One of the main issues with #EmailMarketing is importing databases without proper handling and outreach strategies. Skipping good practices such as creating highly targeted segments, like approaching service providers with a personalized approach, can lead to having 10,000 contacts that will not respond, which is worse than having ten contacts with one interested and qualified lead.

The combined enterprise value (EV) of Spanish startups surpassed €100 billion in 2023. It puts Spain ahead of Norway, Italy or Portugal. The value of Spanish tech is also one of the fastest growing in Europe, not forgetting that France reached €100 billion in combined startup EV six years ago, and Germany nine years ago. With a combined value of $191 billion, only Cambridge’s tech ecosystem alone is almost worth double Spain’s. We have a lot of work to do! #startups #enterprisevalue #ecosystem
