Find out about the entrepreneurial experience of Saye in the FAQS Activa Live

Marta Llaquet, CEO of the start-up, talks about the benefits of having the company hosted in the Glòries Incubator of Barcelona Activa

Barcelona, 26 Feb 2021

Saye is a brand of sustainable sneakers shoes that was born in March 2018 in Barcelona. Settled in the Glòries Incubator, the company distributes its products worldwide thanks to its own e-commerce and has achieved exponential growth since last year. Saye is committed towards ecological materials, with a close and local production, it plants 2 trees for each pair of shoes sold through the NGO We Forest. For the company, all this is a way to go one step further in its commitment towards the environment.

Marta Llaquet, CEO and co-founder of Saye, has been in the FAQS Activa Live to explain all about her experience as an entrepreneur: “The entrepreneurial process is never stable. You must have to have patience and optimism, the first months are the hardest, but you need to know how to take advantage of the digital opportunities of the current context so as to grow and establish new, and more sustainable business models”.

Asked about her stay at the Glòries Incubator, Llaquet stated that it has been key to the development of the company and highlighted the importance of having the opportunity to establish and create synergies with the city's entrepreneurial ecosystem: “Being in the Glòries Incubator has allowed us to give the project a more solid structure and at the same time connect and exchange ideas with other entrepreneurs. It has been very enriching and we recommend everyone to set up in Barcelona Activa’s incubators”.

Saye is one of the many examples of successful businesses that have started out in Barcelona Activa’s facilities. In addition to the incubation services, Barcelona Activa also has a wide range of training and start-up programmes. If you want more information about the Incubators network, click here.
