First Tuesday – an event to meet successful entrepreneurs

First Tuesday is a benchmark event where you can meet successful men and women entrepreneurs every month.

I dedicated a post to them in 2009, and in 2019 they’re still encouraging us to start up, event after event, thanks to the advice of others who made it before.

Barcelona is First Tuesday’s usual home, but thanks to the support of BStartup it’s also held regularly in Madrid. Another important point is the Agora News live stream, so you won’t miss it wherever you are.

So be sure to visit the Agora News channel and enjoy great masters such as François Derbaix, for example.

I’ve been a fan of François, co-founder of TOP RURAL, for years, but there are many more key figures in the entrepreneurial ecosystem you can meet in person at their events, so I encourage you to go along to their Madrid or Barcelona editions.

Carlos Blanco, with his particular direct, no-holds-barred style, knows how to get the best out of his guests: everything they’ve learnt, their hardest moments as entrepreneurs and their best ones when there’s been an exit.

I’m certainly a regular at this event, and not only for its star guests: you can also meet mentors and investors from Conector, Carlos Blanco’s accelerator, as well as plenty of regulars, other investors and entrepreneurs, and like-minded people from the Spanish entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The next one in Madrid will feature the founder of Lingokids, and as I’m passionate about EdTech startups, I’ll be there. I even have a Meetup for organising events with EdTech startups, in case you’d like to join.

Cristóbal Viedma has put his startup on the international stage and has successfully led several funding rounds, the latest worth more than €5M. WOW. More than 500 million children under 8 are learning English thanks to his powerful app. I saw them at South Summit 2018 and their success doesn’t surprise me at all.

Here you can get your free ticket to meet him.

As I said, First Tuesday is an event that will bring you closer to the best of the Spanish entrepreneurial ecosystem. You’ll hear the stories of successful entrepreneurs first-hand, learning every step they took to get there.

You’ll come away with fantastic advice so you don’t make the mistakes they made.

You’ll be able to rub shoulders with a good number of investors, business angels and mentors who are also regulars at the event.

You’ll meet other entrepreneurs like you to collaborate with and, finally, other active players who support our entrepreneurial ecosystem.
