Spanish entrepreneurs Iván Barrasa and Jorge Branger have reached the top three in the Launchpad startup competition in New York with their AI agency, Amancio. The competition offers a $100,000 cash prize and potential investment of up to $1 million.

Amancio provides an automated sales team for LinkedIn. The software tracks posts and monitors users who show interest in specific profiles, designing the next commercial interaction to facilitate sales meetings. The duo reported securing 40 paying customers within three days of the competition.

For the founders, the stakes are high; they have stated that if they do not win the competition or successfully establish the business, they will return to conventional employment.
