I wanted to congratulate some second year Digital Business students at La Salle Campus Barcelona for launching their own digital marketing agencies earlier this year. Arturo Martínez Bellot and Pedro Caila have started a TikTok channel (https://lnkd.in/dMBAk2xb) and Marti Tribo has started his Youtube channel (https://lnkd.in/dmUhkzFv). Both content strategies are what I call the “Expertise Business Model” in entrepreneurship class. The EBM is perfect for students, first time entrepreneurs and even seasoned professionals. The idea is that anyone can leverage specialized knowledge or skills to create value for clients, as long as you are just a little bit ahead of your audience in your niche, or area of specialized knowledge. Arturo and Pedro are creating content to help students use AI and their most popular TikTok has gotten over 13 million views. https://lnkd.in/d2atN4rR Marti’s channel has just a few videos, but he’s documenting his journey and how he already had to pivot his agency in the first year when he realized what his clients really wanted and how to focus his energy on the right market segment to increase lifetime customer value. In the EBM, first you build value by helping others with great content, then you can figure out how to monetize it once you've built an audience in your niche.   If you are interested in seeing what the Expertise Business Model looks like in real time, in its infancy, I encourage you all to follow their accounts and learn how content creation in specific niches can be monetized.

📍 STARTUP HOTSPOT OF THIS ISSUE: MADRID 📍 Spain is often regarded as a startup hotspot, and Barcelona is often people’s first thought when it comes to startup cities, especially as it is known for its big startup events and innovation 👏 However, Spain’s capital city is actually the hottest spot for startups, especially when you take a look at the statistics. Mobile World Capital Barcelona reported that 30% of Spain’s startups reside in Madrid, and 29% in Barcelona. So, whilst one is seen as the more obvious startup hotspot, in fact, the numbers sway slightly more in Madrid’s favour. According to the Socio-Economic impact of South Summit in Madrid, conducted by South Summit and PwC, Madrid is one of the best capital cities for entrepreneurship...

Barcelona (com um ecossistema de Startups avaliado em 39 mil milhões de euros em 2022), Madrid (com 24,3 mil milhões de euros em 2022), e também Valência, Bilbao e Málaga. Espanha continua a “bombar” nas startups, (apesar das críticas destrutivas que a política produz todas as semanas). “With approximately 11,000 active startups in 2022, and extraordinary investment numbers, the technology entrepreneurship ecosystem continues to accelerate its growth and strengthen its place among the most important in Europe. A unique feature of the Spanish ecosystem among its European peers is that there are two main hubs, Barcelona and Madrid, among a large group of cities and regions that are successfully fostering technology startups, like Valencia, Bilbao or Malaga, to name just the larger ones”.

Transforming Real Estate Investment: €6.8M Raised and Counting! We're excited to share that Ratio.cx, launched in January 2024, has secured €6.8M from international real estate investors. Our platform offers advanced digital tools for developers and investors, making real estate investment more accessible and efficient. Thanks to our first white label software development, we unlocked a significant demand from LATAM investors with moderate capital who wanted to have exposure to European real estate income without planning to be physically in Spain. With a minimum investment of €500 and allowing payments in local currency in over 10 countries, our process takes less than 5 minutes and is entirely online. It includes visualization of the opportunities, Q&A, online advisory using AI to answer questions from the data room, legal documentation for remote signing, and a dashboard to track the evolution of their investments and monthly payments. As a result, 156 investors from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Panama collectively invested €6.8M in various real estate projects in Spain. This is just the beginning. We will continue to add more features for real estate developers and investors, both local and international. Connect with us on LinkedIn: Ratio.cx Thanks EMPRESA EXTERIOR https://lnkd.in/dwVsfp8z

Why we are seeing great companies thrive, like Arkadia Space of my friend and fellow #DeepTech #WorkGroup of Startup Valencia member Francho García, and others like PLD Space, just to name a couple? Because the will impact beyond traditional space sectors, enhancing industries like retail, supply chains, and disaster mitigation. Lower costs and increased access to space technologies are expected to revolutionise various sectors, like the smartphones and cloud computing did. There are even companies cleaning the space, something unimaginable just a few years ago. It is definetly a vertical we have to (and we will) keep an eye at TRL+ Space is booming, it's really really hot. https://lnkd.in/daqsZPXr
