GBO community and initiatives for entrepreneurs.

Startups and entrepreneurship · GBO in Spain

A community for founders.

Discussing a decision with other business owners can open up new perspectives. GBO gives founders a place to meet people, exchange experiences and explore collaborations from anywhere in Spain. In GBO Link, you can choose to create an account or log in.

Your stage as a founder

Give context to your current challenge.

Whether you are validating an idea, developing a product or growing your company, explain where you are, what you want to discuss and which experiences you can share. That makes it easier to start a relevant conversation.

You can discover GBO through GBO Link and explore available gatherings. The physical venue is in Madrid; check the location, format and conditions of each activity. Access and benefits depend on the membership and the event.

Make an informed choice

Start with a specific need.

  1. Explore GBO Link. Choose to create an account or log in, then introduce your project with the information you want to share.
  2. Check the fit. Review what your plan includes and the conditions of each gathering. An account does not confirm an event place, a competition entry or a prize.
  3. Prepare the conversation. Bring a specific question and something you can contribute. Agree how to stay in touch if there is mutual interest.

Taking part in GBO lets you explore professional relationships; it does not guarantee funding, customers, investor introductions or agreements. Ask the team about the conditions of any specific programme that interests you.
