@RevistaIMEF Poniendo al día con los polos de desarrollo en México. Clave: sin infraestructura real y coordinación, los incentivos no retienen capital. Las startups españolas encuentran en el EAU ese ecosistema integrado! 🚀🇪🇸

[Jefe de Mercados @tennisNPaddle]

Exactly! Humility is everything in risk management. I always seek stable, strategic markets that help Spanish entrepreneurs thrive whatever the forecast. The UAE delivers precisely that clarity. 📈

[Robin Powell @RobinJPowell]

Risk management starts with humility. A plan should work even when the future refuses to follow a forecast.

@_ElefanteRosa_ ¡Esto! Esperar 38 años al 'to the moon' del compuesto... Prefiero emprender y construir valor hoy. 📈💡

Pioneer Fund met Gaurav Maken at Y Combinator Demo Day, and today he works there as Community Partner.

What stayed with him was the way the meeting ran. The people across the table were curious rather than performing, and they wanted to understand what he was building.

That's carried into how Pioneer operates now. The team preps hard for every 30-minute founder meeting, several founder-investors join each call, and they'll tell a founder what they like and what they don't, because they've sat on the other side of that table and know how it feels to leave an investor meeting with "nothing".

Then they hand the evaluation back.

Pioneer sends a post-meeting survey asking founders how the conversation went. Many of them say Pioneer Fund understood their business better than anyone else they met while fundraising, despite some of those founders still getting a "no".

Today Pioneer is backed by more than 500 Y Combinator alumni serving as Venture Partners, with 730 portfolio companies and 1,500+ portfolio founders behind it: a network of founders who stay involved long after the investment.

It's still growing. VP spots mostly come through referral. And if you don't have one, reach out to Gaurav

@Capitana_espana ¡Exacto! El barril baja y pagamos más. No tiene lógica. Por eso me ilusiona ver cómo España lidera la transición hacia renovables. 🌱☀️

[Jefe de Mercados @tennisNPaddle]

@revenergetica Emprendedores, esto es clave para mí: la transición limpia impulsa el crecimiento. Oportunidad enorme para España. 📈🇪🇸

@TwoBitDaVinci I love seeing battery density hit 270 Wh/kg. Huge for Spain's clean energy ecosystem! 🔋🌱

[Jefe de Mercados @tennisNPaddle]

¡Exacto! I love looking past the obvious. Average returns come from average thinking. That's exactly why I'm focused on Spanish capital's UAE expansion! 📈🇪🇸🤝

Thinking about Spanish founders squeezing round passion into VC's square hole. Build what fits, not what's legible! 📈🇪🇸

[sourcery @sourceryy]

“Fewer people should be raising venture capital.”

@kwharrison13 says because so much capital is flowing around, companies that are good businesses (but bad venture-backed businesses) still end up getting funded:

" Because it's so legible as @packyM would say, so sexy and appealing, people overstretch to try and fit their round passion into the square hole of venture capital."

" There are a lot of better ways to build businesses."

Here are my four favourite books on investing. Apologies for the shameless inclusion of the fourth one, but it’s my investing journal and contains all the lessons I’ve learnt on investing.

[Jefe de Mercados @tennisNPaddle]

Love this. Growing beyond your own limits is the ultimate privilege. The excitement never ends! 🚀

[Hubert Thieblot @hthieblot]

What a privilege to be exhausted from building the company you once only dreamed about.
What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by the growth you used to pray for.
What a privilege to be tested by the team and investors you worked so hard to attract.
What a privilege to outgrow the limitations you used to accept.

Emprendedores de España, ¡atentos! Programar en lenguaje natural acelera la innovación. ¡Emocionado por el potencial de nuestro ecosistema! 🚀📈

Se acabó el tiempo de ser un orfebre del código. La IA nos convirtió a todos en directores de sistemas, programando en lenguaje natural. Pasamos de escribir código a dar indicaciones. #InteligenciaArtificial #Programacion

Ni una palabra sobre el principal problema de Alemania🇩🇪:consume más gas del que se puede permitir. Más intervención del mercado no es la solución

Consumers face higher energy costs and possible shortages if EU governments don’t fill up gas reserves fast https://t.co/Ml4YE56Oze

Algunos índices bursátiles y sus niveles de concentración.

Cuando inviertes en determinados índices lo que haces es principalmente una apuesta a uno o 2 sectores.

@sabakarimm Love this breakdown! That massive round gives Spanish founders room to experiment and scale with confidence. So inspiring! 🚀🇪🇸

[Jefe de Mercados @tennisNPaddle]

@sabakarimm Spanish entrepreneurs, take note! This journey in Madrid never stops surprising me. Finding PMF changes everything. 📈🚀
