World Premier: Ficod09 Competition Mini-Documentary
Opinno and the Ficod09 team are proud to announce the premier of the Ficod09 Entrepreneurs’ Competition Mini-Documentary! The documentary highlights the final round of the competition, which took place in Madrid, Spain at the annual Ficod conference.
Nearly 50 Digital-media companies were narrowed down to a pool of ten finalists who pitched their ideas to a team of investors, in typical Silicon Valley style, from the United States and Europe.
Meet the teams, meet the investors and hear from each finalist share their experiences from being a part of Spain’s first National Business Plan Competition.
A warm congratulations to each team and a special thanks to our investor friends who joined us from across the pond, Cedric Latessa of Draper Fisher Jurvetson Esprit, Carol Sands of The Halo Fund, Leif Langensand of The Angels’ Forum and Yasaman Baiani of Vantage Point Venture Partners.
Some highlights from the video:
Enrique Lancis, Koliseo: “The competition has been an exceptional idea and wonderfully organized. We need more ideas like this to encourage and foster Spanish start-ups”.
Ignacio Rodríguez Teubal, Betlem: “I´ve really enjoyed watching entrepreneurs responding to queries and questions from investors. They were great”.
Francisco Correro, Social Gaming Platform: “It was the first time we faced an elevator pitch. The result for us has been very positive”.
Jennifer Vela, Subbabel: “It has been very fulfilling meeting other entrepreneurs with similar profiles, networking is fundamental. I thought it was a great idea that the jury was formed by investors”.
Javier Fernández Escribano, Tourist Eye: “Presenting in front of American investors has been tough but very exciting. Taking part in this kind of forum has been very positive”.
Antonio Jurado, Kirmedia: “I´ve known a great range of technologies and start-ups. The experience has been very good, FICOD is growing”.
