Harvard and Spain: Strengthening the Bridge!

The Real Colegio Complutense Accelerator is an initiative designed to serve as a strategic bridge between startups born within Spanish universities and the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Harvard.

The RCC Accelerator is designed to structure resources, strengthen connections, and provide comprehensive support to university-driven entrepreneurial projects emerging from Spain, while also helping Harvard-founded startups identify and attract talent from Spanish universities.

Its purpose is to provide entrepreneurs with access to an American perspective on entrepreneurship and facilitate their integration into the Harvard ecosystem’s resources: specialized training, strategic mentorship, international investor networks, and direct connections to the Massachusetts business community.

The RCC Accelerator Board is composed of an exceptional group of individuals with experience in entrepreneurship, business, finance, medicine, and technology, representing diverse programs across Harvard and MIT.

Level 1 – RCC Ecosystem

We maintain a dynamic portfolio of startups created within our member universities and affiliated entrepreneurial programs, including university innovation offices and technology transfer centers (OTCs).

Level 2 – Mentorship Track

This level is designed to assess and accelerate promising projects through personalized guidance and access to specialized resources.

Level 3 – Incubation Program

Startups admitted into the incubation program receive access to office space at 26 Trowbridge Street, located within the core of the Harvard–MIT innovation ecosystem and hands-on support for U.S. business development, regulatory guidance, and fundraising.
