I’ve been lucky to spend time around some of the best tech companies in the world, and the pattern is always the same: talent gets better when it is surrounded by other ambitious people. That is what Exponential is doing in Spain. The talent was already here. What was missing was the room, the network, and the standard. Exponential is helping more people see that building something global from Spain is not naive. It is possible. Spain has the talent, Exponential is helping connect it.

Santiago Gericke Parga

Director of AI, Techtorch

Two years ago I turned 25 and felt an ache I couldn't name. I had the job. I had the future. But everything I built stayed locked in my laptop. Then I found Go Exponential. I knew it was for me before I finished reading. Since day one, it has changed my life. Today I lead an AI team of 25+ in Silicon Valley. Building here is something you have to live. Everyone is shipping. The community pulls you forward. Exponential didn't give me a credential. It gave me permission. If you feel that ache, apply. It's the signal.

Álvaro Leal

Chief of Staff, Factorial

Exponential has brought together the most exceptional group of individuals of an entire generation. Talks, events, or simply a WhatsApp group laying the foundations of what I have no doubt will be the future talents of this country

Javi Palafox

Founder, HappyRobot

I always new I wanted a different path. I wanted to be closer to cutting edge technologies. Go wherever the future was being built. Be part of it. And then bring that back home. But I had no idea where to start. Exponential is the compass that will guide future generations of builders, a factor that compounds over time creating wealth and prosperity.

Jesus Santos

Co-Founder, Arc

Spanish talent has always been aspirational. We are inspired when by those from our same background doing big things. This ambition has directed talent toward traditional corporate paths, and even the outliers who pursued entrepreneurship often did it with a local mindset. Exponential is the beginning of a new generation and a directional shift for what talent in Spain can become. It is changing ambition from the top down and pushing builders to think globally, proving that Spanish can win at the highest. Extremely grateful to Guli and Dume for making this possible!

Pau Matas Albiol

ML/AI Engineer, HappyRobot

I had been curious about tech and startups for a while when I discovered Exponential at a Barcelona meetup. It showed me I wasn't alone and opened my eyes to the world I was heading into. Despite being ready to jump into entrepreneurship, Guli convinced me that joining a top-tier start up was the best move. It certainly was, thanks to Exponential I decided to join HappyRobot and saw what excellence really looks like. Knowing how it's done, what to aim for, and sharpening my eye isn't just a big learning in the short term but a major advantage for what could be done in the future.

Jose Luis García del Río

Growth, Omnia

Exponential has been one of the most important changes in my life. Thanks to them, I'm at the best moment of my personal and professional life — I couldn't have joined Omnia without their support. Opportunities don't generate themselves — they're created when agents like Exponential bring talent together to make things happen, and they're pulling it off!

Adria Blancafort

Software Engineer, Factorial

Before finding Exponential, ambitious technical people in Spain felt scattered and hard to find. Exponential created a place where builders naturally connect: founders, engineers, researchers, and operators all pushing toward bigger goals. Through the community, I've met incredible people working at some of the best startups in Spain and the US, and those conversations have expanded both my ambition and perspective. What makes Exponential special is the culture: people openly sharing knowledge, helping each other, and genuinely believing Spain can produce world-class founders and companies.

Alejandro Fernández Camello

Cofounder | CTO, ZeroChats

The Exponential Fellowship has given me something I didn't quite expect: a much clearer picture of just how much talent Spain actually has. It's the kind of community that makes you realize the talent isn't the bottleneck. If anything, the Fellowship has made me more optimistic about what Spain could become. We have the people, the ideas, and the drive; what we've been missing is the right environment and the right network to push them further.

Ignacio Navarro Blazquez

Founding Engineer, Tuyo

Exponential is a community where ambition is the bare minimum. It's the push that many young Spaniards needed to realize that we can reach the top, dream big, and turn those dreams into reality. They host talks with highly successful people who share their experiences and lessons, along with sessions on cutting-edge topics. They also act as matchmakers, helping you land a job at a U.S. company. It's about giving the right tools to the right people.

Francisco Salas

Manager, Multiverse Computing

I joined Exponential in 2025 while living abroad to stay connected to Spain’s AI industry. Through the community, I met peers who introduced me to my current role as a Technical Account Manager at Multiverse Computing in Barcelona. This community provided me with the first hand advice that I needed to relocate. Since returning to Spain, they’ve continuously opened me the doors to new events and professionals. I’m usually skeptical of networking groups, but Exponential is genuine. Actually exceptional.

Pedro Reviriego

Catedrático de Universidad, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

Exponential is a unique bridge connecting UPM students and recent graduates with the frenetic world of tech entrepreneurship. They excel at organizing high-impact events that do more than just network, they inspire! These events have been instrumental in fostering a startup mindset, encouraging students to look beyond traditional corporate paths and embrace the transformative potential of early-stage ventures. By providing the tools, mentorship, and ecosystem access required to succeed, Exponential empowers our students to take an active role in the tech economy. It is the community to join!"

Juan Alonso-Allende

Software Engineer, Kibo Ventures

Exponential opened my eyes and made me think bigger. When alone, it's easy to limit yourself to your surroundings. But when you find people who share your ambition and/or have already done what you're trying to do, you suddenly realize you can do it too. By bringing them together, pushing each other further, and competing at the highest level, Exponential will create the next generation of builders and position Spain at the top 🚀.

Victoria Clotet

CPO, Twintual

Exponential has opened so many doors for me. Not only I've met the top 10% of tech entrepreneurship and technical talent in Spain, but I've also made lifelong friendships that will be there to help me for the rest of my professional career.

David Rodriguez Bacelar

Product Engineer, Omnia

Joining a startup means stepping into an environment where you learn fast, take ownership, embrace challenges across different areas, and collaborate with exceptional people. That’s exactly why, at just 23, I decided to take the leap from Inditex to Omnia thanks to Exponential, and it’s a decision that continues to shape my growth every day.

Pablo Berástegui

Student and Consultant, Optimos Tech

Exponential has already had a great impact on me. Through the Launchpad program, I’ve been introduced to some of the most exciting startups in Spain, which has allowed me to learn much more closely about ambitious companies, cutting-edge technologies, and SOTA AI. But the most valuable thing: the community. Full of smart, driven, and curious people who are constantly sharing new tools, opportunities, and insights about what is happening in AI and tech. You know you are in the right place when you're sorrounded by people who are always one step ahead of you.

María Muñoz Pérez

AI Researcher for Health, HGUGM

Exponential is an amazing community. You will meet incredible people, discuss ideas, and hear firsthand stories that prove anything is possible. You just need to fight for it.

When Guli told me what he wanted to build with Exponential, I told him not to do it. Not because I thought it wasn't needed, but because I knew how hard it was going to be. To take on something like this, you have to want it for real. I'm so glad he didn't listen and pushed Exponential forward. Moving to Silicon Valley was the best decision of my career: it opened my mind and taught me to play in the big leagues. Being able to bring that opportunity to new generations is a huge stroke of luck for the Spanish ecosystem.

Sergio Alvarez Leiva

Founder / Investor, Kfund / Tinybird

Exponential is what I wish I’d discovered when I first started building companies. Today, it’s one of the first places I look when hiring talent or meeting the next generation of founders to invest in. But more than that, Exponential is a glimpse into the future seen through the eyes of some of the most talented, ambitious, and curious people of the newer generations.

Santiago Martinez Bragado

Co-Founder, Traza

The impact Exponential has had on my career couldn't be greater. They opened the door to leading the AI side of a New York startup backed by top-tier investors like a16z and Y Combinator, and helped me build the network I needed to confidently take the leap and found my own company, Traza. Today, we're proud to be hiring top Spanish talent and giving back to the community that supported us.

Manuel Martín Morante

Software Engineer, Tinybird

For me, exponential has been life-changing. I joined from the very beginning, and it's let me interview people like Linear's CTO in Valencia, as well as meet exceptional people — some I can now call friends. On top of that, this summer 10 of us from exponential are going to the YC AI Startup School, where we'll get talks from the likes of Nvidia's CEO or OpenAI's, plus an afterwork with Base 10 — an opportunity that wouldn't have been possible without Exponential.

Romulo Garcia Mus

Founding Engineer, Nutsh

Exponential has been a definitive "before and after" in my professional life. Beyond meeting amazing people who give their absolute best every day, the mentorship and interview experience with world-class engineers is an incredible opportunity to learn and gather inspiration. Because of Exponential, I’m now a founding engineer at a startup. It’s the hardest I’ve ever worked, but I’m incredibly fired up about the journey and I feel really connected to the project. Cannot thank the Exponential team enough.

Juan Otálora Alarcón

Product Engineer, MITO AI

I joined Exponential when I was 25. I had never considered going to the US because I thought there was no way to make it happen. Exponential changed everything. I left my 9-to-5 job at a large corpo to join MITO's first team. It's one of the best decisions I've made in my whole life. Now I can actually see myself going to Silicon Valley!

Guillermo Vargas

Customer Success Engineer, Crossmint

Exponential is the community I wish I'd discovered when I was 16 or 17. The amount of talks, people, and initiatives that come out of it would have been unthinkable to me just a few years ago. We've always been sold this story that working at a Silicon Valley startup was impossible or reserved for a chosen few. Thanks to Exponential, you realize how many opportunities are out there for anyone genuinely willing to put their skin in the game.

Felipe Basurto

Cursor Community Europe Lead, Cursor

It all started with Guli sharing a link to apply to Cursor in the Exponential Community. I clicked without knowing what to expect. A few months later, I’ve hosted tons of Cursor events in Madrid, met incredible builders, and built part of one of the most exciting AI communities in the world. Now, my scope has expanded from Madrid to all of Europe. Exponential is the kind of place where opportunities compound. And I’m pretty sure this is just the beginning.

Marcos Hernanz

Software Engineer Intern (Next.js), Vercel

Seeing how other people in the Exponential community got outstanding achievements and moved to SF, it pushed me to do the same and ended up getting a Vercel internship in SF. If it wasn't for the Exponential community, I would have never imagined this was possible.

Diego Sanmartin

Co-founder, Supahost AI

Returning to Spain from building a startup in SF, I thought I was leaving top-tier networking behind. Finding Exponential changed everything. There is a great amount of cracked founders here. Every event acts as a multiplier, leaving me fired up and driven to build something exponential.

Telmo Linacisoro

Consultant, PwC

You often hear the phrase "high talent density" in job interviews, framed as the promise of an environment where you'll grow professionally. But you never think the place where you'll actually connect with people like yourself is through a community like Exponential. For me, it's been a source of inspiration to want to grow more, push myself harder, and realize that the talent in Spain is incredible — we have nothing to envy of other countries. LFG!

Alejandro López Gómez

Associate AI Engineer, Prosper AI

Being part of the community has been the best way to meet people with the same ambitions and interests, both personal and professional. Highly skilled technically, but with their minds set on applying technology to the world — recognizing possibilities and turning them into reality. It was through this community that I landed my position at the company I always wanted to be part of. A place where teams pursue excellence in every detail, and where you develop the ability to move fast, think big, and take ownership from day one.

Alejandro Cañada

Research Assistant, Imperial College

Thanks to exponential, i was able to make it into a fellowship that flies you to SF, meet awesome people and seek for advice when needed. It is truly the best tech/entrepreneurial community in Spain

Gabriel Morán

Computer Engineering Student, UC3M

Before connecting with Exponential, I had little clarity about the direction of my career — what steps to take, what opportunities were available, or how to shape my professional future. They reignited my enthusiasm for starting personal projects, pursuing certifications, and constantly pushing myself to learn and improve. The idea of accessing startups in other countries was something I had never even considered. Now it feels like a real and genuinely exciting opportunity — one I would embrace with confidence.

Sebastián Fernández Medrano

Co-Founder, Bihar Batteries

This is what founders giving back to founders looks like: turning shared support into exponential impact. It's simple, honest, and powerful.

Ismael Romero Ortega

Product Engineer & Obsessive Founder/Builder, Qamarero

Exponential is the community where the cool stuff happens. If there's an event or anything going on in the tech/startup world, you can be sure Exponential is in on it. The people are top-tier and genuinely focused on lifting each other up. One of the best communities/initiatives I've come across.

Miguel García González

Frontend Software Engineer, Santander Group

I just joined this community, but I already feel like I found a place where I will be able to grow much more and faster now, sharing with people that have similar values and technical background. I am pretty sure that in some time, there will be more that I can write here, after joining more events and meetups. Thank you for creating this!

Seeing how other people in the Exponential community got outstanding achievements and moved to SF, it pushed me to do the same and ended up getting a Vercel internship in SF. If it wasn't for the Exponential community, I would have never imagined this was possible.

Diego Sanmartin

Co-founder, Supahost AI

Returning to Spain from building a startup in SF, I thought I was leaving top-tier networking behind. Finding Exponential changed everything. There is a great amount of cracked founders here. Every event acts as a multiplier, leaving me fired up and driven to build something exponential.

Telmo Linacisoro

Consultant, PwC

You often hear the phrase "high talent density" in job interviews, framed as the promise of an environment where you'll grow professionally. But you never think the place where you'll actually connect with people like yourself is through a community like Exponential. For me, it's been a source of inspiration to want to grow more, push myself harder, and realize that the talent in Spain is incredible — we have nothing to envy of other countries. LFG!

Alejandro López Gómez

Associate AI Engineer, Prosper AI

Being part of the community has been the best way to meet people with the same ambitions and interests, both personal and professional. Highly skilled technically, but with their minds set on applying technology to the world — recognizing possibilities and turning them into reality. It was through this community that I landed my position at the company I always wanted to be part of. A place where teams pursue excellence in every detail, and where you develop the ability to move fast, think big, and take ownership from day one.

Alejandro Cañada

Research Assistant, Imperial College

Thanks to exponential, i was able to make it into a fellowship that flies you to SF, meet awesome people and seek for advice when needed. It is truly the best tech/entrepreneurial community in Spain

Gabriel Morán

Computer Engineering Student, UC3M

Before connecting with Exponential, I had little clarity about the direction of my career — what steps to take, what opportunities were available, or how to shape my professional future. They reignited my enthusiasm for starting personal projects, pursuing certifications, and constantly pushing myself to learn and improve. The idea of accessing startups in other countries was something I had never even considered. Now it feels like a real and genuinely exciting opportunity — one I would embrace with confidence.

Sebastián Fernández Medrano

Co-Founder, Bihar Batteries

This is what founders giving back to founders looks like: turning shared support into exponential impact. It's simple, honest, and powerful.

Ismael Romero Ortega

Product Engineer & Obsessive Founder/Builder, Qamarero

Exponential is the community where the cool stuff happens. If there's an event or anything going on in the tech/startup world, you can be sure Exponential is in on it. The people are top-tier and genuinely focused on lifting each other up. One of the best communities/initiatives I've come across.

Miguel García González

Frontend Software Engineer, Santander Group

I just joined this community, but I already feel like I found a place where I will be able to grow much more and faster now, sharing with people that have similar values and technical background. I am pretty sure that in some time, there will be more that I can write here, after joining more events and meetups. Thank you for creating this!

Miguel Carranza

CTO, RevenueCat

When Guli told me what he wanted to build with Exponential, I told him not to do it. Not because I thought it wasn't needed, but because I knew how hard it was going to be. To take on something like this, you have to want it for real. I'm so glad he didn't listen and pushed Exponential forward. Moving to Silicon Valley was the best decision of my career: it opened my mind and taught me to play in the big leagues. Being able to bring that opportunity to new generations is a huge stroke of luck for the Spanish ecosystem.

Sergio Alvarez Leiva

Founder / Investor, Kfund / Tinybird

Exponential is what I wish I’d discovered when I first started building companies. Today, it’s one of the first places I look when hiring talent or meeting the next generation of founders to invest in. But more than that, Exponential is a glimpse into the future seen through the eyes of some of the most talented, ambitious, and curious people of the newer generations.

Santiago Martinez Bragado

Co-Founder, Traza

The impact Exponential has had on my career couldn't be greater. They opened the door to leading the AI side of a New York startup backed by top-tier investors like a16z and Y Combinator, and helped me build the network I needed to confidently take the leap and found my own company, Traza. Today, we're proud to be hiring top Spanish talent and giving back to the community that supported us.

Manuel Martín Morante

Software Engineer, Tinybird

For me, exponential has been life-changing. I joined from the very beginning, and it's let me interview people like Linear's CTO in Valencia, as well as meet exceptional people — some I can now call friends. On top of that, this summer 10 of us from exponential are going to the YC AI Startup School, where we'll get talks from the likes of Nvidia's CEO or OpenAI's, plus an afterwork with Base 10 — an opportunity that wouldn't have been possible without Exponential.

Romulo Garcia Mus

Founding Engineer, Nutsh

Exponential has been a definitive "before and after" in my professional life. Beyond meeting amazing people who give their absolute best every day, the mentorship and interview experience with world-class engineers is an incredible opportunity to learn and gather inspiration. Because of Exponential, I’m now a founding engineer at a startup. It’s the hardest I’ve ever worked, but I’m incredibly fired up about the journey and I feel really connected to the project. Cannot thank the Exponential team enough.

Juan Otálora Alarcón

Product Engineer, MITO AI

I joined Exponential when I was 25. I had never considered going to the US because I thought there was no way to make it happen. Exponential changed everything. I left my 9-to-5 job at a large corpo to join MITO's first team. It's one of the best decisions I've made in my whole life. Now I can actually see myself going to Silicon Valley!

Guillermo Vargas

Customer Success Engineer, Crossmint

Exponential is the community I wish I'd discovered when I was 16 or 17. The amount of talks, people, and initiatives that come out of it would have been unthinkable to me just a few years ago. We've always been sold this story that working at a Silicon Valley startup was impossible or reserved for a chosen few. Thanks to Exponential, you realize how many opportunities are out there for anyone genuinely willing to put their skin in the game.

Felipe Basurto

Cursor Community Europe Lead, Cursor

It all started with Guli sharing a link to apply to Cursor in the Exponential Community. I clicked without knowing what to expect. A few months later, I’ve hosted tons of Cursor events in Madrid, met incredible builders, and built part of one of the most exciting AI communities in the world. Now, my scope has expanded from Madrid to all of Europe. Exponential is the kind of place where opportunities compound. And I’m pretty sure this is just the beginning.

joined a year ago thinking i had to leave spain to build. turns out i just had to find the right room. cracked builders my age, all hungry, all shipping. met the cto of linear, my favourite startup. got into hack europe with other fellows. spain has the talent. exponential is what connects it.

Javi Sanchez

Cofounder, Rebolt

Exponential is the reason why Rebolt exists, without it, I would never have been surrounded by the that contagious ambition or access to capital in San Francisco. It's the best catalyst for young Spaniards to unleash their whole potential. From raising millions in Silicon Valley and entering YC to realizing that we can be #1, even coming from Spain!

Nicolas De Ory Carmona

Founding Engineer, Caspian

Exponential is going to create the next generation of founders in Spain. Exponential gave me the opportunity to work at a top-tier startup in San Francisco. Here you get to meet and learn from the architects of the future — self-driving cars, AI, robots. The best in the world. All in a city the size of Seville. Exponential was a professional turning point for me. They've given me the most important opportunity of my life. My next step will be to build something that changes the world, and in doing so, give back part of what they've given me.

Manuel Suarez

Co Founder, Rebolt AI

Growing up, I felt like I was searching for something that didn't exist in Spain, a community of people who actually wanted to build, not just talk. Exponential didn't just introduce me to those people; it flew me to San Francisco to work alongside them. That trip changed everything. Now I'm building Rebolt with the same energy I found there, and I finally feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Jon Leiñena

Solutions Architect, Multiverse Computing

The Exponential Fellowship community has been the main engine that’s pushed me to aim for things I would have never even tried for by myself. They’ve created a space where talented, ambitious, like-minded people can connect and compound each other. It’s helped me get job offers at top places like Happyrobot or Multiverse - companies that are moving the needle and creating a real impact.

Daniel Kumlin

AI Engineer, Infinitewatch

This community has been invaluable to me in my growth. There is not a higher density of talented engineers / founders in Spain than in exponential. Not only is everyone cracked they are genuinely kind and alot of fun to talk to. Disclaimer only if you are in the tech space :)

Alejandro Buján Pampín

AI Lead, Base10 Partners

I came from Galicia with an interest in tech entrepreneurship, but I saw it as something local and incremental. Exponential shattered that frame. The first thing I understood was that global problems aren't solved by large structures operating on inertia, but by small teams that deliberately build their own path. I learned the importance of generating optionality: choosing well where you work, with whom, and for what. Of mapping out a trajectory years in advance — one that not only shapes you, but also signals something outward, because you will inevitably need external support. And that's where Exponential shines: it brings together profiles you rarely find in the same room, from long-term thinkers to young people on top of the latest trends who push you in the short term. In both cases, what stands out is a culture of sharing processes — successes, mistakes, and hard decisions — alongside real transparency around opportunities and mentorship with the discernment to separate smoke from what could be a true game changer.

Jorge Hermo

Software Engineer, Omnia

For me, exponential has been like a catapult for my professional career. Thanks to the community, I've gone from a corporate environment to working at a startup, and it's been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I think it's essential that spain has these spaces where the talent density is brutal, and where opportunities for young people multiply.

Xuban Ceccon

ML Engineer, Multiverse Computing

Joining Exponential has been a fantastic opportunity. I learn a lot from the community WhatsApp group daily. I've attended a few excellent events in Madrid with top-tier speakers. When I needed help, the community was extremely supportive. I'm impressed by Exponential and where it's going. It's the most competent, high-performing group I've been part of, and I'm 100% sure that future Spanish unicorns will be born from this.

Pablo Senabre

Automation Engineer, Maisa AI

Joining Exponential confirmed for me that Spain was finally starting to build truly incredible things, and that it was the right moment to make the most of all the talent we have here. I don’t think there’s another community with such a high density of talent while still being so approachable and accessible. It also allowed me to meet amazing people, some of whom even helped me land my current job. Huge thanks to everyone involved, and congratulations on all the growth so far.

Jon Ortega

AI engineer, Embat

Exponential has been a real eye-opener and accelerator for me. I’ve met incredibly talented people building amazing things, but when those efforts stay disconnected, the impact is limited. For me, Exponential has been the launchpad to join one of the hottest startups in Spain, connect with other ambitious builders, see what’s truly possible, and push my own ambition to the next level.

Oscar Martinez Cubel

Founder, Built in Europe Newsletter

Exponential has had a huge impact on building ecosystems and talent environments in Spain. It's let me meet some of the brightest technical minds in the country, surround myself with incredible people, and completely shift my mindset about what's possible. Thanks to that, today I have far more ambitious goals. The most valuable part has been being part of a community of people with a real drive to build and think big. Being around people like that forces you to believe more in yourself and what you're capable of.

Guillermo Garabito

Cofounder / COO, Speridlabs

Exponential is a window into talent around the world. An opportunity to discover the philosophy and mechanics behind many of the most interesting startups globally. Spain and San Francisco connected by talent and the ambition to build. An ecosystem of brilliant young people with the intention of revolutionizing industries. Guli is a great ambassador for Spain in San Francisco. And also for San Francisco among Spaniards who are starting a project and want to build something truly global.

Exponentials is a community of young people hungry to grow and take on the world. It makes you rethink everything you thought was impossible for you. It does so through real stories of people who made it, and by surrounding you with young people who think big. Eternally grateful to Guli and the team for building this ecosystem.

Alejandro Carrasco

I am starting a venture and founding a robotics startup, I received help to seek legal resources for my US VISA process to found a company and also got in contact with San Francisco VCs

Francisco Javier Sanchez Vadillo

Thanks to exponential I met a bunch of super cool people who are making me learn more than I’ve could ever imagine. Also I’m building a new company with some friends thanks to a Hackaton we where told on the community. Super grateful for what they’re doing. As a launchpad member, I’ve been having multiple interviews at a pace I would never expected.
