Ricard Garriga

As the Founder and CEO of Trioteca, I proudly lead a pioneering enterprise in Spain's home loan market. Our highly skilled and passionate team has established a transparent and impartial platform, solidifying itself as an essential bridge between prospective homeowners and financial institutions. With over 17 years of experience in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, my focus has been on strategy, startup development, and investment, deepening my understanding of the mortgage market and the needs of our users. Prior to my venture with Trioteca, I co-founded Menorca Millennials, recognized as the world's first startup decelerator, where we supported Series A global companies in scaling and attracting top-tier investors. My experience also extends to my role as Head of Startup Strategy at YouNoodle in Silicon Valley, where I led open innovation projects and talent attraction programs for large corporations and governments. My academic background includes a degree in Telecommunications Engineering and an MBA from La Salle Business School and Manhattan College New York. I furthered my studies with the Venture Capital Program at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, benefiting from mentorship by experts such as Steve Blank and Jerry Engel. I have been recognized as one of the TOP100 Economic Leaders of Tomorrow in Spain by the Choiseul Academy in 2017 and 2018 and hold the BetterBoss executive certification from Raw Signal Group. My personal life is balanced with my dedication to family, a passion for motorbikes, and downhill cycling, integrating the intensity of my professional life with my personal interests.
