High-Level Founder Networking in Barcelona: DC BLACK Event Recap

DC BLACK is Dynamite Circle’s private network for 7- and 8-figure founders. Members join for peer-level masterminds, curated events, team professional development, and access to entrepreneurs who understand the unique challenges of scaling at this level.

Our highest-rated DC BLACK event wrapped up in Barcelona at the end of July, with 35 high-level founders getting together for 3 days of big-picture insights, actionable tactics, and unforgettable local experiences.

The goal of every DC BLACK event is to get members together in person for meaningful conversations, business brainstorming, and deeper connections. We’re building a close-knit community in DC BLACK, and events like Barcelona are one of the best ways to do that.

Day 1: Discovery & High-Level Connections

We kicked off the DC BLACK Barcelona event with a unique team challenge — an outdoor escape room through the historic Gothic Quarter. Combining friendly competition with meaningful networking, attendees solved riddles and uncovered clues, building the kind of peer-level connections that make this exclusive entrepreneur community so powerful.

That evening, we gathered at Hotel 1898’s rooftop for a private welcome dinner. Over great food, Spanish wine, and sweeping skyline views, conversations quickly turned into mastermind-style discussions — exactly the kind of high-level business networking DC BLACK is known for.

Day 2: Tactical Insights & Peer-Level Masterminds

The morning started with coffee, conversations, and tactical presentations. Plus, we shared wins from the year and recognized the achievements of fellow members.

One highlight: How to Find Your Retirement Number, where one of the many married business duos in the DC shared exactly how they calculated their number and sold their business accordingly, followed by breakouts for members to find their own.

Afternoon options included a siesta or paintball before we regrouped for a private murder mystery dinner at La Casa de la Seda. It was equal parts strategy, fun, and connection — the perfect environment for founders to swap ideas and form deeper relationships.

Day 3: Big-Picture Strategy & Action Plans

Our final day was all about reflection, bold moves, and next steps for business growth. Sessions included:

Q&A on AI’s impact on labor arbitrage businesses

Member presentations on real-world AI implementation

Masterminds on North Star Metrics for scaling faster

Group discussions on the boldest moves to 10x your business

We closed the event with optional axe throwing followed by a private tapas bar party — Spanish wine, local dishes, and a room full of founders. Even after the event ended the conversations kept going, including a lively AI discussion in the event WhatsApp group long after we’d said our goodbyes.

DC BLACK gives you a seat at the table with founders who understand the challenges and opportunities of running a 7- or 8-figure business. One attendee said it best:

"What’s next when the chase is over? Conversations about identity, purpose, and direction hit different — especially with 35 like-minded people. That kind of setting doesn’t come around often, and it hits deep."

DC BLACK members will get together two more times before 2025 is over:
