Session 4 Inaki Arrola

I have attended in Enrique Dans class a lecture for Inaki Arrola who is an inspiring young entrepreneur that has a new prospective of what happiness might be for an entrepreneur, he said that for him its better to be with his wife and kids rather than being drawn in work and money like Mark Zakerburg of Facebook because this is what really matters and lasts. He is the founder of http://www.coches.com/  which is an online market place for cars, he also gave us some tips on how to deal with partners and investors, he advised to be totally clear and not late in sharing all the informations regarding the business even its not good news.

Session 8 - Pedro Jareño, from Minube.com

That what Pedro Jareno for Minube.com started his speech in the managing tech startups:This is the story of a dream. This is the story of a world tour very special. On May 5 we embark on a world tour a bit peculiar, a 60-day trip where we will meet and share the wonderful places that have this world, thanks and hand the traveling community and emprendores Minube and Hispanic bloggers who show us their favorite spots, those who inspire them, where they relax, where lost, places to seduce, to hide ... It is the story of minube.com , and Peter Jarecki: Minube partner, journalist, traveler and passionate about Internet and new technologies. Welcome to the world around 2.0 http://vueltaalmundo.minube.com/

Session 3 - Jorge Mata

Well although i don't understand how or what exactly would make some one a good fundraiser and its not just being a super entrepreneur would grant you that but in the case of  Jorge, he Mata initiated his career as entrepreneur with the foundation of My Alert in 1999, a company focused on designing and implementing wireless solutions, including mobile marketing via the mobile phone. In 2001 MyAlert merged with Buongiorno, where he is currently member of the Executive Board of Directors. He is also founder and president of Berg Networks, a company with headquarters in Houston focused on developing social networks through mobile telephony. He is also an investor and has been board member in other tech companies like Navio in California or Future 121 in Finland. One of Jorge's declared passions is to participate in companies that transform the way we do things with mobile telephones. Prior to his entrepreneurial activities, Jorge developed a successful professional career in AT&T& Bell Laboratories, McKinsey, Banco Santander and Broad vision. Not just that, he has been appointed twice technology pioneer by the World Economic Forum in 2001 and 2002. Jorge Mata holds an MS in Physics from Universidad Autonoma (Madrid), and an MBA from New York University (NYC) with distinction. Jorge is fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian. I think Jorge Mata is not just an entrepreneur but he also got the required skills to raise funds when ever he want where ever he want cause after all money is green everywhere as he always say..!!!

Session 2 - Julio Alonso

Much has been said about the rise of social networking as a new source of traffic for all sites. Even supplanting the traditional role has meant traffic from search engines, say from Google. Service adoption and almost ubiquitous appearance of the buttons I like facebook for all kinds of pages seem an obvious sign of thisHowever, if we add the rest of site traffic and compare it with that of Facebook, we can see that in absolute terms is still a ridiculous amount. Is growing very fast, and if it continues to grow at these rates may become relevant, but, today, to places the size of ours, it is not. By the way, so is Twitter. That said, it is also true that, in general, readers bring us better quality than Google. And smaller sites that the disproportion is not as pronounced.
