On May 5, Barcelona experienced a glimpse into the future when Barcinno organized Fest-UP!, the first crowd sourced startup festival. Over five years, there were 45 events that took place in 22 venues around the most innovative city in Europe. DRIBBLE DOTS was so delighted to participate in several happenings throughout the week, including providing catering for two events, having a booth for the Expo, and donating our creator, Jason Clevering to Social Media Trainwrecks as the keynote speaker! Check out our recap of Gastromedia in our previous blog!
At the Fest-UP Expo, held in Barcelona's Mobile World Center, we had the opportunity to present DRIBBLE DOTS to other startups, press, investors, and startups supporters throughout the day. Passersby were able to taste each of our edible oils as well as have a word with the co-founders themselves, Jason Clevering and Michelle Fábregas. All in attendance also voted for awards in four categories while we grabbed onto our huevos in anticipation , yearning for one of those coveted plaques.

With such a myriad of events, we had such a blast supporting our peers in the startup community. We love sharing the foodporn love with other companies present such as Rock Your Meal and Foodie Amateur. We must say that the best part of the week was the awards party. Although it was over, you can't deny that Barcelona knows how to party. Finally, we were thrilled to accept the award for "Startup I Wish I Had Thought Of". Our coners for those Fest-UP awards were finally satisfied! (If you don't know what a coner is, watch Episode 4 of Dishing Dribbles). Hearing our company called was such a rewarding moment- this is the first award DRIBBLE DOTS has won! We are incredibly proud to be recognized among a group of such incredible startups.
A special thank you to Sarah (pictured), our unofficial DRIBBLE DOTS ambassador, for helping us man the booth!
We at DRIBBLE DOTS love any excuse to flaunt our food porn. Thanks so much to everyone at Barcinno for giving us another chance to expose ourselves...pun intended!
DRIBBLES AND KISSES!
AND HARDCORE FOODPORN!
