Mobile World Congress might be canceled, but the show goes on at Startup Grind. They will be hosting a special edition featuring local venture capital funds at their next edition on Tuesday, February 25^th.

Startup Grind, founded in 2010 in California, is an international platform that empowers entrepreneurs by connecting founders, innovators, educators and investors. The global community is backed by Google for Entrepreneurs and currently comprises 50 chapters across 20 countries. The Barcelona chapter was awarded Best Chapter of the Year in 2016, with the average assistance of over 130 attendees per event, and has held over 60 events since April 2014 helping local entrepreneurs take their projects to the next level.

In the event format, attendees first present projects and ask for advice or mentoring followed by a keynote by the guest speaker, then a “fireside chat” between the speakers and Barcelona chapter director Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit. The session wraps up with networking, food and drinks.

(The event will be conducted in English.)
