My first startup

The 27th of January 2012 my friend Alberto Elías and I created our first startup.

We have been working on it since we met in 2011, when we had two awesome ideas that will change the way we interact with technology (I’ll let you know soon).

I have some experience creating projects and making them succeed (as Asturix), but it’s the first startup I create and I’m very excited about it. It’s a challenge.

Creating a startup in Spain is difficult, we had to fight versus the bureaucracy and the closed mind of the spanish society.

As an anecdote, the first notary we called thought that we were planning to launder money, because we are under age (yeah, we thought something like “WTF?”).

If we didn’t have enough problems, we are separated by 800km (Alberto lives in Murcia and I live in Oviedo) but we solved it using Google Docs and making videoconferences almost every day.

In the following months after we met we created our business plan (thanks to CEEI).

Thanks to CEEIM we have a social address.

And thanks to all the people supporting us we are the happiest teens in the world.

We expect to have something to show you in the following two weeks.

Meanwhile, stay tuned!
