Spain is also now home to a number of unicorns, including ride-sharing company Cabify, travel management platform TravelPerk, and rapid grocery delivery company Glovo, since acquired by DeliveryHero. Such founders and their teams have become reputable role models, said Carné, whose latest business is sustainable housing startup 011h. The hope is that their wealth will trickle down and be reinvested, as seen with early employees of Spotify, Skype, and UI Path in other parts of Europe. There is already some evidence of this, with TravelPerk's cofounder Avi Meir investing in Barcelona-based digital real estate platform Wolo. Despite the substantial growth of the ecosystem, it still remains in the shadow of countries like the UK and France where startups landed seven times and three times as much from investors last year respectively. However, Spanish founders, investors, and lawmakers hope that a shift to long-term business models and a concerted effort to clamp down on red tape can help the country close the gap on its European peers. Founders switch to long-term outlook Founders used to scale companies to flip them at Series A, according to Marc Coloma, cofounder of plant-based meat startup Heura. "This has evolved and people are bringing greater support, vision, and ambition," Coloma said of the developing domestic ecosystem. The country is also drawing in impact investors keen on backing companies that can both turn a profit while also providing a tangible good for the environment. French investor Breega opened a Barcelona office earlier this year, citing the city's strong angel network, venture studios, and conferences such as 4 Years From Now and Mobile World Congress, among other things, as a draw. "With the ecosystem maturing and a few startups reaching unicorn or soonicorn status, there will also be an influx of capital and trained talent that's going to help launch the new generation of tech startups," partner Isabella Gallo told said. Nordic impact fund Norrsken is also dabbling in the ecosystem with Norrsken House, a Soho House-esque club and co-working space for up to 800 entrepreneurs that was announced in October. Spain is still lacking in later-stage funding and support, with many startups requiring foreign cash and heading overseas to scale, investors said. TravelPerk, for example, lured cash from DST Global and General Catalyst in its later rounds. Glovo's backers included Lakestar and Mubadala, while Spanish fund Seaya Ventures first handed the company a check in 2016 and has continued to double down on the investment. Meanwhile, now Boston-based fintech Flywire was born in Valencia but moved its headquarters in 2015 . Similarly, Blinkfire Analytics set up shop in Spain's third largest city but is now co-located in Chicago. Spain's largest deals over the past decade involved startups based only in Barcelona and Madrid, according to PitchBook data. However, Bilbao and Valencia are both emerging hotspots, investors and founders told Insider. Barcelona specifically is a "magnet" for second-time founders according to Marc Jordana, who is spearheading Norrsken House Barcelona. TravelPerk, for example, is headed up by Israel-born Meir. The pull is its metropolitan nature and proximity to both beaches and mountains, several sources said. The weather and work-life balance is also a plus, according to Kibo Ventures principal Jordi Vidal. Cutting through red tape
