José Garrido is an entrepreneur from Spain. He has a strong interest in how technology can connect people. That is why he chose to create an app for exchange students. His journey started in December 2019 when he discovered Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs. The program allows young entrepreneurs to contact more experienced ones who can offer hands-on experience. The challenge sounded very interesting to him and he started looking quickly for a host that could help him create his app.
He focuses on improving his website creating a marketing strategy and adapting it to this new normality. He has also kept working in the development of the app as well as more general tasks like setting up a team or understanding his business model.
Thanks to Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs both parties have managed to grow and improve at different levels from marketing skills to human resources management. Both sides agree that the benefits accomplished during these months would have never been attained otherwise leaving aside the fun and interesting experience at a personal level.
