Barcelona Founders Forge #2: Meet Your Cofounder IRL
Skip the cold DMs and meet your future cofounder in person.
We started Barcelona Founders Forge because we believe good founding teams are built through real conversations, not endless online outreach or awkward networking small talk.
On November 24th, we're bringing together a small group of founders, builders and people looking to start something for an in-person cofounder matchmaking session in Barcelona.
The idea is simple: bring together people with different skills, interests and experiences who might be a good fit to build something together.
No pitches or forced networking.
We've planned a simple format to help people get to know each other, start meaningful conversations and see who they might click with.
Who should apply?
We're looking for people with different skills, backgrounds and perspectives who are interested in building something together.
Engineering / Technical
Product / Design
Growth / Sales / GTM
Operations / Finance / Legal
You don't need to have a company or a fully formed idea. You should, however, have something meaningful to bring to a founding team and be genuinely open to finding the right people to build with.
How does registration work?
We're keeping the group small. The goal isn't to get as many people into a room as possible, but to bring together a good mix of people who could genuinely complement each other.
1. Apply on Luma
Fill in the application and answer four quick questions by selecting the options that best reflect your background, skills and what you're looking for.
Applying doesn't automatically guarantee a spot. We'll contact selected applicants after reviewing the applications.
2. We review applications
We'll look at the overall group and select participants based on their experience, interests and the mix of profiles.
3. Get confirmed
If selected, you'll receive a payment link for the €5 confirmation fee. This helps make sure people are serious about attending and discourages last-minute cancellations and no-shows. We want to make the most of everyone's time and bring together people who are genuinely committed to meeting potential cofounders. Once payment is complete, your place will be confirmed on Luma.
If you've been thinking about finding a cofounder, this is a good place to start.
Come meet the people you might build your next venture with.
