Mauro Ponzè (Cagliari, Italy, 1973) is CEO of Numen Technologies, a cybersecurity solutions developer based in Barcelona. With a degree in Business Administration and more than 20 years of experience in business project management, he has worked in a multitude of sectors and international contexts: Europe (Italy and Spain), Latin America (Brazil, Colombia and Peru), USA and Africa.

“The heterogeneity of my professional experiences, both as a consultant and as a manager, has allowed me to develop skills in the application of business model design methodologies, an area I am constantly researching to update the contents I teach at the University of Cagliari”.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

MP: Numentech’s goal is to develop cyber security solutions that are reliable, accessible and easy to implement, and therefore within the reach of companies that do not have a high level of technical or financial expertise.

TB: A good idea you have had.

MP: Focusing the development of our solutions on a market segment that is increasingly vulnerable and exposed to cybersecurity risks: SMEs. This sector is traditionally the one least served by the main players.

TB: A bad professional experience.

MP: I don’t remember one in particular… Rather, I remember several in which my interlocutors have not been sufficiently transparent or ethical in the development of a project or collaboration. But I still think that a few disappointments – which I have had and will certainly have in the future – will not lead me to change my style of managing relationships.

TB: The best advice you’ve ever been given.

MP: That work always pays off and, therefore, we must trust in the benefits that dedication to work will always bring.

TB: An inspiration.

MP: Tim Brown, CEO of design consultancy IDEO.

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

MP: There are several that will have a very considerable impact, but the one that can really revolutionise our existences is biotechnology. In particular, I am referring to all the applications that have enabled and will enable genetic manipulation for curing diseases, producing sustainable fuels and even creating intelligent tissues.

TB: What are you worried about?

MP: The inability or non-existence of contemporary ‘governances’ to manage the level of global complexity.

TB: A startup.

AG: Circa5000.

TB: A book to recommend.

MP: “Holonomics: Business Where People and Planet Matter” by Simon Robins.

TB: A series, film or song that defines your moment in life.

MP: There are days when I feel like the character Mastroianni in the film “8½”, but fortunately there are many others that remind me of situations from “Hollywood Party”.

TB: A recipe, a meal, a restaurant.

MP: Moqueca. Peruvian. The Uribou.

TB: A city, a journey.

MP: Rio de Janeiro in autumn, New York in spring. Maybe a long one I did in Patagonia…. But there are many of which I have precious memories.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

MP: On a sailing boat.

TB: And a million euros?

MP: In the most interesting projects you find in Circa5000.

TB: If you were not an entrepreneur…

MP: Maybe I would go into teaching and farming.

TB: What is Tech Barcelona for you?

MP: A fantastic hub.

Carles Brunet Medina (Manacor, 2004)

Carles Brunet is self-taught and started programming at the age of 11, and by 13 he was already building websites and multiplatform applications. “I find everything I look for on the internet: that’s why I decided to study cybersecurity, because I like to detect all the insecurities”. At 18, he is the CEO and co-founder of Plaved, which he co-founded with his friend Toni Truyols: it is a remote inspection platform aimed at engineering, architecture and expert firms that is already in the market entry phase. So far they have been financed by boostrapping and with FFF (from family and friends architects, engineers and real estate professionals). After eight months incubated at ParcBIT (Parc Balear d’Innovació i Tecnologia) in Mallorca, Plaved has just landed in Barcelona to “validate with big clients and find new marketing opportunities”. At the moment, he is more concerned about finding customers than investors.

“I consider myself a young entrepreneur, non-conformist, lover of innovation, reading and volleyball. I am studying a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity & Hacking at MSMK University; I have a Professional Certificate in Ethical Hacking (CPHE) from The Security Sentinel, and I never stop learning new things”.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

CB: Plaved’s mission is to refocus site visits and improve the management, supervision and documentation of processes in companies. We mainly focus on architecture, building and property management, although our solution is very transversal.

TB: A good idea you have had.

CB: When I was 15 years old, I did all the integration, installation and migration of the infrastructure of my school (IES Mossèn Alcover) to Google for Education (now Google Workspace) on my own initiative.

TB: A bad professional experience.

CB: Officially, I started working at the age of 16 for a digital and marketing consulting firm in California (on remote). Although I worked with many technologies, it did not bring me the gratification and recognition I had hoped for.

TB: The best advice you’ve ever been given.

CB: Think big. Start small. Learn fast.These are just 6 words that I learned at the beginning of my adventure as an entrepreneur. Basically, it conveys to me the importance of persevering in what you do, but above all, of maximising learning. If the foundations are solid and the start is on the right track, the chances of growth increase significantly.

TB: An inspiration.

CB: Without a doubt, Steve Jobs. He marked my childhood with his way of thinking and his way of presenting innovation to the world. He is a total reference in the professional field, although he is not a reference in the social sphere.

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

CB: In my opinion, everything related to AI and Machine Learning (see: GPT-3, DALL-E 2…), Web3 and machine vision will mark a turning point in our “technology” paradigm. This turnaround is the wave that startups should try to join.

TB: What are you worried about?

CB: Worry is inherent in the development of a startup, and mismanaged uncertainty can be worrying. Other than that, the well-being of my family and social stability are important to me.

TB: A startup (other than your own).

CB: Bi2Rent wants to catapult mid-term rentals and the quality of life of digital nomads.

TB: A book to recommend.

CB: Being a book lover, I have a hard time choosing one, but if I could choose one related to entrepreneurship, it would definitely be “El Método Lean Startup” by Eric Ries, and as a novel, “The Institute” by Stephen King.

TB: A series, film or song that defines your moment in life.

CB: Right now, I feel very identified with “Yggdrasil” by Brothers of Metal. It makes me feel resilient and willing to fight against the obstacles that arise in everyday life.

TB: A recipe, a meal, a restaurant.

CB: Las Carajacas, from Gran Canaria. Liver, in sauce and with a very special touch of spices. As a restaurant: Sa Fonda, in Manacor.

TB: A city, a journey.

CB: Rotterdam, for its modernity, the Dutch way of life and the appearance of the infrastructures. And as a trip, my recurring visit to the Canary Islands, to visit the other half of my roots.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

CB: In helping entrepreneurs in a super early-stage. I would split it into 4 tickets of 25k and choose 4 startups with a good MVP and technology as a base.

TB: And a million euros?

CB: In structured investment in R&D&I against cancer, Multiple Sclerosis and rare diseases.

TB: If you were not an entrepreneur…

CB: I would probably fight to be one of the best members of a Red Team in a technology-based startup, or I would go into cybersecurity consulting on a freelance basis.

TB: What is Tech Barcelona for you?

CB: Although we are still newcomers, I consider it to be the innovation hub of reference in the ecosystem of technology companies in Catalonia and, at the same time, a place where we can grow day by day and share workspace with professionals that allow you not to lose focus and create synergies.

Cai Felip (Barcelona, 1986)

Cai Felip is the CEO and founder of Linking Realities, Barcelona-based startup dedicated to creating full-body personal avatars – or Union Avatars – for the metaverse. The project raised €1.2 million to integrate the avatars into Web3 through “secure digital identifications”.

“I started studying computer science, but I soon ended up creating my own event management company. Without leaving technology aside, in 2017 I founded my first startup, WalkABit, still active under different management. And in 2020 we decided to embark on the Union Avatars project.”

TB: A startup.

CF: Holded or Opground.

TB: A book to recommend.

TB: A series or film or song that defines your moment in life.

CF: “Una Mattina” by Ludovico Einaudi.

TB: A city, a journey.

CF: Kingston, Jamaica. Or a trip to the Philippines.

Aida Galera (Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, 1993)

Aida Galera studied International Business Economics at UPF and began her career as a business consultant at Deloitte and digital transformation at Damm. At the same time, she began to collaborate as a professor of innovation and project management at universities and business schools. It was then that she realised that she wanted to be part of the “current educational change”, focused on “developing the skills and needs of the 21st century”: after studying a master’s degree in Educational Innovation at the UNIR and discovering that in the USA they had been teaching entrepreneurship to children for more than 20 years, she decided to found StartKidsUp, an extracurricular entrepreneurship activity for young people that is offered in schools and coworking spaces in Barcelona.

StartKidsUp is part of eWorks, ESADE’s edtech accelerator.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

AG: To help children and adolescents (6-19 years old) develop the mindset, skills and confidence to create opportunities for themselves and their environment.

TB: A good idea you have had.

AG: When I was 17 years old, I organised afternoon snacks in English with the aim of learning the language in a relaxed way.

TB: A bad professional experience.

AG: My first internship in Paris. The lack of connection with my manager and the language barrier were a learning experience that marked my values as a professional.

TB: The best advice you’ve ever been given.

AG: Better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

TB: An inspiration.

AG: The singer Rosalía. A Catalan, millennial, disruptive woman who takes risks while remaining true to her vision. In moments of doubt or insecurity in my daily life, I think… “What would Rosalía do?”

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

AG:Voice technology for the inclusion of people with low digital literacy, whether they are children, the elderly or people with different capacities.

TB: What are you worried about?

AG: The speed at which life goes by – we have no time to lose!

TB: A startup.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

AG: In the development of three projects created by StartKidsUp children.

TB: And a million euros?

AG: In creating a university for educators at the cutting edge of technology, methodology and innovation.

Astrid Camprubí (Barcelona, 1981)

Trained in Business Administration and MBA by ESADE, in Drama by EÒLIA, and in logistics and time management by “entrepreneur mother of 3 little monsters”. Astrid Camprubí, current CEO of Aqtiva Data Tecnologies, has specialised in the creation, coordination and strategic development of start-ups, their growth in the international market and in the search for funding for their viability. Now, at Aqtiva, her goal is to help companies improve their decision making through data quality analysis.

“I am passionate about people, technology, travelling, music and theatre. And I couldn’t live without doing sport”.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

AC: Helping any company to eliminate bad data easily and flexibly, so they can make strategic decisions based on quality data. “Good data is the new oil.

TB: A good idea you have had.

AC: Be more selective with people and surround myself with people who are motivated, positive and eager to move forward.

TB: A bad professional experience.

AC: I have had some very demanding moments in some of the projects I have been involved in. Instead of calling them “bad”, I prefer to think that they have helped me grow professionally and made me develop new skills. However, I will leave in the “bad” corner all those situations in which I have suffered from differences or undervaluation because of the fact that I am a woman.

TB: The best advice you’ve ever been given.

AC: In life, everything depends only on you. If you want something, go for it and forget the noise around you.

TB: An inspiration.

AC: I am inspired by people who have a purpose and go after it in a persistent and resilient way. I feel fortunate to be surrounded by entrepreneurs who strive every day to bring their solutions to market and build viable and sustainable businesses, even though it is not always easy.

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

AC: We are certainly living a paradigm shift with the emergence of blockchain. I am also excited about the hyper-connectivity of things thanks to 5G and the range of options it offers, especially in the healthcare field.

TB: What are you worried about?

AC: The lack of enthusiasm and effort of the younger generations, as well as their dependence on being validated in networks, or the vulnerability and lack of resources they present in any slightly complicated situation. I think it is essential that we encourage critical thinking more than ever.

TB: A startup.

AC: The Blue Box Biomedical Solutions by Judit Giró, with whom I have had the honour of sharing sessions in the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) programme of Foment del Treball and the US Consulate General in Barcelona.

TB: A book to recommend.

AC: “Aliment” by Martí Sales for its creative virtuosity. And “Les Misèrables”, as an essential classic.

TB: A series or film or song that defines your moment in life.

AC: The film “Little Miss Sunshine”. A race to pursue the dreams of each of the family members.

TB: A recipe, a meal, a restaurant.

AC: As an essential recipe, escudella. A good meal is one you share with people you love and toast with a good natural wine. And, without a doubt, the best restaurant is “Follia” in Sant Joan Despí.

TB: A city, a journey.

AC: A city: Paris. A trip: Bali, for the magic of the place and, above all, for how special it was to travel alone with my mother. Even so, I wouldn’t change my home for the world.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

AC: In startups with a high social impact. Not everything has to have an economic return.

TB: And a million euros?

AC: It would create an efficient fund to promote start-ups to improve the situation of culture.

TB: If you weren’t an entrepreneur…

AC: I would be a film executive producer.

TB: What is Tech Barcelona for you?

AC: It is the essential piece in the startup ecosystem of our country and who, with his good work, puts Barcelona on the map to attract talent and investment.

She is now also involved in the investment world as a partner and executive of Alta Life Sciences, a venture capital fund specialising in life sciences.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

MV: It helps to bring health innovations to the patient. There is excellent science in our country’s research centres. Our role is to participate in translating this science into solutions for patients by providing access to capital, but mainly through strategic and operational support.

TB: A good idea you have had.

MV: Prioritise what makes me feel good about myself. Ideas have value, of course, but success is in their execution. A good idea for me is one that, by carrying it out, allows me to enjoy the day to day, but also to visualise the future impact of my contribution.

TB: A bad professional experience.

MV: Those where decision-making capacity is affected by external interests.

TB: The best advice you’ve ever been given.

MV: The one who works has the knowledge. A bit like the Anglo-Saxon concept of “take the scenic route”. More than arriving, the objective is what you learn along the way. I have tried to look for paths where I could learn, perhaps that is why I have always been involved in projects from the beginning.

TB: An inspiration.

MV: My father. A doctor born into a humble family, with a great vocation, he forged his future with enormous effort and ability. His values are an inspiration to me: integrity, on a personal and professional level; effort, as an indispensable component for success; and passion for work and knowledge.

TB: And a million euros?

MV: Idem.

TB: What is Tech Barcelona for you?

TB: A good idea you have had.

NW: Zoom (virtual) weddings 🙂

TB: A bad professional experience.

NW: There are many. Missing a flight to get to my business meetings. Sending a business proposal with the wrong company name (my excuse was I did it after a long bike ride). Or being unable to connect to a critical call due to bad WiFi.

TB: The best advice you’ve been given.

NW: Follow and trust your instincts.

TB: An inspiration.

NW: Humanity inspires me; most people want to do good, and this is inspiring. Seeing the work doctors and nurses have done, and the selflessness they have.

TB: A startup (that’s not your own)

NW: THIS, a plant-based meat start-up. I would love to know how to replicate and manufacture the taste of meat, and they have created an amazing brand.

TB: What worries you?

NW: Ensuring that the world is equal, promoting diversity, reaching potential. Also, war in Ukraine and the global changes that are happening. Global{M} relocated one of Ukranian employees via the UK government who is now living in Cambridge.

TB: A book to recommend.

NW: I have been compared to Harvey Specter from “Suits”.

TB: A recipe, a meal, a restaurant.

NW: English roast, lamb, and chicken are the best ones!

TB: A city, a trip.

NW: Paris, as it is beautiful and also the city my parents met, so I owe a lot to it.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

NW: Into property.

TB: And a million euros?

NW: I would split it across property, creating and building a new business, investing in European start-ups and creating a small tax efficient investment fund.

TB: If you weren’t an entrepeneur…

NW:  I’d be focused on sports, using my experience gained in my company; working with people, and using data to better understand improvements that can be made.

TB: What is Tech Barcelona for you?

NW: It is a place to meet like minded people, either those working in start-ups, in the start-up ecosystem or founders. I love the diversity of thought, the events and being able to work amongst creative people in tech. We also love to organise Talent Acquisition events in the Urban Tech Campus venues.

TB: A good idea you have had.

FF: Walking Talks: for every call lasting more than ten minutes I go for a walk in the street.

TB: A bad professional experience.

TB: Why your project?

LR: It is a dream that became a reality and is now in a moment of growth and expansion.

TB: A good idea you have had.

LR: To found V3rtice.

TB: A bad professional experience.

LR: In one of the agencies where I worked, the director was too authoritarian and his communication was far different from my way of understanding it. For me, communication has to be human and close, and in the agency where I worked, the values were the opposite.

TB: The best advice you’ve ever been given.

Àlex Ardévol (1994, Barcelona)

Àlex is co-founder, CTO and CPO of Omnios. After finishing his studies in Aeronautical Engineering at UPC, he started his first venture with CLEX, an IoT-based startup, accelerated by ANZA Technet in San Francisco, with a factory in Shenzhen. In other projects, he expanded his skills in Cloud application development, and discovered his passion for Artificial Intelligence, specifically Natural Language Processing technologies.

He currently leads the technical and product department of Omnios, with a team of 15 people, which helps companies such as Alcon, Cuatrecasas or FC Barcelona to optimise processes and make better decisions with solutions based on artificial intelligence.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

AA: Omnios develops solutions using NLP (Natural Language Processing) technologies, a technology that allows processing unstructured information such as videos, texts or audios. This means that our technology is very transversal and can be applied in sectors as diverse as pharmaceuticals, public administration and the legal sector.

TB: A good idea you have had.

AA: Create and promote spaces for technical discussion. These spaces allow the different Omnios teams to work in a more standardised, efficient way that promotes continuous training of developers.

TB: A bad professional experience.

AA: I don’t consider myself to have had a bad professional experience, but I have experienced periods of great stress and tension, which have been really hard. However, I have always learned something new in these situations.

TB: The best advice you’ve ever been given.

AA: “Build The Right Thing and Build the Thing Right”. In many cases, profiles with the ability to build products are thrown into developing and perfecting products that may not have a market fit. It is worth going through a validation process before hitting the first key.

TB: An inspiration.

AA: Elon Musk, for the background to his projects.

TB: A start-up (other than your own).

AA: Oliva. For his focus on providing support in the area of mental health to workers and company managers.

TB: And a million euros?

AA: In Heura. It will revolutionise the world of food and environmentalism.

TB: If you weren’t an entrepreneur…

AA: He would be a professional bachata dancer.

TB: What is Tech Barcelona for you?

AA: A space for sharing knowledge, connecting with other entrepreneurs and allowing Barcelona startups to make themselves known and position themselves on the international scene. Its work to create synergies between corporates and startups is also very relevant.
