Boske

What Boske does

Boske (legally TIMETOSHARE, S.L.) is a Spanish EdTech company headquartered in Valencia, founded in 2021, that delivers practitioner-built education and tooling for venture capital and startup fundraising. Its core product surface consists of two self-serve online courses — "Venture Capital y Análisis de Startups" (€200 one-time, 40+ hours of content) and the "Plataforma de Fundraising" (€50 one-time, with captable, financial model, valuation, investor database, and data room templates) — hosted on Thinkific. These are complemented by "Formación Ad-hoc" bespoke corporate training and Startup Financing Advisory services, where Boske designs and delivers one-to-two-day workshops or full round-preparation engagements for institutional and startup clients.

The underlying technology stack is content-led and lightweight: course delivery is handled by Thinkific as the LMS, while proprietary value sits in practitioner-authored video sessions, masterclasses, and a downloadable toolkit (captables, financial models, valuation frameworks, investor lists, ESOP structures, data room templates). The company's distribution combines a content-marketing blog targeting VC and startup finance search intent with organic social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), amplified by a 200+-person instructor network drawn from European VC firms (JME Ventures, Air Street Capital, Angels Capital, Encomenda Smart Capital, All Iron Ventures, Sanofi Ventures, DraperB1).

Boske's business model mixes one-time course purchases with negotiated professional-services fees for corporate training and startup advisory work, with a free blog and newsletter functioning as a top-of-funnel demand-generation layer feeding an MN.co community. The customer base spans individual aspiring VC professionals and early-stage founders (pre-seed to Series A) for self-serve courses, alongside a smaller roster of enterprise clients including BBVA, EIT Mobility, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Iberostar, Extenda, Freshpeople, and Bisiesto Estudio for bespoke training. The company was recognized by Sifted (Financial Times) as a Top 10 European VC program in 2023, claims assisted startups have raised more than €100M cumulatively, and operates without disclosed external institutional funding under founder-CEO Manuel González.
