A Hackers@UPC event that wants to connect startups with students reversing the traditional dynamic of recruitment for fast-paced startups in one of the best regions in Europe, Barcelona.
HackStart reverses the traditional dynamic of recruitment for fast-paced startups in Barcelona
area. We bring 15 of Barcelona’s best growth-stage companies and 75 of UPC's students to the
Sala Agora for a pitch and networking event designed to connect motivated UPC students with
the startup community.
Flipping the traditional career fair on it’s head, we start with a 1-hour
pitch session where each startup will get the chance to pitch their company to students. We then
have a networking event where the students can meet the companies they like best. The result is
an environment that facilitates relationships between the innovative companies and talent they
need to make their vision a reality.
All types of students are welcome to attend and HackStart is advertised as an event for all students. That being said, most of our advertising outreach will be to engineering students.
It you are a startup, please contact us below. We will be in touch with you shortly thereafter with details on how you can be a part of HackStart. If you are an student, please fill the form below.
Startups will have 2 minutes to pitch their companies directly to the students. The goal of the pitch is to tell students about your startup and give students the reason why your company is great to work for.
