Narratio has been selected as one of Spain's top three startups.
Yesterday I presented our project at the 5th National Innovatia 8.3 Competition, at the Paraninfo of Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. Nine finalists. Three categories. A jury convened by the Women's Institute, the Ministry of Equality, and Universidade de Santiago de Compostela.
We competed in the Startup category. Five minutes to explain why regulated companies can no longer afford to act on data they can't defend. Why traceability isn't a feature. It's infrastructure.
Standing in that room, I felt something I didn't expect.
No nerves. No pressure. Clarity.
This is exactly the problem worth solving. And this is exactly the moment to solve it.
Later that same day, I joined the conference panel alongside Lorena Pedrós Cayo, from Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Verónica Ramallal Trevín, from Pekecha, and María Inmaculada Muñoz Pliego, from Universidad de A Coruña. We talked about what it really means to build from inside the university ecosystem. The real version. Not the showcase version.
I left Santiago with two things I didn't have before.
A clearer sense of how far we've come in seven months.
And a sharper sense of how far we still want to go.
To the Women's Institute, to Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, and to the whole Innovatia 8.3 team: thank you for building a space where this kind of ambition gets a stage.
The talent that's coming doesn't wait.
