Barcelona Entrepreneurs • Speed Networking Night [1st Edition]
Hey fellow entrepreneurs.
This Friday we're doing something different.
Instead of our usual open networking, we're running a **Speed Networking Night** — structured rounds where you meet founder after founder, back to back, no awkward corners, no missed connections.
Designed for founders, creators, solopreneurs, investors, and ambitious builders from our community.
**The plan is simple.**
Show up and tell us what you're looking for — a co-founder, a collaborator, a client, an investor — and we'll do our best to connect you during the night and follow up afterwards.
**⏰ Schedule**
**19:30** – Welcome & quick intro
**19:45** – Speed networking rounds (5–6 min each)
**21:00** – Open networking & reconnections
**23:00** – Wrap-up
**In just 90 minutes, you’ll:**
✔️ Meet 15–20 entrepreneurs
✔️ Share what you’re building
✔️ Find collaborators, partners, clients, or co-founders
✔️ Strengthen your local network
**Come prepared with a short intro:**
— Who you are
— What you’re building
— What kind of connections you’re looking for
**Event Details**
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**LOCATION:** Near Plaza Catalunya (5 mins walk)
**NO LIMIT:** You're welcome to bring friends
**PRICE:** €7 includes a drink

Business Breakfast Venture Building:почему умные деньги — это система, а не кэш
Камерная встреча с Enchant - accelerator and venture studio for AI projects в Барселоне.
Большинство фаундеров мечтает о деньгах, но деньги без инфраструктуры, экспертизы и команды редко превращаются в рост.
Поговорим о том, почему будущие единороги строятся не на инвестициях, а на системах, которые масштабируют бизнес: внутренние процессы, венчурные студии, shared ресурсы и акселераторы нового поколения.

***English***
Are you new in town and looking to meet people in a relaxed, welcoming way?
Join us at Nomad House for an easygoing afternoon designed to help newcomers connect, hang out, and feel at home — followed by an open deck to close the day.
[Sign up as a DJ for the open deck!](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc4xV6kUN9ISBmfR5ZSDJp0mRqKZLQ_zs1-wQzAbqVy6jIw5Q/viewform?usp=header)
At 17:00 we will start ordering or putting pizza's in the oven. Make sure you are on time because they go fast. **No worries about payment Pizza is on the house and completely free!**
At the meetup you can meet other people who are also new to the city (or just open to meeting new faces). No pressure, no formal networking — just good conversations in a cozy space.
As the night progresses, we’ll smoothly transition into more and more of an open deck session, where any DJ can play music and keep the vibe going into the afternoon.
This event is perfect if you:
• Just moved to the city
• Want to meet people in a low-key, friendly setting
• Enjoy music, community vibes, or just feel like dancing
• Are curious about the BENE-FIT community
Location: Nomad House
Music: Open Deck
First time attending?
This event is very first-timer friendly. Many people come alone, and there’s no expectation to “network,” pitch, or know anyone beforehand. You can join conversations at your own pace, grab a seat, and simply enjoy the atmosphere.

A las 17:00 empezaremos a pedir o a meter las pizzas en el horno. Asegúrate de llegar a tiempo porque vuelan. No te preocupes por el pago, **la pizza corre por nuestra cuenta y es completamente gratis**.
En el meetup podrás conocer a otras personas que también son nuevas en la ciudad (o simplemente abiertas a conocer caras nuevas). Sin presión, sin networking formal, solo buenas conversaciones en un espacio acogedor.

Approach anyone, anywhere
Do you ever regret not approaching someone?
It feels like being stuck, but you don't get there by
watching more videos on IG of people approaching women.
You get there by doing it yourself.
Imagine being able to approach anyone anywhere.
The freedom. Confidence. And the amazing feeling of knowing that you won't have to stay single or settle, because when the opportunity arise, you know you can take it.
But it's hard to do by yourself. It takes time, effort and that extra push might be too difficult for you right now.
That's why, this Saturday, Noam and I are going to help you.
We'll meet in Plaça de Catalunya at 15:00 and for two hours, we'll help you overcome your fears, anxiety and whatever thoughts that used to hold you back.
This is a free event, maybe once in a life opportunity for you if you want to finally be able to walk up to anyone and start a conversation.
Once you confirm your attendance, we'll send you the exact location on WhatsApp.
You confirm by texting me on Whatsapp (+47 47311664) that you're in on Saturday.
Any questions, just write me.

Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence
**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence**
What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice?
In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.
Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst.
Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process.
This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices.
**Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti**
Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design.
Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast.
After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills.
In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development.
Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
