Glovo hosted its fourth annual Startup Campus in Barcelona from October 6-8, 2026. The event brought together 19 startups and 33 founders from 11 countries, including Germany, Spain, Kazakhstan, and Kenya. Partners for the initiative included Endeavor Spain, ACCIÓ, BBVA Spark, Encomenda Smart Capital, and the Polish Development Fund.
The program focuses on startups selected through regional PowerUp contests. During the campus pitch final, the AI glasses developer .lumen took first place, followed by Granter and Bleecker Technologies. Glovo operates a €30 million pre-seed vehicle called Yellow, established in late 2023 by Sacha Michaud, Oscar Pierre, and Adam Lasri.
The Yellow fund issues initial checks ranging from €200,000 to €500,000 for startups in Southern Europe and Central and Eastern Europe. Glovo estimates that its ecosystem has produced over 100 alumni-led businesses. Data from Dealroom.co indicates that 35 startups founded by Glovo alumni are valued at €461 million.
Glovo alumni have contributed to a broader network of founder-led companies. For instance, the proptech startup Beanstock, founded by former Glovo executives, raised €12 million in a Series A round in 2022. Additionally, the Endeavor Catalyst fund invested $104.3 million in European tech startups by mid-2026.
