This past Friday Tyba, a startup founded by IE Alumni, presented at the 41st edition of Betabeers Madrid  held at IE’s Area 31. There was a great turnout with just over a hundred in attendance. This was an amazing opportunity for students to learn from the startups who pitched their products and also to learn about strategies for hiring IT professionals.

Betabeers is a monthly meeting for developers of web services, hardware and mobile apps. They hold technical talks, provide opportunities for local startups to introduce themselves and for networking. Their goal is to show startups that you do not need to be based in Silicon Valley to launch exciting projects.
