Prepared for Eurapp, June 2013

Tyba reimaginesjunior recruitment

Tyba is an early-stage startup based in Madrid• Opened our offices September

2011 in Madrid, Spain

• 10 person team from 6 different

countries

• Growing to 20+ people this year

• Currently in the process of closing

a >1mm seed round

(announcement coming soon)

Key measures for success

• Viral growth factor

• # of people placed in jobs &

internships

• Key companies on board per

geography

• Penetration rate within key

universities

• Key people in Tyba’s talent

pipeline

• Securing public funding

Tyba’s #1 challenge in Madrid is recruiting engineering talent• Top talent in Spain is difficult to

reach out to and attract to startups

• We see a switch in mentality that

more young engineers choose

startups vs. corporates, so that

they “can have an impact on the

product”

However, it is still early-days

We see huge potential to build talent-bridges between countries in the EU • To expand our talent pool we

decided to start building talent

bridges:

Starting with Portugal-Spain:

• Hosting hackathon events

(first one 4-7th July in Lisbon)

• Reaching out to local

developer communities

• Improving communication

between the cities
