Beyond the pitch: a meeting on startups’ real growth

La Vanguardia and Banco Sabadell will host the closing event of the “Beyond the pitch: from idea to success” (Más allá del pitch: un viaje de la idea al éxito) project, which has explored the different stages a startup goes through along its growth journey.

The event will kick off with Yolanda Pérez, BStartup Director, welcoming attendees, and will be structured around two roundtable discussions covering the main stages of entrepreneurship.

The first roundtable will bring together early-stage startups to analyse the challenges of taking the first steps. The panel will feature Rodrigo Fernández, Head of Marketing at Neural Trust; Jaume Betrian, Founder of Plesh; and Sara Toledano, CEO and Co-Founder of Sycai Medical. The roundtable will be moderated by Arnau Segura, Investment Manager at BStartup10, and will include questions from the audience submitted via a QR-code system.

The second roundtable will focus on more mature projects, with participants sharing how to navigate the leap towards stability and sustainable growth. This block will feature Ignasi Ferrer, CEO of Ocean Ecostructures; Sergio González, CEO and Founder of Remuner; and Beatriz Mesas, Co-Founder of Incapto. The session will be moderated by Laurent Arens, BStartup10 Director, and will also include questions from the audience.

The event will conclude with a conversation with Oriol de Pablo, Co-Founder and CEO of Vicio, centred on the challenges of business growth and decision-making in highly demanding situations. Following the interview, the day will end with an after-work gathering and a networking session hosted by Vicio, conceived as an informal meeting point to keep exchanging ideas and experiences.

The event will take place on Tuesday, 27 January from 5:30 p.m. onwards at Passatge Mercader 7-9, Barcelona, Banco Sabadell’s new BStartup Hub in the Catalan city. The purpose of this Hub is to foster connection and learning, while boosting entrepreneurship.
