Good morning,

We'd like to begin by offering our deepest sympathies and condolences to all those affected by the attacks in Barcelona. It has been an exceptionally difficult time, however I'm so proud and encouraged by Barcelona's immediate and positive response in the face of terror. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers and supporters rallying behind our amazing and resilient city. THAT is how August 2017 will be remembered.

With that we welcome everyone back from their summer holidays and look forward to a record breaking close of the year! As always, Barcinno will keep you up-to-date with the latest news, events and happenings in the greatest startup ecosystem in the world!

Thank you for your continued support and have a great week!
