Another component of Banco Sabadell’s commitment to the entrepreneurial ecosystem is the presence for the eighth year in a row of BStartup as main sponsor of 4YFN. Banco Sabadell’s BStartup already has around 4,000 startups as its customers. The programme, which provides specialised banking services and equity investment, has made of Banco Sabadell one of the main investors in Spain in seed-stage startups.
“At 4YFN-MWC, we build the future. Many of the startups we will see in this edition will become big companies, just like in previous editions, and we collaborate with them, mainly from our expertise as a bank. Our goal is to pay attention to them and provide them with the range of specialised financial products they need and support them in their journey to growth”, Carlos Ventura, General Manager and Business Banking and Network Director of Banco Sabadell.
More details on BStartup at 4YFN
In this eighth edition of 4YFN, 20 of the most promising seed-stage startups have joined BStartup at its stand. These startups are already part of the investment portfolio. Moreover, Banco Sabadell has co-organised its own programming at the stand with presentations by various directors of areas related to the bank’s investment and innovation, as well as with the collaboration of other institutions in the startup ecosystem that have presented topics as diverse as innovation in the health field, legaltech, agrotech, success stories, how to sell more, how to attract talent, etc.

Miguel Kindelan, Head of Spain and Portugal at GP Bullhound, Pauline Roux Partner at Elaia and Sia Houchangnia, Partner at Seedcamp, shared the main trends in the VC world during a panel moderated by José Manuel Carol, Director of Operations of Banco Sabadell’s BStartup.
Kindelan pointed out emerging tech companies’ ability to overcome countercyclical episodes thanks to their disruptive propositions. “We seek to support tech entrepreneurs with ambition and capabilities to go global”.
All speakers agreed on the increased competition due to the growth of more international funds, which means it is more expensive to invest in emerging companies than a few years ago. As regards the popularity of sectors such as NFTs or the metaverse, the representatives of the three funds indicated that they are cautious when investing, but confirmed their interest in understanding the technologies behind these sectors and their progress. “We must understand them”, Roux pointed out. Climate and mobility were some of the sectors that are becoming more relevant for investment funds in the future, as Sia Houchangnia indicated.

Also at the Banco Sabadell Stage, Yolanda Pérez, BStartup Director, led the round table “How I sold my startup”, in which the process and keys to sell a startup were discussed from the perspective of three big Spanish startups sold in 2021, for between 130 and 230 million euros: Chartboost, Deporvillage and Holded. The founders were there to tell their experiences.

“During the sale process, there are people involved with differing opinions. We learned so much during the sale process. For me, the key to success is to face the world with the certainty that there is still so much to learn”, explained María Alegre, co-founder of Chartboost.
“Selling was not in our plans, but the ideal opportunity presented itself for the team, our investors and customers. We had to consider it. After seven months of an intense sale process, we are delighted. We work with complete freedom and the advantage of having a partner that understands what we do”, Javier Fontevilla, co-founder and co-CEO of Holded.
“One of the keys of the successful sale of Deporvillage was the execution and determination that we had during the company’s entire growth process. We had the ambition of going step by step, but also of being proactive in the sale process”, says Xavier Pladellorens, founder and CEO of Deporvillage.

During the session, attendees could delve into the payment platform solutions, such as TPV Virtual, Pay By Link, Call TPV, Pay by QR, Marketplace, Escrow, among others. “Biometric factors help us minimise these payment frictions.
