You’re building your product and believing in success. But unfortunately, statistics are far less romantic than ambition. Whether you have already launched your product and spoken with investors, or you are just exploring a startup idea, join our event where we will discuss why 9 out of 10 startups fail — and how to avoid it.

​During the event, we’ll break down:

• ​5 systemic thinking mistakes that kill projects faster than a cash-flow crisis,

• ​The real reasons startups fail,

• ​A case of a successful startup that reached a $10 billion valuation and went public,

• ​How investors pick startups,

• ​Your startup cases and questions,

• ​Opportunities for non-dilutive funding.

​We hope this event will help you build your startup more successfully!

At InnoIT Consulting, we are pleased to invite you to our next meetup together with SpainClouds, on Tuesday, June 9th at 18:30.

🎙️ Cloud and AI. In production

SUMMARY

We will be joined by:

Edu Borrego (Security Delivery Senior Analyst, Accenture)
Renato Terreros (Innovation Lead, CaixaBank Tech)
Joaquín Gamiz (Microsoft Security Expert, Softeng)

🎙️ Entitlements as Code: access governance for the cloud-native era (Edu Borrego)

Many companies already manage infrastructure as code, but access management still relies on manual processes and key individuals.

Edu will share how to apply cloud-native principles to identity management, permissions, and governance to build systems that are more traceable, auditable, and scalable.

🎙️ AI-ready context: preparing corporate knowledge for intelligent agents (Renato Terreros)

AI doesn’t fail due to lack of models, but due to lack of context.

Renato will talk about how to structure an organization’s internal knowledge so that agents, copilots, and AI solutions actually work in enterprise environments with control, traceability, and real adoption.

🎙️ Production security: automation and real defense in the cloud (Joaquín Gámiz)

Cloud security is not only about protection, but also about fast response and constant visibility.

Joaquín will share a practical perspective on automation, observability, and real defense in modern cloud environments.

After the talks, we’ll move on to networking, with food 🍕 and drinks 🍻.

On May 23rd, get an inside look at the official LEINN degree (Entrepreneurial Leadership and Innovation) from Mondragon University and TeamLabs/.

The session is split into two parts:

1/ Discover LEINN — We’ll introduce the program and its methodology. You’ll also meet LEINN team coaches and current students (LEINNers), and have the chance to ask any questions you have.

2/ Experience LEINN — A hands-on activity designed to bring out your best using the same tools and approaches used in the program day to day. While you take part in the session, your guest will have time to connect with the coaches and continue the conversation.

In this session we’ll explore how to build a fully automated outbound engine, from trigger to sent email.

We’ll start from a CRM segment as the entry point and go through every layer of the system: cascading contact prospecting across multiple providers, ICP-based scoring so only qualified leads get through, AI-driven personalization based on real data (web, LinkedIn, recent news), and automatic enrollment into sequences with pre-written messaging.

We’ll also cover how to close the loop: automatic classification of replies back into the CRM and escalation of non-responses into call tasks for the sales team.

By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how this type of system works, the tools and decisions involved, and how to replicate it within your own stack.

45 minutes. Free.

Important: the event will be held in English.

An exclusive breakfast for senior executives leading the transformation towards AI.

Join a roundtable in an intimate setting, featuring a dynamic exchange of ideas and high-level networking: a confidential environment to share experiences and connect with peers driving AI strategy from the top levels of their organizations — all over breakfast.

Previous editions have welcomed senior executives and board members from Santander, Nestlé, AstraZeneca, HP, and other leading companies.

This breakfast is hosted by Dr. Raoul-Gabriel Urma, Founder and CEO of Cambridge Spark, to introduce the AI Leaders Bootcamp — Barcelona’s leading executive program for leaders driving AI adoption within their organizations.

Places are strictly limited. Attendance is subject to approval.

Location: Barcelona city centre; full address will be shared upon approval.

Most organizations with Microsoft 365 in place still manage a large part of their processes manually. Not due to a lack of tools — but because they don’t realize they already have the solution included in their subscription.

In this webinar, Adrián Cano, Architecture Team & AI-Driven Lead Developer at Itequia, will demonstrate live how to automate corporate processes using SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and AI, without additional Power Platform licenses.

Session highlights:

• What your M365 license includes for process automation
• SPFx vs Power Apps: when each option makes sense
• Real-world cases with AI integrated into development
• How to get started in your organization
