Summary
Spanish experts explain how artificial intelligence is transforming startup financing. Gorka Muñecas, founder of Junyo, says that small teams supported by AI agents can now develop products and automate tasks (programming, content, support, reporting) that previously required larger organisations, thereby reducing the capital needed to validate a market hypothesis. The article also cites figures on startup financing in the first half of the year (an increase in the number of rounds and in capital raised, with a concentration in mega-rounds). Silvia Bueso, a fundraising expert, details how AI helps prepare fundraising rounds, while warning against mistakes: overly generic texts, delegating listening to the funder to AI, and a false impression of efficiency created by mass-sending standardised proposals.
