Episode description

Alvaro is an entrepreneur very passionate about solving problems. His motto? "Since we only have one life, wouldn't be great we can spend it helping others while enjoying doing it? That's my way of being an entrepreneur!"  

During the last decade, he built many prototypes trying to solve different kind of problems: from a mobile app to help him learn Chinese (school never accepted to buy it), to a management storage software to help his neighbor manage his inventory (he never used it T_T), to a 3D virtual reality tour guide service for museums (not sure why he stopped that project!), 

to Akkadu: originally a live translated subtitles solution for universities & lectures, with the mission to help students learn in their own language. Pivoted few times but still with the same mission he managed to fundraise and now with his amazing team making the product better and more accessible.
