Hi, I am a Spaniard guy who thinks, many say incorrectly, that is possible to create a Startup in Spain. I'm 26 years old and I live in M�laga, the city where Picasso was born.

M�laga is one of the prosperous places of south of Spain, but only if you are a russian ganster or an all-mighty construction company.

We have here the "PTA" ("Parque Tecnol�gico de Andaluc�a" http://www.pta.es) that was supposed to be the next Silicon Valley. It was called the "South of Europe's Silicon Valley". The reality is that it is full of Software Factories, as Indian ones, and not even them are going to India.

I have create a Startup company with two friends called Simple Option (http://www.simpleoption.com) (formerly known as Innovagic). Our focus is to provide services through the web, but I can't talk about what services exactly because we are working on it.

I am working in the final thesis of my Degree? ( I don't know how to translate Spanish University title to USA ones) in Computer Sciences, and I am studing a degree in Administration and Direction of companies currently.

I am a huge fan of the MIT's school way of thinking in computing. I will take as much knowledge from the MIT as I can. For me, MIT is like the "Vaticano" of computing. 5935689165569973607284 496796306252
