David Arias

During most of my career, I%27ve been working, helping or supporting highly dynamic and entrepreneurial teams at tech startups with global ambition.

I am co-founder of Strata.team – an investment, funding and management advisory firm -, Fundingtrip.com -a funding insights web platform – and wearefounders.org – a community of investors. I hold a Telecommunications Engineering MSc and a Management MSc.

I have helped acquire more than €100 million in funding for startups in the deep-tech, health-tech and cleantech areas.

As founder of Strata, I currently work with European deep-tech startups and small and medium companies helping them with fundraising (EU funding, H2020, Horizon Europe, EIC Accelerator, private investments) and go-to-market strategies. I work as a coach in various European acceleration and startup coaching programmes. I also make pre-seed investments in early-stage deep-tech companies.

I define myself as an innovation and technology enthusiast who loves working in exciting, fast paced environments helping shape a better future. During my career I am especially proud of having helped several startups raise +1M€ funding each but also of being part of startup processes creating multi-million international businesses from scratch.

Always eager to take on new challenges, I prefer looking ahead. I want to help startups with rounds of +10M€ and grow %22good%22 businesses from 1M€ to 100M€ turnover. I would also love to take part in non-for-profit projects with a focus on creating a more equal world. If you are an ambitious tech startup and need a hand with business development and fundraising, feel free to contact me.
