Begoña Fernández-Cid Bio
As Co-Founder of EasyVC, Begoña pioneers an AI-native approach to fundraising, addressing a critical pain point for founders worldwide: access to capital. Begoña’s entrepreneurial background made her uniquely positioned to solve this problem. Prior to starting EasyVC, Begoña and her team co-founded the VC-backed cloud gaming platform, Nware, to democratize access to video games so that gamers could have the freedom to play any game anywhere, on any device. Nware attracted +1 million users across 120 countries, distinguishing itself as the only cloud gaming platform that enables gamers to bring over 20,000 video games and play them in the cloud. In addition, Nware became the only platform in Europe to sign a global 10-year partnership with Microsoft before the Activision-Blizzard acquisition.
However, through firsthand experience in raising $3 million for Nware, she recognized the process of fundraising as a significant barrier for founders. Her vision with EasyVC is to bridge the gap between founders and investors, by leveraging AI technology to make fundraising easier, faster, and more efficient than ever before.
“We built the world's first AI-powered fundraising tool to level the playing field for all founders. By solving the access problem, we can make a meaningful impact within the startup ecosystem.”
Her commitment, visionary leadership, pursuit of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit make her a deserving nominee for recognition as a standout entrepreneur.
