Aticco

aticco.com ↗ ·Barcelona ·Seed

Aticco is a Barcelona-based flexible workspace and innovation ecosystem operating coworking spaces and private offices across Spain and Portugal, with roughly 14 locations in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Lisbon and 7,500+ members from 400+ companies. Beyond workspaces, the group runs Aticco Living (coliving), AticcoLab (startup acceleration and open innovation programmes), Aticco Ventures (a business-angel/VC arm launched in 2023) and the Barcelona Finance Hub. Founded in 2016, it raised €10M in April 2024 from family offices and GCO Activos Inmobiliarios (Grupo Catalana Occidente) for Iberian expansion, and in 2025 opened what it bills as the largest coworking space in Spain and southern Europe. It is a proptech/real-estate operator rather than a venture-backed tech startup.
