Startup Grind is a global startup community designed to educate, inspire, and connect entrepreneurs. We do so by hosting a monthly recurring event. The Barcelona chapter was granted the "Best Chapter of the Year" award in 2016, with the average assistance of +130 attendees per event, having held over 100 editions since April 2014 and helping local entrepreneurs to take their projects to the next level.
This event will take place at Talent Garden BCN. For this occasion, we'll host Philippe Gelis, CEO & Co-founder at Kantox, a leading fintech for automation of currency risk management acquired a few days ago by BNP Paribas.
The event will go as follows:
1. An open mic session where any attendee is free to speak up his mind or ask for a piece of advice from the community and receive feedback.
2. A fireside chat interview with Philippe Gelis hosted by our Chapter Director Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit.
3. A networking session in which attendees talk to each other freely over some beers and delicious empanadas. There's no Startup Grind where you don't leave with new friends and exciting connections.
Follow #SGBCN; the official Startup Grind Barcelona hashtag. See you there and happy grinding!
