Talking travel wellness and healthy business travel in Madrid

This was Sanctifly’s first experience at the legendary South Summit event in Madrid, Spain, and it did not disappoint. We were delighted to be a top 100 finalist, selected from thousands of tech start-ups all over the world.

The week kicked off for me with a speaking slot at Google for start-ups masterclass, attached for hundreds of peer entrepreneurs where I gave my take on 5 key requirements on going from start-up to scale up (Sanctifly did grow from 500 to 1500 locations in the last 12 months, so plenty of experience the draw on!).

The event kicked off on the 2nd in the wonderful Le Nave arena with lots of outdoor breakout areas to enjoy the 28°C weather under the clear blue sky. The event was jam-packed with investors, interesting start-ups and advisers.

Sanctifly had a stand and there wasn’t a quiet moment, lots to follow up calls and meetings this week and thankfully huge interest in what we are aiming to do – change travel habits and downtime of frequent flyers for good. I got the chance to present Sanctifly to a full house as part of the start up competition and share with all the attendees the amazing journey Sanctifly has been on over the last 12 months.

I finished the week with a visit to our new Medford Partner, Square Fitness and joined a HIIT class, OUCH. The pains of being the founder of a wellness start-up! One day I’ll just get a massage!
