5 Spanish startups to look out for in 2015

Startups are springing up everywhere in Europe at an increasing rate. At the beginning of this year, we took a look at major European countries and tried to come up with a list of 5 startups for each country to look out for in 2015.

e started with Italy and now it’s time for Spain – and it’s been hard to narrow this list down to just five. However, to combat this, we’ve decided to just go with five promising Spanish startups from different sectors. All of them entered the market within the last two years and each of the listed startups has something special to add to the web experience in 2015.
