Javier Sanchez Marco About

It doesn't matter how amazing your idea is if you can’t give it legs

The goal of my work is to put everything I have learned at the service of others. I offer up decades of experience in the entrepreneurial ecosystem to help great ideas become profitable projects. It’s one part investment, one part mentoring, and one part training. If what you need is a guide to help you navigate the jungle, I know all the shortcuts.
MY STORY

Financing

Need financial help? I’m always looking for innovative early-stage projects to get behind.

Mentoring

Lean into experience. Get all the guidance, support and practical help you need to become a successful entrepreneur.

Speaking

Do you need to inspire? I love sharing my entrepreneurial journey events to get people fired up about building great companies.

Without a doubt, the team of people that make up that startup. I really appreciate the multidisciplinary nature and the full-time commitment of the team. My experience has demonstrated that there is nothing that beats a team that works together towards a common goal.

Always be generous and humble. Lower your defenses, make yourself understood in any situation, express your opinions in an open and respectful way to others, maintain an attitude of open dialogue to reach agreements. And enjoy the journey, of course!

Having a committed team is everything! I will never get tired of repeating that.

Both. There are entrepreneurs that are born with the innate ability, and others that are made by having seen and lived great experiences surrounded by great references who were able to transmit “the entrepreneurial poison”.

What I am today is the sum of all the setbacks that helped me to improve. The only failure is falling and not getting back up again.

Yes. Until relatively recently, Spanish venture capitals were controlled by many former investment bankers with a much more financial vision than a product/business vision. This trend is changing as there are many successful entrepreneurs and business angels who put up their own funds and start to invest in the early stages, where it’s so important to be able to sniff out which project is good according to the team, the market, the product, etc., and where figures, on many occasions, do not even exist.
