About this event
If you care about backing great founders, learning alongside other women writing checks, or simply finding a more grounded way into angel investing, this lunch is built for you. [Barcelona] Women Investors' Lunch by SIA - June 2026 brings women investors and aspiring investors together in person for a focused midday gathering that makes room for real conversation, useful connections, and shared perspective. About the Event This is an in-person lunch for women interested in angel investing, community, and relationship-building in Barcelona. The format is intentionally social and practical: a meal, a table, and a group of people who want to talk openly about investing, decision-making, opportunities, and the realities of participating in early-stage ecosystems. Rather than a formal conference setup, this event is designed to create the kind of setting where meaningful conversations can actually happen. A lunch format lowers the barrier to entry, gives people time to settle in, and makes it easier to move beyond surface-level networking into more candid discussions about how people invest, what they look for, and where they want to grow. This is especially valuable in a space where many people are still building confidence, expanding access, or looking for peers they genuinely relate to. Whether you already invest actively or are exploring what it would take to begin, the goal is to create a room where you can learn from others, share your own perspective, and leave with stronger connections than you had before you arrived. What to Expect Expect a welcoming, conversational gathering centered around lunch and peer exchange. This is not about sitting through a long series of presentations. It is about making the most of in-person time with other women who are interested in investing and building trusted relationships in the ecosystem. You can expect the experience to include: Introductions and informal networking that make it easier to understand who is in the room Small-group and table conversation around investing experiences, interests, and questions Peer learning through real stories, practical insights, and candid discussion Relationship building with women who may become future collaborators, co-investors, sounding boards, or friends in the space Because the gathering happens over lunch, the pace is naturally more relaxed than a typical evening meetup or stage-led event. That makes it easier to ask thoughtful questions, compare approaches, and have conversations that go beyond quick intros. You may find yourself discussing sourcing, diligence, conviction, portfolio construction, founder support, or simply how others got started and built momentum. There is also value in the informal moments: the side conversation before people sit down, the follow-up question after someone shares their experience, the recognition that someone else has been navigating the same challenges you have. Those are often the interactions that turn a pleasant lunch into a lasting professional connection. Why Attend If you have ever felt that the investing world can be difficult to access, overly transactional, or missing spaces where women can speak candidly with peers, this lunch offers a more useful alternative. It gives you room to build relationships in a setting that feels personal enough for honest conversation and focused enough to make your time worthwhile. You may leave with: A clearer sense of where you fit in the angel investing landscape New perspectives on how others evaluate opportunities and build conviction More confidence to ask questions, share your thesis, or take the next step Meaningful local connections in Barcelona's investor and startup community A stronger peer network you can stay in touch with after the event For experienced investors, the value is not just meeting more people. It is meeting the right people in a format that supports thoughtful exchange. For newer participants, the value is access: access to conversations that are often hard to find, and access to people whose paths can help you see your own more clearly. There is also something powerful about gathering around a table with others who understand that investing is not only about deals. It is also about judgment, curiosity, trust, generosity, and long-term relationships. This lunch makes space for all of that. Practical Details Location: In person in Barcelona, Spain. This is a physical gathering designed for face-to-face conversation, so come ready to engage, introduce yourself, and spend time getting to know the people around you. Date and time: Wednesday, September 9 at 1:00 PM GMT+2. As a lunch event, it fits naturally into the middle of the day and works well for people who want a professional but social format without committing to a full-day program. A few helpful notes for planning: This is a community-focused meetup with a strong networking element The setting is best suited for conversation rather than passive attendance If you are new to the group, that is a strength, not a drawback; the format is designed to be approachable If you already know people in the ecosystem, this is a good opportunity to deepen those relationships in a more relaxed environment If you are looking for a smart, welcoming way to spend a Wednesday lunch in Barcelona with women who are serious about investing and generous in conversation, this is the room to be in.
