At Itnig, we know it\u2019s hard to keep up with all the news and updates flying around. This month, we had the opportunity to have a talk with Oscar Pierre<\/a>, from Badi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oscar<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this week’s podcast<\/a>, we talk about Badi, the startup considered by some as the Tinder of the flatmates. Carlos Pierre tells us how he plans to become the all-in-one room renting solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has raised around \u20ac40M so far and it yet does not have a clear monetisation strategy as its main goal is to become the leading company in a sector traditionally led by agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s not it, we have three other podcasts for you to listen! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startup Inside Stories Podcast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

#113<\/strong>: Eloi G\u00f3mez<\/a>, from Jeff<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this week’s podcast<\/a>, we interview Eloi G\u00f3mez, from Jeff (formerly Mr Jeff). The company started as an online laundry and after a few tweaks and fine-tuning managed to open close to 2000 shops in just two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week the company announced the purchase of the personal training startup Entrenarme<\/a> and the partnership with the hairdresser company Oh My Cut!<\/a> Eloi takes the chance to explain how he plans to turn Jeff into the service superapp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#114 :<\/strong> Alejandro Fresneda<\/a>, from Mr.Noow<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this week’s podcast<\/a>, we take a look at restaurant preorders targetting lunches, an untapped business by the big delivery players. Alejandro Fresneda, founder of Mr. Noow, comes to our studio to explain to us how this works and how they acquire customers with coupons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took this chance to discuss how to balance customer-base growth versus revenue maximisation per user in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#115 :<\/strong> Juan Castillo<\/a>, from Guruwalk<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this week’s podcast<\/a>, we take a look at the Free Tours<\/a>. We invited Juan Castillo, founder and CEO at Guruwalk to explain to us how his company monetizes tours based on tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juan believes his market is monopolistic so there can only be one player and he thinks Guruwalk has the recipe for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

November<\/strong> Startup News & Updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Valencia-based startup Jeff bought Entrename and partner up with Oh My Cut!<\/a> to become a super service app. We took the change to interview its CEO, Eloi G\u00f3mez to explain to us how they manage to run almost 2.000 laundry shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The startup landscape seems to be mostly fintech, but why is every startup a bank these days<\/a>? If you want to try it yourself, here you can find 7 essential books for programmers<\/a>. And hey, you might be wondering what replaces JavaScript, is WeAssembly the beginning of the end?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant-based food startups are spreading all over the world as you may know by the popular Impossible Burger<\/a>. What you might not know is that European startups have joined this phenomenon<\/a> as well. But, how to tell when one of these startups turn into a business<\/a>?

Another startup trend that Europe keeps up with is the e-scooter market as we recently got to know that the Sweedish company VOI raised \u20ac85M<\/a> to lead the sector in Europe. They are candidates to be one of the next unicorns, meanwhile here you can meet the unicorn class of 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week is all about crowdfunding. We tend to focus on VC led funding rounds but some startups are leaning towards the investments of the masses. We got to know that Madrid-based Bnext raised \u20ac3.3M<\/a> in crowdfunding while Barcelona-based ID Finance captured \u20ac5.7M<\/a>.

I know marketing is one of your main hassles but hold on for a second and check these 7 powerful ways to upgrade your email marketing campaigns<\/a> and see why newsletters still work (I hope so!). If you use landings for your campaigns, we also got you covered with this free tool<\/a>. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On another note, Uber ex-CEO Travis Kalanick has sold almost $900M<\/a> in stock after lockup expired bringing his total sell-off to nearly $1B. And complementing that impressive figure, PayPal<\/a> announced the acquisition of the Chrome-extension Honey for $4B<\/a>! They should have tried a coupon code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a couple of things that might help you out. El Referente <\/a>just published a report on initiatives to support startups in Spain<\/a>. And this is how Slack content strategy<\/a> expanded from a single page to a media company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
