Our purpose is to drive progress and prosperity. Our thesis is simple: the machinery of an exponential society are exponential people who’ve been nurtured by exponential experiences.
We believe that if we put extraordinary people in extraordinary places, they will go on to do extraordinary things.
We act early in the careers of our fellows, bringing together the best talent and the best teams.
Our mission is to identify high-potential individuals at the onset of their careers, so we can accelerate their path to outsized returns for society. Because of the exponential nature of these individuals, a small but transformational experience today can benefit them – and the world – in ways we cannot imagine.
Opportunity. Community. Mentorship. These are the pillars of our program.
We find and send Spanish technical whiz kids to top high-growth US startups. We then give them a community of like-minded individuals and a network of experts to foster the next generation of exponential founders.
The Exponential
Association
"Spain makes you want to chill; SF makes you want to build. In this town, you breath tech, creativity, and innovation. Here, we met folks like Marc Andreessen, Guillermo Rauch, or Amjad Masad, who believed in our vision and gave us advice, connections, and resources that you cannot get elsewhere."
Víctor Pérez
CEO, Krea AI
"Coming to the US changed everything for Happyrobot. Going through Y Combinator definitely helped, but simply being based in San Francisco opens doors we never could have imagined would open."
Pablo Palafox
Co-founder, Happyrobot
"Creating a successful company will always be a challenge, but in the United States, at least, I have had the wind at my back and the statistics on my side. The US has given me access to a colossal and cohesive market with the same culture, language, and regulations, and most importantly: access to capital and mentors who have achieved success before me."
Antoni Rosiñol
Co-founder, Stack AI
"Working at a startup in San Francisco was the best professional decision I have made in my life. It opened the doors to understanding a different way of developing software. I learned to create software from scratch alongside world-class colleagues, and I found a co-founder and employees to later start my own startup."
Miguel Carranza
Co-founder, RevenueCat
"Taking the risk to go to Silicon Valley was one of the best decisions of my life. The experience and the network (and above all, a very busy life but with great friendships) that I developed there greatly accelerated my growth. It opened doors to Facebook, working at a venture capital fund, creating a company, and much more. A certain American mindset of thinking big is contagious and very necessary in Spain."
