Nyfikna Investerare’s annual retreat brings together angel investors, serial entrepreneurs and ecosystem enablers for two days of curated insights, relationship-building, and bold conversations – all set in the vibrant and relaxed atmosphere of The Pool Marbella and Hotel Gran Melia don Pepe.
Each day is designed around a distinct theme to guide the dialogue and ensure value for both speakers and participants.
DAY 1 – Thursday September 25
Theme: The Capital Journey – From Bootstrapping to Exit
This afternoon dives into one of the most pressing questions for founders and early-stage investors: how to navigate the startup capital journey. Through keynotes, panels and roundtables, we explore the strategic choices between bootstrapping, angel funding, venture capital, secondary shares and public markets.
Topics include
- Smart capital strategies at every stage of growth
- Real-world founder stories and investor perspectives
- Secondary markets and democratizing access to growth
- The path to IPO – when and how to prepare
- Macro trends and navigating uncertainty
- Structuring ownership and optimizing tax for angels
- What we’re investing in right now
Format
Welcome Garden Lunch (Don Pepe 13.00-15.00) → Afternoon program (15:30–18:30) at The Pool → Investor Dinner (Don Pepe Erre)
DAY 2 – Friday September 26
Theme: Beyond Capital – Building Value Through Boards, Mentorship & Legacy
Capital is just one side of the equation. Day 2 shifts the focus to the non-monetary levers of value creation: advisory boards, governance, mentorship, and founder support. We explore how experienced investors and entrepreneurs can support companies beyond the balance sheet – and how to build a lasting impact as an angel.
Topics include
- Effective board governance for early-stage companies
- The role of angels as mentors and advisors
- Building inclusive, diverse and high-performing boards
- Cross-border experience-sharing and leadership dynamics
- Legacy and long-term engagement

Morning sessions (9:30–14:00) at The Pool
