esi: What is cool about your start-upcountry, what inspires you and keeps you thriving?
David: Barcelona is one of the best cities to start a company. We have an excellent ecosystem, weather and people. Our business environment is excellent and we have a lot of different cool events every week related to entrepreneurship. It is very easy to get in contact with different entrepreneurs and receive support from everyone.
esi: What makes you shake your head about your start-upcountry, what needs to be improved?
