La semana pasada Inés Zuriaga del Castillo se unió a nosotros como COO. Conozco a Inés desde hace un montón de años. Desde entonces nos hemos seguido la pista y mantenido en contacto, hasta que por fin ha surgido la oportunidad de hacer algo juntos. Es un verdadero lujo poder contar con ella en el equipo. Estoy seguro que nos va a ayudar a dar un salto de calidad en todos los ámbitos, pero especialmente en todo lo que tiene que ver con nuestros inversores y emprendedores. ¡Bienvenida, Inés!

Cerramos el cartel de #START vol. 1 🚀 Después de Miquel Palet e Iván Landabaso, el último invitado es ⚓ Arnau Navarro CEO y cofundador de haddock (YC W22), una plataforma con la que más de 2.500 restaurantes controlan sus costes y márgenes con IA 🍽️ Arnau y todo su equipo han construido desde Barcelona una startup participada por fondos internacionales, y eso es justo lo que queremos que cuente: qué supone entrar en Y Combinator, cómo se vende software a un sector tan poco digitalizado como la restauración y qué han aprendido por el camino. Cuando empezamos a pensar START con el equipo de Kompanion, queríamos un evento en el que los fundadores hablaran claro de lo que de verdad pasa al construir una empresa. Con estos tres invitados creo que lo hemos conseguido. Ya somos más de 100 inscritos y quedan muy pocas plazas. Me encantaría verte allí 🚀 📍 Hub BStartup Barcelona - Ptge. Mercader 9, Barcelona 🗓 Jueves 5 de noviembre, 18:30h 🎟 Últimas plazas Inscripciones en el primer comentario. ¿Te animas?👇
