The Huelva entrepreneur, Manuel Martin, He tells us how he has managed to get his small startup, Turbosuite, to be in several countries with less than a year of life. With two rounds of financing, investors “raffle” to participate in this Big Data project for the tourism sector.
This is how a new MuyPymes documents starts, which is part of a series of downloadable reports for our readers who want to report on current issues that affect SMEs and entrepreneurs. In this case, the report “Undertaking at 50”, can serve as inspiration for all those senior profiles who feel marginalized in the labor market.
According to the report “Your age is a treasure”, from the Adecco Foundation, almost half of the people who have a job or are looking for one in Spain are 45 years old or older, compared to 36% a decade ago. One of the main complaints of senior profiles is that companies already throw you back, in a selection process, after a certain age. Experience is not perceived as a value, therefore, many people over 50 see entrepreneurship as the only option to continue in the labor market.
But the circumstances are not the same as when you are 20 years old and have much more to lose. Is there fear of undertaking at 50? “Fear none, I have more than 25 years of experience in entrepreneurship and I have stumbled many times. Those mistakes have cost me a lot of money, but now I know what never to do. Experience is my insurance for this trip”, Manuel tells us.
