Entrepreneurs Break is a community Meetup I co-organize in Barcelona, made by entrepreneurs for other entrepreneurs. Its mission is to become an international reference for the spread of the entrepreneurial culture, while showing the youth that valid alternatives to a corporate job or unemployment exist. Our informal meetings are put together specially for entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, investors, curious students, alumni and whoever is interested in having a nice discussion about entrepreneurship.
This journey stared on the day that I was briefing a university ex-colleague about interesting startup/web events to attend during my Christmas vacation in Lisbon. It ended up in me participating into one of their breaks, as well as being suggested to join Entrepreneurs Break team and bring it to Barcelona on the very same day, together with Joan Viladomat.
