Partners

Help the house exist.

BARRACA Founders House is an independent initiative, run by people who have been in the sector for years. Our partners bring the spaces, the tools, the infrastructure and the resources that keep the door free.

We don't want a wall full of logos. We're looking for a few organisations, for the long run: the ones that can help make possible something to be proud of in five years' time.

Sessions in València · looking for our first partners

01

What being a partner means

A BARRACA partner helps put together a space worth being in, for the people making companies, products and technology from València.

The relationship begins with the answer to a question: What can we make possible together that wouldn't happen otherwise? Access to infrastructure, a space with character, food and drink so the conversation keeps going, covering the travel expenses of an exceptional individual...

The one condition is that whatever you bring makes the experience better for the people who came to build.

02

Ways to work together

Host a session

Open up an office, a workshop, a rooftop or any space with character that fits 30 to 100 people. It has to work for conversation, for demos and for actual work; ideally with a layout that looks nothing like a traditional conference.

Equip the builders

Bring cloud credits, APIs, models, hardware, data, developer tools or engineering support for a build night or a hackathon. Tools are there to be built with, that same night.

Bring someone extraordinary

Help us bring a founder, engineer, researcher or product leader to València with something you can't hear anywhere else. The final editorial call always stays with the house.

Make the after possible

Food, coffee, beer, music, transport or production. The informal half of the night is where most of the relationships start, so it counts as much as the programme, or more.

Support a season

Fund several sessions so the house keeps its frequency, its independence and its free door. Season deals are few, and they're kept for organisations that fit perfectly with the house.

There are no tiers: every deal gets written on its own, around what you can bring and what the house needs at the time.

03

What a partner gets

  • A quiet credit line: supported by.
  • A mention on the site and in the session's liner notes.
  • Invitations for the actual builders and relevant people on your team.
  • The chance to open your space or share your technology with the house.
  • Standing next to the people making products and companies from València.
  • A write-up afterwards with the projects, demos and outcomes (that can be made public).

Visibility is real, but it's never the product of the collaboration.

04

What money can't buy

  • A sales keynote.
  • A panel built around your brand.
  • Stage time.
  • Control over the programme or over the guest list.
  • Access to the attendee database.
  • Mandatory lead capture.
  • A VIP area away from the rest of the room.
  • A session renamed after the sponsor.

If someone from your team ends up on the programme, it's because they have something exceptional to show, under the same rules as every other guest.

05

Who fits the house

  • Technology companies and product teams.
  • Infrastructure platforms and developer tools.
  • Companies that can bring hardware, compute, models or data to build something.
  • Technical, cultural and industrial spaces.
  • Valencian brands from hospitality, music and nightlife.
  • Organisations that want to back technical talent and let the conversation go where it goes.

Fit shows up fast: this works when you care more about the community than about the photo. If what you need is lead generation, stage time or a brand showcase, there are better formats than this one.

Tell us what you want to back.

Tell us who you are and what you can bring: space, tools, people or budget. We'll tell you what we're putting together and send you the numbers.
