Founded in Valencia in 2013, we are a Startup incubator with operations across 6 countries and growing! We create startups from the ground up, from a point where neither the idea nor the team exists.

To achieve this, we identify business ideas, based on business models that are successful in other countries, and we make them available to motivated and talented entrepreneurs who want to develop them in the footsteps of the Lean Startup methodology. 

We have a very talented team this makes all this possible because: we always hire better people than us!

To support our exponential growth, we have tripled in size during the first 6 months of this year, we are currently looking for a portfolio legal counsel who will play a pivotal role in supporting both Demium as well as our start-ups.

Who can better explain what is like to work with Demium than Carlota Sancho, our Head of Legal: 

To be a part of the legal team in Demium is not like just being a legal advisor to a company. It is making sure that the show always goes on whilst making sure that the legal foundations are solid. A portfolio legal advisor is a key role in making sure that the magic happens.
