One of COREangels Barcelona's standout portfolio companies, Acqustic, has been turning heads with its impressive achievements. This angel-backed startup is rewriting the rules of the music industry, taking Iñigo Quintero's song, "...Si No Estás," to unprecedented heights. This Spanish gem has not only become the most played song in Spain but has also cracked the prestigious TOP TEN list on the global stage.
When Acqustic took Iñigo Quintero under its wings, the song barely managed 1,000 plays a day. Fast forward, and the numbers have skyrocketed into the millions. It's a testament to the tireless work and dedication of the team at Acqustic and their unwavering support from COREangels Barcelona.
