nine selection criteria

   Lanzadera publishes nine criteria on /criterios-seleccion/, covering the founding team, full-time dedication, scalability, territorial impact, presence at the programme, traction, founder financial commitment, legal and shareholding solidity, and timing.

2. 2

   Submit the application form before the deadline

   The application form is at lanzadera.es/inscripcion/, and the page states "Los datos que nos indiques en el formulario es la información que utilizaremos para revisar tu proyecto", so the form itself is the assessment material. Only one project per call is allowed.

3. 3

   Selection on fit and timing

   Selection turns on whether this is the right moment for the project: "Necesitamos saber si es tu momento". Lanzadera runs two calls a year, entering in March and September.

4. 4

   Join the six-month programme in Valencia

   Month 1 is diagnosis and a personalised plan, months 2 to 4 are intensive training, workshops and one-to-one mentoring, and months 5 to 6 calibrate results and decide on continuing. The CEO must be on site at least three days a week.

5. 5

   Optionally continue into Programa 2.0

   An additional six months for companies scaling further.
