Founders & Coffee: price, who can join and alternatives
Founders & Coffee is a curated morning meetup co-hosted with Itnig at its café in Poblenou. Each edition runs for 90 minutes before the workday, with short rotation rounds so you meet most people in the room, and no panels or pitches. It has run three times since July 2026, including an edition themed around AI founders.
