Barcelona's Weekly Tech Update

By Scott From Barcinno • Issue #562

Hello and happy Monday,

With Barcelona’s 404 weather error 🌧️ hopefully now fixed, the ecosystem also has a spring in its step. This week, we report on (more) massive funding for Factorial and other firms, impressive financials from Catalan startups, and big updates for Revolut & Wallapop users.

Enjoy the issue and have a great week! 💥
