Startup Grind 4th Anniversary
By Thomas Macaulay
Startup Grind celebrates four years of supporting entrepreneurs in Barcelona with a party that mixes interviews, pitching, panels and networking over food and drinks.
The organizers have invited a host of speakers from the startup community to the festivities. They include BlaBlaCar cofounder Vincent Rosso, Jordi Priu of 101 Startups, Ingrid Verschuren of Dow Jones and Ángel Garcia, a founding partner of the Startupbootcamp accelerators. Startup Grind Barcelona director Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit will also take the stage to deliver a keynote looking back at the organization’s first four years, which saw it selected as the Chapter of the Year in 2016 and reach an average attendance of more than 120 attendees across the 50 preceding events.
The agenda also includes an invitation to every guest to make a 30-second pitch, quick-fire interviews with four local serial entrepreneurs, an expert panel of surprise speakers and dinner and drinks to wrap things up.
