GuruCall is a Madrid-based marketplace for business advice. Entrepreneurs, professionals and companies book one-to-one or one-to-many video calls of 15 to 60 minutes with successful founders, C-level executives and well-known athletes, and the platform also offers more than 250 hours of e-learning content. It runs on iOS, Android and the web. Experts on the platform have included Alejandro Agag (Formula E), Antonio Catalán (NH and AC Hotels), Gloria Lomana (50&50) and Dimas Gimeno (WOW Group). Jose Manuel Peral Cortés and Juan Varela de Limia founded the company in 2020. In September 2021 it raised a €1.4M pre-seed round backed by FJLabs and by angel investors including Félix Ruiz (Tuenti co-founder), Paco Ávila (Medac founder), Hugo Arévalo (The Power MBA co-founder) and Eduardo Sicilia. In January 2022 it extended that round by €500k, led by a Spanish family office, bringing total funding to about €1.9M.
