Glovo hosts fourth Startup Campus as study values its alumni's start-ups at €461 million

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

Glovo held the fourth edition of its Startup Campus at its Yellow Park headquarters in Barcelona: three days of mentoring, workshops and pitching for 19 start-ups and 33 founders and team members, supported by Endeavor Spain, ACCIÓ and the Polish Development Fund. Co-founders Oscar Pierre and Sacha Michaud led some of the sessions. Since 2023 the programme has hosted 53 start-ups.

One way for a company to measure its influence is to count the people who left it. A study by Delivery Hero and Dealroom.co finds 150 start-ups founded by former staff of Delivery Hero's European brands, worth an estimated €7.5 billion together, which by number makes Delivery Hero Europe's largest "founder factory", ahead of Klarna, Zalando and Spotify. Glovo alumni account for 35 of those companies, valued at about €461 million combined.

The closing pitch contest went to Romania's .lumen, which makes AI-powered navigation glasses for people with visual impairments. Portugal's Granter came second and Spain's Bleecker Technologies third; all three will keep Michaud as a mentor.
