Online Training for Innovators

Equipping first‑time and early‑stage founders with the practical tools, mindset, and funding know‑how they need to turn a solid business idea into a fundable, launch‑ready venture.

Why Us?

Strata Innovation, a Spanish innovation consultancy firm, has launched these courses to bridge the gap between innovative ideas and real-world success, drawing on our expertise as a European consultancy specializing in funding and sustainable tech. Having guided countless entrepreneurs through grant applications, startup financing, and business development, we saw a clear need for accessible, practical training that demystifies the complex world of entrepreneurship.

Our mission is to empower founders with actionable knowledge, helping them avoid common pitfalls and accelerate their ventures, all while aligning with our core focus on innovation ecosystems like cleantech and digital growth.

We offer a growing variety of online courses, with most centered on business essentials such as fundraising, equity strategies, grant writing, and scaling startups, but we also explore related topics. Whether you’re a first-time founder or an established professional, our courses are designed for flexible, self-paced study to fit your entrepreneurial journey.

This is the Team that makes it possible!

The Strata Team is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs at every stage and is always ready to help you turn your ideas into successful businesses.

Our Competences

Internationalisation

We have a solid commercial network in Europe with a focus on bridging between Southern Europe, Nordics and the DACH region. We can also bridge towards the Latam market.

Scaling Companies

Although we mostly work with early-stage startups, we have seen several of our clients scale. We can support our clients in selecting the right paths and partners.

Fundraising

We bring capital to our clients. We are experts in EC funding proposals providing a comprehensive service which includes the elaboration of the funding strategy, grant writing and project management.

Innovation Strategy

Transforming research and technology into real marketable products and services is our passion. Innovation is not straightforward, choosing the right steps towards the market needs of careful analysis and industry insights.

Tech Transfer

We have worked with many European universities and their spin-offs in transforming research into business. We also give access to an interesting talent pool in technology and business development.

Business Development

We love sketching and brainstorming on business models but we also have solid expertise in providing robust spreadsheets such as business plans for investors.
