Barcelona SaaS Founders Meetup

Barcelona SaaS Founders Meetup

Tue, Oct 13, 4:30 PM
From Barcelona SaaS Founders Circle

**Building a SaaS business in Barcelona? Come and meet other founders who are focused on scaling a SaaS in 2026.** This is the second gathering of Barcelona SaaS Founders Circle: an exclusive evening for SaaS founders and cofounders to get to know each other, compare notes and build useful relationships. No panels, or pitch competitions...We'll have a light structure to get the conversations started, followed by time to connect properly. **Who it is for** Founders and cofounders building or running a SaaS product—from actively building and finding first customers to growing an established business. Our core focus is B2B SaaS, but other SaaS founders are welcome when the conversations are relevant. This is not a general business-services networking event. **What to expect** **18:30-18:45:** Arrive, settle in and meet a few people. **18:45-19:05:** A short welcome and introductions in pairs or small groups. **19:05-20:10:** Open conversation with light prompts / suggested topics. **20:10-20:15:** Wrap up and what's next. You can talk about finding customers, product decisions, pricing, hiring, founder-led sales - or simply what building your business is like right now. **The details** Date: **October 13** Time: **18:30–20:15, Barcelona local time** Venue: La Textil Collective (Carrer de Casp, 33B, 08010) Language: **English** Price: **Free to attend; please support La Textil by purchasing a drink or light bite.** Places: **20 founder attendees** **Coming on your own?** Perfectly fine. I will be there to welcome you and introduce you to people. You do not need to arrive knowing anyone. **A few shared expectations** Be generous with your experience, make room for others, and ask before giving advice. Introduce your product without turning the evening into a sales pitch. **Your host** I’m Michael Cummins, and I've worked in the world of SaaS for the last 15 years, at multiple Unicorns - from pre-seed through acquisitions and IPO's. I’m creating this group to build a useful local founder community that's focused on growth. Please RSVP only when you expect to attend. Plans change — just update your RSVP promptly so someone else can use the place. **See you there.**
