“This edition was completely different from previous ones. Not only because of the level of the projects, but also because of the energy of the ecosystem and the connections that were created”

The first week of March, Barcelona once again became the center of the global startup ecosystem.

During 4YFN and MWC, thousands of founders, investors, and professionals came together to share ideas and discover new opportunities.

At Bcombinator, we experienced it in the best possible way: surrounded by our community.

From our stand at 4YFN to the event we hosted during the week, which brought together more than 1,100 people from the ecosystem.

Because startups don’t grow alone. They grow thanks to the people who build the ecosystem. 🚀

During the four days of the event, Bcombinator’s stand at 4YFN became a meeting point for founders and professionals across the ecosystem.

We welcomed dozens of founders interested in:

• Learning more about our acceleration program
• Presenting their startups as investment opportunities for investors
• Sharing the current stage of their projects
• Connecting with other entrepreneurs

Beyond the scheduled meetings, many of the most interesting conversations happened spontaneously.

And very often, that’s where something new begins.

In the middle of 4YFN week, we also took a moment for something just as important: coming together as a community.

Portfolio founders, mentors, and Bcombinator partners gathered at Qonto Garden to share conversations and keep building together.

Thanks to Qonto for opening the doors to their space.

Some nights during MWC–4YFN week just hit differently. This was one of them.

More than 1,100 founders, investors, corporates, and ecosystem professionals gathered at the event organized by Bcombinator.

Our VIP Cocktail was a great success: a curated and exclusive space where many of the next collaborations began to take shape.

Más tarde, junto a VTEX, patrocinador principal del Afterwork, organizamos uno de los encuentros más concurridos de toda la semana, reuniendo en una sola noche a gran parte del ecosistema emprendedor.

Because in the end, ecosystems are built this way: people meeting and deciding to build together.

After the event, the real work begins.
