Honestly, watching the Barcelona team crush it all weekend was the best part – pure creativity, zero sleep, maximum vibes 💡 Soooooo proud of all of the 9 Star Entrepreneurs ✨ They gave up their weekend, worked nonstop, did not sleep, struggled with language barriers, and still came out with amazing projects and great vibes. 🔥 And most importantly, they met engineers, code developers, designers, and built real startups (some very promising, and investable)  Not to mention getting on podium with the 2nd prize!!!  The rest of you who skipped it… you seriously missed out!  Sign up for the next event!  #StartupWeekend


I’m soooo proud! the organizers said on stage that they admire the Barcelona team for coming from far, making the linguistic effort to work in French, giving their best, and producing amazing results! we got applauded a lot 👏🏼
 ¡and the best is that the winning team (2nd place) – they really made friends with the 3 code developers, and they made arrangements to formalize the startup and launch soon, in Barcelona! and the Tristan and Karen team got offered equity in the rental passport startup.

Congratulations!

Startup Weekend was a fulfilling event where all participants put their knowledge into practice and learned through experience. Undoubtedly, it was a pivotal weekend for our students’ future career growth. They will surely remember it with pride. Congratulations to all the students who took part!

See you next year!
