IESE's annual flagship founder forum at its Barcelona campus — a peer-led two-day format where founders and operators trade frameworks, provocations and questions rather than sit through one-way keynotes. 2026 contributors include James Allen (Bain, Founder's Mentality), Verne Harnish (Scaling Up), Avi Meir (Co-Founder Perk.com / former TravelPerk CEO), Mahendra Ramsinghani, Rachel Turner and Tim Leberecht. Paid, but the calibre of the room and the format make it one of the few founder events in Spain worth blocking two days for.
with Bernat Farrero (CEO & Founder, Itnig)
Weekly Thursday-evening pitch session at Itnig's café in Poblenou (22@). Early-stage founders pitch the Itnig Fund team (Bernat Farrero and partners) for live feedback — you can register to pitch or just sit in. One of the longest-running founder/investor recurring formats in Barcelona; the room is mostly active operators and angels, not students.

Weekly Thursday pitch session at Itnig's café in Poblenou (22@). Same format as the 19 June edition — founders pitch the Itnig Fund team for live feedback in front of a room of active operators and angels. Worth attending more than once if you're a founder looking to refine your pitch; the feedback loop compounds.
