Our Ambassadors

Amazing individuals that lived the SE experience in Silicon Valley

The best part of Startup Embassy are the people who have joined us at some point. They have become way more than guests, they are friends now. Some of them got funded, some joined forces for new startups, some run a successful kickstarter campaign, some got accepted to YCombinator or 500 startups,  some of them learned how to cook an omelette and some just can’t stop thinking about coming back… In any of those cases, we remember them all and wish someday we are going to meet them again in some other exciting part of the world. We call them ambassadors.

  • GET INSPIRED – GET NETWORKED – ENJOY COMFORT This place is has a story to tell, people to meet, and comfort to enjoy. Carlos & Jordi are truly great hosts, and place is very well crafted as confortable work & rest environment, with lots of light, beautiful garden, spacious and modern open space and comfy rooms. But most importantly you will have a chance to meet great people, hear their stories, tell yours, and find new ideas & inspiration. And if you are lucky enough, you may meet Mark Zuckerberg in the city, as I did. Definitely coming back here when I am in the Valleywood again.

  • Startup Embassy is THE place to stay in Silicon Valley. If you are a tech entrepreneur and you like meeting people from all around the world you would love staying here and you won´t regret it. I stayed here for 2 weeks and had a great time. Price/Quality can´t be beaten, plus the networking opportunities are huge. The place is really clean and very well located but I´ll definitely recommend you to rent a car/bike. I´m already missing the place and really look forward to come back soon.

    The co-working space is good, the couches are comfortable, the Wi-Fi is fast and there is a shared printer.

  • Start-up embassy is the place to be in silicon valley, an experience for life and a place to meet the most amazing and visionary dreamers you will ever meet. I ended up grabbing japanese noodles in mountain view with a chinese, an indian, a mexican, a US, an Irish and a french guy and talking about their different start-ups, and people sharing their stories of getting tips from mark zuckerberg about their start-up or trick-or-treating larry page on halloween.

  • Perfect startup experience & atmosphere! Very cool and helpful host! Superb when You plan to work & live in Palo Alto neighborhood.

  • My 4-day trip to Palo Alto was totally enriched by this experience. Both Jordi and Carlos are great hosts who made me feel welcome immediately, and all the guests at the StartUp Embassy were polite, humorous, hard-working and friendly. The lodging was comfortable, clean, spacious (with lots of outdoor light) with a nice little garden for barbecues. If you are wondering where to stay in Palo Alto to feel the entrepreneurial energy of Silicon Valley, look no further–this is the place. In fact, I learned more in 2 hours of conversing with my housemates than I did at a 14-hour course at Stanford! The only thing I didn’t like is that I didn’t get to try Carlos Spanish Paella! Well done guys. Nos vemos pronto!

  • Startup Embassy was a fabulous experience and Jordi was a great host. As far as the facilities/house goes it was exactly what was advertised. Free parking, wifi, clean and organized place. But most awesome thing was the the environment at the house! It is very welcoming. Just within a few days time met with many like minded people who are enthusiastic and passionate about tech and entrepreneurship. Most chats started as “hey what are you up to?” then turned into super interesting hour long talks. Great way to expand your horizon. Honestly, I wish every city I visit had a Startup Embassy 😉

  • Loved every minute of it! The bbq, with good friends, paella, 4th of July madness, impromptu magician, of course! But also breakfast and sharing a meal with great entrepreneurs, amazing conversations, sharing experiences and enthusiasm with people from over the world. It was so intense! A lot of the success of my stay in the Bay Area has been thanks to this place. I would call it “the serendipity house”!

    — Nicolas - France —
  • Very friendly and extremely helpful. Their idea of creating a hub for start-up entrepreneurs is brilliant.

    — Desmond - USA —
  • All entrepreneurs traveling to the Bay Area should stay here. It’s far better than staying in a hotel. You will get to meet with other entrepreneurs staying there and working on some cool stuff.

  • Amazing time. A wonderful host and a great positive energy in the house. Enjoyed many great conversations and was a perfect home away from home while staying in the valley. Would recommend it to any entrepreneur looking to visit Palo Alto to work on their startup. Was sad to leave, and will definitely visit again.

    — Michael - Argentina —
  • Clara and Carlos are the best hosts ever. The house is not just a living and sleeping place, they’ve created a special community feeling for start ups looking for luck and success in the Bay Area. The house is huge and incredible clean. Beautiful garden with fruit trees, large living room with enough place for everyone to work, relax and communicate, top grill parties and Carlos’ super delicious Paela makes this location very very special. If you want to know the Silicon Valley Carlos’ Startup Embassy is the must. In this place there are so many promising Startups working in the same room with you together and who knows probably one of them is the next Google, Facebook or Airbnb.
