We promote entrepreneurs
At ISDI we accompany selected projects throughout the whole process, thanks to our network of mentors and entrepreneurs, our communication tools and co-working spaces, and our investment funds created by alumni.
Entrepreneurship has changed drastically over the last 10 years due to the cultural and technological development of the Internet, and has become younger, better prepared and more disruptive. However there are still has many challenges ahead. Almost a quarter of our students are entrepreneurs, and as an institution and ecosystem ISDI supports them in their initiatives in the fields of acceleration, communication and networking.
22% of ISDI students launch a startup. Our vocation is to help these startups throughout the different phases of creation, launch and growth.
These are some of the startups that have been created by students after completing their training at ISDI.

CEO in Healthia.es (Sanitas)
Our experience at ISDI opened the doors to the IMPACT accelerator and allowed us to grow and develop our product in a way that we would never have achieved alone. Access to the best digital experts in the world gave us a very useful overview that helped us develop our vision rooted in the digital revolution.
Founders of Chipi
We had already been involved in some projects on the Internet before starting the MIB but everything we knew about the online world was self-taught.
We felt that we lacked the necessary foundations to take our projects to the next level.
There was a huge gap between where we were and where we wanted to be. ISDI was the bridge that connected both sides of the road.
Running an online project with incredible strategic planning, mentoring, networking... and being part of the MIBer tribe turned the MIB into something very special, something that goes far beyond a master's degree.
Founder of Reclamador.es
The MIB marked a before and after in my career because it helped me understand how the Internet works from multiple points of view: business models, technology, marketing... it offers a concise, practical and entertaining summary of the potential of the online world for both employees and employers.
It creates a mind-set which constantly opens the mind to new possibilities and has given me access to the elite of the online world in Spain, whilst also allowing me to get acquainted with other MIBers. In less than nine months I gained enough confidence to start a personal project in an environment that was unknown to me.
Market Lead - Airbnb
Getting into ISDI to study meant acquiring the digital business tools and knowledge that I needed to fulfill my goal of undertaking the project that I had always wanted to create.
WITH INVESTMENT FUNDS AND CROWDFUNDING
Funding projects has always been one of ISDI's commitments. For years it has invested with its own Business Angel Fund in entrepreneurial projects with short and medium term positions, at seed, startup and digital transformation stages.
Currently the Alumni Crowdfunding movement guarantees two Business Angel Funds for entrepreneurs. These funds have been created using crowdfunding by students and teachers at ISDI.
The investment club Making Ideas Business was born in June 2012 and is currently made up of more than 70 people, both teachers and students. Our objective is to help the digitalization of society and industries, providing funding resources for entrepreneurs who wish to carry out their projects and to work together for that purpose.
