In recent years, by luck or necessity, we have experienced a change in our mentality regarding how we relate to the business fabric. We have become familiar with news and experiences that have to do with entrepreneurship, with new companies, with new ways of launching products on the market, the so-called start-ups, etc. In short, our scenario has evolved a lot in a very short time and the culture of entrepreneurship is deeply rooted in our collective imagination.
Traditionally, launching a business to market required a large amount of money. Many entrepreneurs had a good idea, a good Business Plan, but they lacked the funds to start their project. Why? Because the conventional way of obtaining liquidity (banks, relatives, etc.) is not always available. The “start-up” formula is a very topical alternative.
start up
A start-up is an emerging company. We could point out that one of their characteristics is that they are companies with little capital but with a great impact. They are young companies that rely on technology and have rapid growth. The key is to convince others of the benefits of your business so that they invest in your idea.
The start-ups bring to the scene a series of actors who are very fashionable. We refer to the so-called accelerators, incubators or coworking centers. Many of the successful brands in Spain have relied on these engines.
This commitment, very much like Silicon Valley, has transformed our modus operandi and has produced positive changes in many cases: skilled jobs, productivity, etc. Some start-ups with very good results that you surely already know are: Wallapop, Job&Talent, iAhorro, etc.
If you are thinking of starting a start-up, take advantage of the meeting points between entrepreneurs to exchange experiences. Use the available resources and feel free to enter the many contests for entrepreneurs. These competitions not only seek to inject capital, but also serve as a showcase.
