I'm Vlad. I started as a data scientist specialized in NLP, where I continue to train daily. But I also really like the world of startups, which is why I started several of them, one of which was accelerated by Lanzadera accelerator. As usually happens in these projects and what I really love, is that you have to learn everything πββοΈ, from how to manage the team, plan marketing strategies and go out to sell to clients (dealing with multiple rejections along the way πͺ), until being a Fullstack Dev learning new tech on the fly. It's a very interesting experience π!
I leave you a summary of each startup and what I learned from them below π§.

β οΈ Reason of death | It stopped being profitable when many players appeared in the market with the same idea and the lack of innovation maneuver taking into account that everything was based on public Blockchains | The key innovations compared to the competition were not completely accepted or legal, so to continue with the same idea as the competition that is light years ahead, it was decided to stop the project. | Not today, too young yet πΆπΌ! |
