Today, Spain’s tech companies are securing substantial funding rounds, achieving unicorn status, and responding once again despite economic uncertainty. - **Spain must do more to become a more inclusive and globally competitive home for entrepreneurship.** The percentage of tech companies in Spain with at least one female founder has been shrinking and women often face more barriers in growing their companies. The Startup Law is a solid start for early stage companies, but does not go far enough to support the needs of scaleups. Decision makers should do more to support female-led companies and encourage entrepreneurship as a career path for future generations, and ensure policies are founder-friendly for later-stage companies. - **When successful founders provide support to other founders, the ecosystem thrives.** Scaled companies are more likely to have founders who received support from other tech founders compared to companies that did not scale. Informal mentorship is common, but more robust global connections and participation from successful local founders will help the ecosystem grow. - **Interregional connectivity is important for the development of the ecosystem.** Spain benefits from multiple entrepreneurial hubs, with the highest concentrations in Madrid and Catalonia. The exchange of resources among regions including Valencia, Basque Country, and Andalucia, has helped the tech sector grow. ### About the Data The findings are based on more than 100 interviews with tech entrepreneurs conducted from December 2021 to February 2022, and data on more than 715 companies and their founders. In addition, data was collected on more than 450 support organizations and investors that support the local tech community. --- ### Spain Network Maps Endeavor Insight used social network analysis to visualize the Spain tech sector. This methodology helps trace the flow of people, capital, and information among entrepreneurs, their co-founders, employees, mentors, investors, and other stakeholders. Each bubble on the maps represents either an entrepreneurial company or other type of organization providing resources. The position of the bubble corresponds to the year that it was founded, with older companies on the inner rings and younger companies on the outer rings. The size of a bubble on the map is a function of the number of first-, second-, third-, etc. degree connections that the bubble has with others in the network. Founders who have started multiple companies are represented by their most prominent company or organization. ### Ecosystem Actors and Supporting Systems [![visualization_full_sers_r6_site](https://lp.endeavor.org/hs-fs/hubfs/visualization_full_sers_r6_site.png?width=188&height=180&name=visualization_full_sers_r6_site.png "visualization_full_sers_r6_site")](http://complete.spaintechmap.com/) #### Complete Spain Network The local tech sector is fortunate to have a robust community of entrepreneurs and supporting organizations. Those with the most relative influence appear as the largest bubbles on the map.
