20 May 2026

Last May 12, we held a new edition of Startup Huddle at the Service Center of the Castellar del Vallès Town Hall, a participatory space where entrepreneurs share the challenges of their projects and receive feedback, ideas, and support from the community. The event brought together professionals, members of the mentoring community, and people interested in entrepreneurship for a morning full of learning and meaningful connections.

Companies presenting real challenges

During the session, two companies shared their projects and current challenges with attendees:

BS Mecanizados, with Juanjo Salido Siles as founder

A company specialized in industrial machining, with CNC technology and experience across different sectors, providing technical solutions for machinery manufacturers and engineering companies. The discussion around the project focused on challenges related to industrial growth, standing out in a highly specialized sector, and attracting new business opportunities, as well as the importance of building partnerships and delivering value beyond technical services.

Essència Comunicació, with Elisenda Ventura Vinyals as founder

An agency specialized in communication strategy and digital marketing, offering services in social media management, design, web development, and SEO positioning. The discussion focused on topics related to brand positioning, value proposition, and communication strategies in an increasingly dynamic and competitive digital environment, sharing experiences on how to create impact and meaningful connections with clients.

As usual, the session concluded with a networking space, providing an opportunity to continue sharing ideas, creating new connections, and strengthening the community.

From Autoocupació, we would like to thank all participants for their energy, contributions, and enthusiasm in continuing to support and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
