Testimonials
“I would recommend this program because it provides space to ask questions, reflect, and grow as an entrepreneur. Furthermore, I believe entrepreneurs are very solitary individuals, and having this support helps us to continue.”
“With Autoocupació, I have turned my idea into a reality, developing its business plan and financial plan to launch my psychology practice.”
“Autoocupació Girona has helped me with financing, as they accompanied me through the process of applying for grants; with management, because they provided me with the tools to do so; and with the transfer process of the shop I currently run. Thanks to them, I have learned how to better manage my business, how to seek help when I need it, and how to achieve my goals.”
“At Autoocupació, I have been working on my business plan and financial plan. Thanks to the support received from the Foundation, I have been able to obtain the necessary funding to open my business.”
“Autoocupació has helped me a lot when looking for financing, aid, and grants to set up my business. But, above all, it has helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel when starting my project.”
“Thanks to Autoocupació, we have a validated business plan and a marketing plan, and we also have the support of an experienced mentor to help us see that what we are proposing is correct and that we are on the right track.”
“Autoocupació has helped me create my business project from the very beginning: we have developed a business plan, verified the viability of the business, conducted market research, and above all, they have helped me a lot with the legal bureaucracy.”
“For me, Startup Huddle Barcelona was not just another event; it was a turning point where I found a group of people connected to the entrepreneurial world who, selflessly, gave me something as valuable as their perspective. It is so important for an entrepreneur to step out of their bubble and listen to different opinions, voices, and experiences!”
“I went to BizBarcelona and there I saw: Autoocupació, I am who I want to be. And I felt completely identified.”
“I believe that as an entrepreneur, you can achieve a quality of life that you don’t quite find when working for others. I recommend it 100%; it is an option, a path that everyone should try at least once in their life.”
“I think this is a long race, a marathon, and I have a motto I repeat to myself when things go wrong: In the end, everything will be fine, and if it’s not fine, it’s not the end.”
“I have put passion and emotion into it, and I have put so much emotion into it that I have literally been moved in front of a potential client while presenting my small country and the hidden gems I want them to discover.”
