MONDRAGON Ventures wins Best Corporation award at Startup OLÉ Salamanca

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

MONDRAGON Ventures collected the Best Corporation award at the 13th Startup OLÉ in Salamanca, held from 13 to 15 October. The prize recognised a decade of attendance. Over those ten years it has sat on round tables, gone to plenty of networking sessions and been shown more than 300 start-ups, and it took equity in two of them. Corporate venturing is a patient business.

Joseba Sagastigordia represented the group on a panel about corporate venturing and open innovation, alongside Enagás Emprende, Iberdrola and Talgo. This year's edition drew over 5,000 people, with 500 speakers from abroad and upwards of 500 firms from over 40 countries.

The event's pitch contest feeds into the Startup World Cup run by Pegasus Tech Ventures, whose San Francisco final carries a $1 million investment prize. OSITOS - Muerde tu cocktail won first place and also took the edition's best start-up title, ahead of BaseSport in second and MiFood in third.
