Cycling enthusiast & E-commerce Jedi. Telling a story of how I'm trying to build a global company living abroad.

Dear Spanish entrepreneur, I want to talk to you. Especially if you're into launching a startup related to cycling, e-commerce and marketplaces, and even more so, if you live in Catalunya. Pandemic made it really difficult to integrate and find support in local startup ecosystem.

It just shouldn’t be like this in XXI century. I have spent 30 minutes trying to get 1 cita to get vaccinated with 30 SMS confirmation codes and no result. Why? 😭

@salutcat can I help your IT team somehow to figure it out?

Reminded me a good phrase:

If you work to live, why work to death?

[Eneko Knorr ➡️ Stabolut @enekoknorr]

Pagar por trabajar? Sí, pagar por trabajar

[Paul Gorbach @paul_gorbach]

It’s a huge challenge to raise from Spanish investors, but the ecosystem for startups helping you to get money elsewhere is awesome.

Vive España 🇪🇸

I noticed that so many people in the cycling industry look older than they in fact are.

Maybe the life gets shorter when you enjoy it so much?

[Paul Gorbach @paul_gorbach]

@javilop @javilop oops! I’m really sorry man, you got me wrong 😰 It was a joke and I was kidding. And of course I’m still grateful for your help and thanks to you I have already found some really nice people to help me! 🙌

Please don’t be mad, I’m sincerely sorry 🖖

I’m amazed how effective Apple Developer Programm support and services around it are here

I’ve got D-U-N-S and converted my Individual account to Organizational within 12 hours, 8 of which I slept
@AppleSupport 👏

Last time I did it in Moscow it took 6 months 🤷‍♀️

Let’s convince pro athletes to invest in sports tech startups
a) it’s an area they understand
b) they dramatically increase startup’s chances of success

If a sport tech fund doesn’t have a list of pro athletes advisors/investors it should not be named sport tech fund PERIOD
