TechHub Madrid holds a special place in our hearts. It opened in June 2015, becoming our sixth global location. Over two years we got to know and support many amazing startups and brilliant entrepreneurs. It was a great privilege to help connections and friendships evolve throughout the community and impact the products and businesses within it.
In a truly startup fashion, external circumstances led us to close TechHub Madrid in May 2017 (we wrote about why here) - the experience was challenging and taught us plenty along the way. We are incredibly proud of our members and thankful that they shared their startup journeys with us. Though the physical location has now closed, its members are still TechHub members and remain part of our global network to this day. Below are just some of the highlights of TechHub Madrid’s incredible two years.
