Building Your Technology Castell, Cloud Startup Funding Scene in Europe

Startups have always been a critical force in driving innovation in software and platforms. OpenStack and Docker has spawned a vibrant ecosystem of startups that are finding innovative new ways to serve customer needs and deliver value on top of OpenStack and containers. However, access to capital to support development and growth within these companies is sometimes complicated, but also critical.  

This esteemed panel includes both startups that have been successful in attracting essential capital, and ventures capitalists who are actively investing in OpenStack and container technology startups. The panel will have a particular focus on the funding situation and startup scene in Barcelona and more broadly, in Europe.


What can I expect to learn?

Attendees can expect to hear from the panel of experts that have invested and grown Barcelona's entrepreneurial ecosystem of startups, connecting Spain to the global tech community. They will also hear from European investors that directly invested in OpenStack and containers startups and their funding criteria. This is a must-see for would-be entrepreneurs looking for funding in Europe or for companies looking for partnerships with European startups.
