Jose Luis de Lope

With over two decades of experience in sales, business development, and growth strategy, I bring a proven track record as both founder and advisor. Having co-founded and led multiple startups — including scaling ventures in Spain and Silicon Valley — I understand firsthand the challenges of entrepreneurship. My leadership has consistently delivered exponential growth, successful pivots to profitability, and international partnerships with top-tier corporations.

Beyond my own ventures, I have mentored and advised more than 120 startups and technology SMEs through global accelerators such as Wayra (Telefónica), ISDI Accelerator, EOI, Bind 4.0, and Seed2Exit (California). This hands-on mentoring, combined with board-level experience, equips me to help founders sharpen strategy, scale sales operations, and structure sustainable growth models. I bring a balance of critical thinking, pragmatic execution, and empathy, which has made me a trusted advisor across diverse ecosystems.

The companies that benefit most from my expertise are early to mid-stage technology-driven businesses — particularly in SaaS, digital platforms, and B2B services — that are ready to professionalize their go-to-market strategy and accelerate scale-up. I add value where sales transformation, strategic partnerships, exponential growth, or international expansion are pivotal. As an advisor or board member, my focus is on driving measurable impact while supporting founders in making bold, sustainable decisions.
