Convenience
I have been thinking about this word, convenience, for some time now. If years ago we used to talk about convenience, those conveniences that were achieved in the United States in the seventies, in Spain in the nineties and in Latin America are being achieved now, I believe that now it is time to talk about convenience rather than comfort. In other words, we are no longer pursuing...
One year living BrainSINS
One year ago today I turned to BrainSINS. I had been linked to a greater or lesser extent for three years but just a year ago I joined in full. It has been a wonderful year in terms of work, I have lived on a roller coaster where one week we were shit and the next we were gods. I think in...
Why are startups the pretty girls of the 21st century?
Globalization has brought us two pieces of news, one is good and the other is bad. The good news is that the market is now huge, worldwide, global; the bad news is that competition has also grown. Today it is impossible to compete alone; collaboration and transparency are the hallmarks of this turbulent...
One year working in what I love
Choose a job you like and you won't have to work a single day of your life Confucius I had decided to change jobs long before. Besides the fact that a person whose name I don't want to remember had been harassing me in my job for a year and a half, specifically since an undisputed professional success that...

StartupSpain VI. A spark in the ecosystem
In this post I want to show, in broad strokes, what is our drawing of StartupSpain. A project with the body of a startup to help startups and that we hope to begin to materialize throughout the fall. The era of big public spending is over. Institutions and governments have to be cut back in order to reduce the...
Lemonade. Lots of lemonade. By Jaime Bravo
Startup Spain has to focus on the education of the youngest. Between the ages of 4 and 16 is defined if someone will want to have an entrepreneurial attitude towards life, or opt for a stable job that no longer exists, but the child could see in their parents and teachers. I open a parenthesis...
StartupSpain V. The first conclusions
In early spring 2011, the first conclusions about what the Spanish startup ecosystem was and what it needed came to light. After evaluating the existing actions, it became clear that not only were they not lacking, but that there was a surplus of actions by public institutions for entrepreneurs. The Ministry of Industry has identified, between public and private institutions,...
StartupSpain IV. This is how it all started
In the summer of 2010 we had just won our first soccer World Cup. It was there, almost two years ago, when Chile surprised us all with the announcement of Startup Chile. It was a real audacity but it was full of good vibes and common sense. It became the talk of the events of that time, and shortly after...
