Valerdat participated in the\u00a01st edition of the acceleration program for startups driven by INDPULS<\/a>,\u00a0ACCELERATE YOUR GO TO MARKET<\/strong>, which will soon celebrate its second edition. Valerdat was one of the two winning startups alongside Bitm\u00e9trics. Thanks to this, it participated in a Seminar in Boston on Strategy, Growth, and Innovation organized by Lead to Change last February.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We spoke with Eduard Aran about Valerdat\u2019s value proposition, his experience collaborating with Corporates, and how he has lived the experience of the Boston Seminary with around thirty executives from different companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your value proposition for industrial companies? What challenges does your technology help to solve?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Valerdat helps industrial companies increase profitability and competitiveness through the optimization of procurement. Currently, companies\u2019 purchasing departments and supply chains are inundated with data. The vast amount of data cannot only be challenging to find and manage, as it comes from diverse sources of information, but making decisions and taking actions to optimize the business becomes nearly impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valerdat emerges as a cognitive advisor to assist procurement and supply chain departments in streamlining their daily operations and achieving the best outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the main difficulties you encounter when collaborating with companies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main challenge we face involves approaching industrial organizations and managing to collaborate with them, while also learning from them in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you enroll in the \u2018ACCELERATE YOUR GO TO MARKET\u2019 program?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a solid product, one of Valerdat\u2019s main goals is to assist more companies and to grow in a scalable manner. The program proposed by INDPULS is not only unique in the industrial sector but also has the capacity to bridge the gap between corporations and startups, achieving collaboration that has not been accomplished before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valerdat has been one of the two startups selected by INDPULS to participate in the Lead to Change Boston Seminary 2024. How do you value this experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The experience has been very enriching. Participating in the seminar and spending a week with other executives has allowed us to learn a lot, come back with clear ideas, and know where to focus on developing a consistent business model and growing the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What collaboration opportunities have arisen from participating in the program?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to our participation in the INPULS Startup Program, we have met with 8 industrial companies, and with 3 of them, we are already in quite advanced discussions to start a collaboration. I hope these can be consolidated and brought to light soon.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
