You have an idea.
You’re just not sure
if anyone will pay for it.

You have a business idea but you haven’t validated it with real customers yet

You’re stuck in research mode — consuming but not building

You want expert eyes on your idea before you invest 6 months into it

You need a real go-to-market plan — not a template you found on Google

You’re already in the Barcelona Entrepreneurs community and ready to go deeper

You want accountability and momentum — not just information

The Program

Three phases.
One working business.

01
Phase One

Idea Validation

Most founders spend months building something nobody asked for. We compress that into weeks. Together we test your idea against reality.

Customer interview framework
Problem–solution fit scorecard
Validation verdict: go or pivot
02
Phase Two

Expert Advisory

You get direct 1-on-1 time with hand-picked advisors. No theory, no fluff. Real answers from people who’ve been exactly where you are.

Business model stress test
Positioning & offer clarity
Blind spots review
03
Phase Three

GTM Setup

A go-to-market strategy is useless if it sits in a doc. We build yours to be live before you finish the program. Right channel. Right message.

ICP & targeting strategy
First campaign built
Pipeline activated

You leave with a
running business.
Not a plan.

Most programs end with a pitch deck and a certificate. This one ends with your business infrastructure set up, your legal situation sorted, and your first customers in the pipeline. Everything you need to start — done.

Legal Setup Done Right

Autonomo or SL — we help you make the right call for your situation. The wrong choice costs you thousands down the line. We’ve seen it. We make sure it doesn’t happen to you.

Got questions?

FAQs.

Do I need an existing business to join?
No — but you need an idea. The program starts from “I think there’s something here” and takes you to validated and in-market. If you’re completely pre-idea, reach out first and we’ll tell you honestly if you’re ready.
What kind of ideas qualify?
Service businesses, agencies, SaaS, consulting, B2B products. We focus on ideas where customers can be reached and deals can be closed in the short term. We’re not the right fit for hardware or deep-tech pre-revenue plays.
Who are the expert advisors?
Founders and operators who’ve built in your specific space. Not generalist coaches — people who’ve dealt with the exact problems you’re about to face.
What if my idea doesn’t validate?
Then we just saved you 6 months and a lot of money. Killing the wrong idea fast is one of the most valuable outcomes of the program. We’ll work together on a refined direction before you leave.
How much time does this require each week?
Roughly 4–6 hours per week. One structured call, customer conversations or outreach setup depending on phase, and async check-ins. We designed it to fit alongside your current work — not replace it.
Do I need to be in Barcelona?
No. The program is fully remote. That said, if you’re in Barcelona, you’re also welcome at our weekly meetups and community events throughout the month.
