Founder Fireplace Chat Series Fall 2026 Episode 1 with Josep Casas

Episode 1 with Josep Casas, founder of Europistachios and Food for Joe (ex-Naturitas) In 2014, Josep Casas and Esteban Humet couldn't find a place on the Internet to buy everything they wanted: natural supplements, organic food, natural cosmetics. So they built it. Seven years later, Naturitas was the leading e-commerce company exclusively for players in Spain and Portugal, and was acquired by Uriach. In 2021, it had a turnover of 60 million euros with an EBITDA of 5%, with a catalog of more than 90,000 products and a presence in more than 20 countries. ​Join us in Barcelona and enjoy a fireplace to found LEGNDS together with a civil engineer turned consultant turned operator who grew a market from zero to 60 million euros and sold it to an industrial buyer. ​We go beyond the highlights. Expect Josep to share: • ​What was “zero to 60 million euros in seven years” really like year after year: where did growth really come from and the years that were about to fail it • ​Selling to an industrial buyer, not a fund: how the Uriach process worked, what I would negotiate differently, and what the founders don't quite understand about strategic purchasers • ​Why he returned to physical and hard businesses after leaving it: pet food at Food for Joe, pistachio farms at Europistachios and what is the unitary economy like when there is no margin of software to hide in • ​What you now support as an investor: more than 20 angel investments and your own fund, Real Ventures. What makes you say yes and what makes you approve? ​Open-ended questions and answers: Ask your real questions, not just the polite ones. ​Other Fireplace Chats in this series: • ​Wednesday 11th of November:🛵 Timo Buetefisch – Cooltra: https://web.legnds.app/es/experiences/e2ff14d0-659b-4431-93e4-40815bb4e1fd • ​Tuesday 24th of November:🧓 Fernando Dellepiane – Vermut App: https://web.legnds.app/es/experiences/a42d4ef1-a9a1-4737-9cf8-ab8a09e23db8 • ​Wednesday 2nd of December:🔥 Julieta Rueff – FlamAid: https://web.legnds.app/es/experiences/5cf15a9a-378c-49a2-b47f-c50f69d8bd92
