Caixabank has launched its DayOne service in Seville, which seeks to provide coverage to innovative technology companies with a team of specialists in monitoring startups, scaleups and investors.
DayOne offers its clients “innovative products and services suitable for this group and promotes small-format meetings, periodically connecting its clients with strategic partners,” it adds.
The DayOne division will cover technology-based companies in the area, where, Caixabank says, the technology ecosystem has experienced “notable growth”. A clear example of this evolution, he explains, is the latest edition of the EmprendeXXI Awards, in which 103 Andalusian startups submitted candidatures, which represents an increase of 62% compared to the previous edition.
Along with financial advice, DayOne offers entrepreneurs an open space for support in the development of their project, including access to training and networking activities. It also has a line of services aimed at investors interested in allocating funds to innovative companies in their initial phases.
The territorial director of Caixabank in Andalusia, Juan Ignacio Zafra, has highlighted that “the implementation of the DayOne model in Seville represents a further step in our entity’s strategy of offering a specialized banking model by segments, adjusted to the needs of each profile of customer”. In the case of startups and scaleups, this specialization means offering a service with new approaches, aimed at all agents in the innovation ecosystem, and taking advantage of Caixabank’s valuable experience in working with entrepreneurs and companies.” For its part, Victoria Eugenia Blanco, director of DayOne in Andalusia, points out that “Caixabank has taken Seville’s business fabric into account when expanding its DayOne service and clearly implies our commitment to Andalusia as a first-rate pole in the creation of innovation .
”As the entrepreneurial ecosystem has grown in Spain and the creation of startups and scaleups has increased, the team of experts in serving this customer segment has expanded its territorial presence, providing services in 14 autonomous communities. Caixabank currently has six DayOne centers, located in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Zaragoza, Malaga and Bilbao. In addition, DayOne also has teams that serve customers in other territories: Murcia, Castilla y León, the Canary Islands, Seville, Catalonia and Galicia.
DayOne has the vocation of accompanying all technology-based, fast-developing companies with a global scope of action that carry out value-added activities. All this, supported by five key elements that have been developed to provide a service adapted to this segment: DayOne hubs (centres that are a meeting point for talent and capital), financial managers (professionals who know the reality of the industry and their needs), specialized solutions (construction of new financial products and services adapted to the needs of ecosystem agents), banking relations (development of relationships and connections between the main agents and corporates of the innovation ecosystem) and entrepreneurship programs ( promotion of an entrepreneurial attitude based on technology with the EmprendeXXI Awards and other initiatives).
