The document discusses the possibility of founding a company and provides advice. It states that founding a company is possible now due to resources like information, events, coworking spaces, and startup ecosystems that provide support. However, it is not easy and requires months of work to create and sell a product while earning money. The market is the world, but it's best to start locally and not limit yourself geographically. The key is to start, keep things simple, fail fast and cheaply to learn, try to earn money, and be flexible to close something that's not working and start again.

- 1. Founding a company: is possible, the moment is now and the market is the world Wilhelm Lappe
- 3. It’s possible • There are thousands of businesses • Do it if you want – It’s difficult: create, manage, sell – You never know what will happen – It’s rewarding
- 4. It’s possible It’s not about being your own boss or getting rich quick
- 5. It’s possible It’s as simple as Lean Startup: •Find a problem •Solve it •Create a product •Find a market •Sell it Make money
- 6. It’s possible But it’s not easy: •It will take months (6-12) •Do you have time/money to do it? •You’ll need to do many things •How are you going to create something without developers? You have to sell
- 7. The moment is now
- 8. The moment is now There’s an ecosystem: • A lot of information, videos, books, courses • There are many events and opportunities for networking • You can find coworkings, Madrid campus…
- 9. The moment is now There’s an ecosystem: • There is support, public and private: incubators, accelerators, small investment • It’s an investment ecosystem: business angels, grants, ENISA, venture capital... but they are different
- 10. The moment is now Make a decision • Freelance, way of life or SME-PYMEs if you growth – You can evolve from one to the other – Freelance can become SME/PYME but neither can become a startup. • Startups: a different business model
- 11. The moment is now Crisis or not: The main question is: is this your moment? – Unemployment: can you survive the next 6-18 months without earning money? – Working: start doing it at nights, there will be a moment when you realize there’s no way to continue doing both simultaneously It’s about cash flow: for business and personal
- 12. The place is the world
- 13. The place is the world Make it international •Your market is the world: nice but not real •B2C means marketing.. And languages and different markets •B2B means culture, visits, maybe local presence… and languages
- 14. The place is the world Start at home: but don’t limit yourself •The easier way is to do where you have experience and support •Maybe Spain is not your market •Usually understand your market and then go abroad
- 15. The place is the world There are opportunities •Do it alone: try to be part of international networks •ICEX •EOI European Coworkings
- 16. The moment is now Be international yourself • Start in English • Don’t limit your market/ -ing to Spain (or to your city).. .that’s only for freelancers • International team • English as language of the company • Maybe international collaborators or distributed work: not easy to manage.
- 17. Conclusions
- 18. Conclusions Working plan •Start it •Keep it simple: fail fast, fail cheap and learn •Try to earn money •If it’s not working, close it, and start something new (be patient, but not inflexible)
- 19. I’m ready to believe in me @electricnana have fun!
