Start Up Spain

Entrepreneurship for a Spain 3.0

The Rafael del Pino Foundation and ESADE Business School organised the IV Start Up Spain Meeting: Entrepreneurship for a Spain 3.0, on 17 December at 17:00.

Start Up Spain is a living laboratory on startups, venture capital and entrepreneurship in Spain, a forum promoted by ESADE Business School and the Rafael del Pino Foundation.

The first round table entitled "women entrepreneurs" answered two questions: what difficulties have they had to overcome and what advantages do they find in the fact of being a woman and an entrepreneur, and what should we do to encourage more women to follow their entrepreneurial impulse in Spain? The panel was formed by:

Noelia Amoedo, CEO, Mediasmart
Belén Barbero, founder, BEBA'S CLOSET
Marta Esteve, founder, Rentalia, co-founder, Top Rural

Catalina Hoffmann, Founder and CEO, Vitalia
María López, CEO, BitBrain Technologies
Pilar Manchón, founder and CEO of Indysis

The second panel will bring together junior entrepreneurs and senior entrepreneurs. The debate in this panel focused on other questions: what are the advantages of starting up early or late, what can we do better to encourage entrepreneurship from the beginning, and what are the advantages and difficulties of starting up a business after the age of forty? The panel was made up of:

Javier Agüera, CTO & co-founder, Geeksphone
Ignacio Benito, CEO and co-founder, Ingenium
Luis Iván Cuende, CEO, Asturix, co-founder, Holalabs
