See what's being built around campus, and help it grow.
Venora brings together the ventures students are starting in Madrid, from early ideas to studios and service businesses, and the people who want to help them. Follow their progress, answer a short request, and turn it into a real conversation.
Made for the IE University community in Madrid. Independent, and free to join.
We serviced our first twelve bikes this week. Next, we need students who commute to try the booking flow.

For students: get close to real ventures, on your own terms.
You don't need to be job-hunting or starting a company. Curiosity is enough.
Follow what's being built
Choose the ventures you care about and see their updates together in one place.
Help in small, clear ways
Every request says what you'd do, how long it takes and what you get, before you say yes.
Meet the people behind it
A response opens a private conversation, so a good fit can become a coffee after class.
For founders: ask for exactly the help you need.
Whether it's an idea on a napkin, a design studio or a service with its first clients.
Post a short feedback request
Say what you want to learn, who should take part, the time it takes and what people get in return.
Share progress as you go
Post updates as yourself or as your venture, and keep the people following along informed.
Early is welcome
Ventures are shown as they are: ideas, prototypes and launched products each labelled honestly.
