Whether you're an aspiring founder, a curious tech student, or someone who just knows they want to build something — START Barcelona is the community for you.
We welcome students of all backgrounds — engineering, business, design, medicine, humanities, and everything in between. No startup required to apply. Just ambition.
Being a STARTie opens doors that a university degree alone never could.
Connect with founders, investors, corporate leaders, and a global community of 500+ ambitious students across 21 chapters in 16 countries.
Join a department and lead real projects — from event management and partner acquisition to marketing campaigns and tech development.
The best teams compete at START Summit and START Hack in St. Gallen — pitching and hacking with the best student talent in Europe.
Workshops, startup visits, speaker sessions, and LaunchLab equip you with knowledge that business school doesn't teach.
Our alumni stay connected long after graduation. The friendships formed at START Barcelona last a lifetime.
Over half our members come from non-business disciplines. Diversity of thought is what makes great startups — and great communities.
Our application process is simple and welcoming. We look for motivated people, not polished CVs.
