Senior team
Madrid has consolidated its position as Spain's most active startup hub, surpassing Barcelona in investment and number of rounds over the past three years. The ecosystem includes top-tier funds — Atomico, Balderton, K Fund, Samaipata —, corporate ventures from major Spanish corporations, and a growing base of senior technical talent. For a tech startup in Madrid, the context has never been better — and the technical bar has never been higher.
Dribba works with startups in Madrid to build their first product, scale a platform that has found traction, or fix an architecture that can no longer support growth. 100% senior team, a Product Discovery process that eliminates scope ambiguity before budget is committed, and architecture that doesn't generate the technical debt that will slow you down next year. No juniors, no subcontracting.

Frequently asked questions
Madrid has surpassed Barcelona in investment volume and number of rounds in recent years. Key factors include: corporate ventures from major IBEX 35 companies, international funds with Madrid offices (Atomico, Balderton), world-class technical talent from companies like Cabify, Glovo, Jobandtalent and Fever, and a very active accelerator network — Wayra, Lanzadera, Demium — in early stages.
The Product Discovery is a 4-week process that defines the functional scope, technical architecture and fixed budget of the project before development begins. For a startup, this means knowing exactly what will be built, with which technology and for how much — no surprises mid-project. The output is an executable product plan, not a PowerPoint deck.
Yes. We work with clients across Madrid, Barcelona, Andorra and all of Spain in distributed mode. The process is designed for remote work: asynchronous communication, structured sprints, weekly video demos and detailed documentation. Several of our active projects are with Madrid-based startups. Distance is not a factor.
A well-defined MVP with prior Product Discovery costs between €40,000 and €120,000 depending on complexity. The range is wide because scope varies significantly: a mobile app MVP with basic backend can be €40,000–60,000, while an MVP with AI, external integrations or regulatory complexity can reach €100,000–120,000. Discovery eliminates the uncertainty in this range.
