But how Where the hell are the JASPE?
I always did that grace in the 90 of Jasper, that of Young Although ample preparations. It seems that now call JASPI (adding the "I" undervalued). He had not ever heard; me I should be doing more.
I've been thinking months, where the hell are they?. (pardon me)
We complain a lot of little support to entrepreneurs who is in Spain and in general in the Spanish-speaking countries, but if somebody oddly, I was in this case, look for an entrepreneur to put in front of a computer, a project and a budget is not easy to find what you want.
One of our major projects to develop the project in 2009 is Madrid.net. We bought the domain for months by about 30,000 €, and I do hope this special project in the first place because I wanted to do something in my city, secondly I think We have a formula business as a transplanted franchises or opening themselves in a second phase in a few years to other major cities.
Another powerful reason is that I believe strongly in the sector of the local guides and themed markets in large high-level business, is still a big niche with great potential for exploitation on the Internet and mobile internet. We have moved "the fashion of dating," "the fashion of social networks" and handsome clearly 2 sectors, an immediate one, the music that I think will be the key sector in the coming months and will see much movement, hence our adventure with yes.fm, and the other area in my opinion will be in 2009 and especially 2010 micro content, e-commerce and advertising in local media and local guides, and we want to position ourselves Madrid.net launching in 2009.
We want our thematic portal is a social network dedicated to cultural, tourist and leisure in Madrid, with news and thematic forums targeted at people, neighborhoods, districts and even streets and focused on developments in electronic commerce, with many advertising opportunities and business. We have certain commitments plus the investment and public support for the project, which would be developed in English and Spanish, and possibly Japanese.
Some months ago I began the search for an enterprising captain for this project. The idea is to build a team around him and publishing business and find a person with a very definite profile; young, even insulting young!, Living for years in Madrid and meet the Commonwealth, which has some experience and / or commercial knowledge and marketing, including Web 2.0 and above all have a special initiative and enthusiasm in developing their own project with financial support and secured our structure.
Unfortunately I have not even given to this person, and what I wanted, trying to come up with this profile in the coming months. I'm looking for someone with much excitement; wanting to eat the world, and offer significant financial incentives as an important stake in the project, and increased as the same goals. Unfortunately not many people with such enthusiasm and initiative enough, or at least I'm not finding and even many people who appreciate, when I know more deeply, I see that what they seek is a quiet and easy life, a table and a salary to make ends meet without complicated life. A get around fast and get so quiet, smooth, without having to think and find things to the loops and without costing too much effort.
It is a pity, but really every time I see more young people looking for a job mileurista, soon to be rich without much effort, working from 9 to 15 hrs, or morning and afternoon, but smoothly, without many illusions, without compromise without complications, no demands for extra hours, that is an easy and comfortable life, and pay the mortgage off over the weekend. Few people are willing to that extra plus, that sacrifice, enthusiasm and entrepreneurial initiative that I'm looking for.
I continue my search
so if you know my Jasper, be sure to recomendármelo!

In Spain the entrepreneurial spirit is conspicuous by its absence. It is much more convenient to have a boss to be criticized at the time of coffee and go home to your time.
100% agree with Luis. Many people do not want to complicate life, just wants to charge the end of the month and be taken canes with friends. Responsibilities zero, zero thinking.
Good luck with your search!
Would like to see is that shareholding but I think that there is a captain keen youth project and have no money to do so, this would be a very interesting option.
I do not see what is clear profile as a young man who wants to "captain" is not going to bring him say as well that doing things.
A young man was leaving the skin in his company, the other not.
And to think that in Latin America, in my case including Cuba, many computer just want a good Internet connection to download documents, a laptop and a good guide for X Developer language ... and whether it should be left to sleep because they do not sleep ... xD
You know the phrase "sleep is for the old", without wishing to offend anyone ...
@ Fernando, some nuances Fernando ...
Obviously there is a salary, and I would say a good salary, in addition to the shareholding without having to invest.
The action is precisely to give him that this is too HIS company, and not an employee, but of course that does not mean I can do whatever he wants ... we played hundreds of thousands of euros for a project and you have to do it head-on, choose an entrepreneur does not mean that go into the field at your leisure
and / or take unilateral decisions or outside the idea of the project.
Perhaps the word "entrepreneur" who leads a project of some fear or respect. There are fewer young people from those who should be in the mood for chiefs and leaders, who prefer to bring another ship.
But what we're really looking for is a young CEO with a desire to lead and how this might have to seek more luck.
I think that really what is lacking is a "middle class", defined as middle-class young people who are among the entrepreneurs and those who prefer to have a comfortable job.
That if Emprendedores there, but it is difficult to sign someone of that type for your business. These people want to take your idea forward at all costs ... so it is difficult to join another project that is not theirs.
Good luck with your search.
@ Miguel Angel gaton, I really what I find is not more people wanting to get his idea, but people there is a seat in the office without risk seems more attractive, people with fear.
@ Emilio Marquez, and you count Emilio. In principle I see a lot of people willing, the problem is that, or are not as prepared as I need, or even have many birds in the head.
Same is that I'm getting a little touchy
,-D
I believe charitable appreciate anything or much less, that the most attractive of the project is going to work with you
Honestly.
).
And on what other incentives are good ... but I do not see them as important, I think the project is sufficiently suggestive to be sold on its own.
About what a life of "calm and relaxed" ... is it sin that? Complicated life is simple (no, I like is that the complicated easily ...
Another mistake is to turn a project of this size over a person should not be on a team? After all the most important person who is known to lead to others who are good at different tasks.
@ Droid, Droid thanks for the compliment.
I think the motivation to do something creative and lead a team, especially in a draft embergadura, for example if you have 25 years should be motivation enough.
Ojo, that the team is coordinated by yourself does not mean that the entire project falls on your shoulders.
Here you got a 21-year amply prepared!
I do not think that is the same thing an entrepreneur or a CEO who I think has to call to get different leaders.
In our case we will continue looking for entrepreneurs and the philosophy of giving part of the project, in my opinion, an entrepreneur is the profile of madness and illusion that we are looking at many a CEO and that we are not going to get easier. The difference between leadership and management is important, for me a leading entrepreneur, and this fight more open to learn that a ceo.
The venture in Spain as we know it is ... I remember when many of us we started to struggle, years ago ... we would have given gold by someone leaning us a hand and help us, indeed so it was, now it seems that things have changed, because I I see them as always.
Greetings.
I am in the opposite situation, I have 21 years, from the 11 that I am committed to the Internet and lack of credibility because of my age I was never taken seriously in terms of projects, if I have offered many, but the Most-level employee or a minimum percentage that with a capital increase will let me apart easily, so it makes me 2 years mount my own company, with which I am still sweating today, walking a step we tortuta already 300 clients with a team of 6 people, but this work with a bit of funding would have taken 10 times less, with fewer headaches and I would have heeded the percentage of successful capitalist partner ...
Sometimes ... the destination is a bit cruel avoiding us to find the pieces of the puzzle we are missing
certainly not as much to be said for blogs that I do not know as Joan ... I used to be called "Pen"
greetings.
@ Joan Serra, Joan what is your company?
That in no case do not take seriously because of age, being too young, it sounds to me a lot
believe me, is just one stage. I have spent many many many years.
I can not believe what I'm reading!, As that is not found?!, I hope I will be an opportunity like this! (I am a cachitin far, Argentina)
successes, as I write you now!
the legal name of my company is Clickbox BCN 2204, SL ... which although it does not say anything we made a year ago a project in a village of Castelldefels barcelona a pilot project to modernize the city by making a web of businesses ... it took approximately 1,000 300 ... quite successful in principle (the portal is http://www.acastelldefels.com that brings together the partners) but did not warn of the future that we hold the draft
innumerable doubts of traders and a customer service antención which reduced profits dramatically ... now the project is profitable but not the gold mine that "painting" to the top.
Currently childbirth my time with projects shared with Miguel Villanueva to believe that you know and as a hobby I still close to one of the people who started me on the Internet and Carlos Emilio ... but I'm at a turning point quite complex.
It hurts you from London if you do not invited to see the offices we have in Castelldefels (ma) if you want to see some pictures: http://www.mastersinabox.com/ click on it and then come to us, are tiny but good to go out there
greetings!
Alejandro man ... mileuristas comfortable only worry to meet a schedule, without any doubt ... there unfortunately.
But also we have some theory in a time of 9 to 2 and 4 to 7 we leave the office at 10:30 when everybody in the office is gone at 7:00 and it will take more at 7:30.
Also we are certain that for a few months Hemsida had a major challenge as I happened to me last year and when that challenge has been met need more challenges, it would be very convenient to stay in a chair doing the same work I did not report anything for months charging end of the month every month without any problems, but ... there are not people looking for new challenges.
Looking for people wanting to push the project? Young? Madrid Anybody who wants to do something about their city?
That is not so difficult that there are many young people "seeking to plunge pool" into something like that.
Tell me one day the project in detail, put a computer technician who will mold to the needs of the project ... and I tell people that it Curra INSURANCE much more than any single person who is going to charge an 'X' at the end of the month.
PD-> I do not speak for my project.
Too bad that does not live in Madrid, because the project is extremely interesting from an urban vision and who holds the little that is sometimes known of a city.
Very good can become, until it is absurd that do not risk something of the life time for a project that can be very profitable and healthy in terms of work.
I'd like to be your JASPE Madrid, but you see, an ocean separates us!: D
[...] A sample of what goes: But Where the hell are the JASPE? [...]
@ Alejandro, On the topic of fields to its wide, what I mean is that with a profile initiative, a profile of "entrepreneur" is problematic when it comes to giving orders from a council.
If you match your perfect idea, but if things go the other way than the one that has in mind there may be many even rubbing his departure from the company. A lot of times past even between partners and you do not count as an employee, shares with or without them.
[...] This might interest you: But Where the hell are the JASPE? [...]
@ Fernando, Fernando is possible ... the only thing is that nobody intends to give orders from a council
but to work with, not only to become the CEO of the company, but within an order can take decisions in the medium-term strategy.
Obviously there is an initial business plan, and we ceñiremos it, that is not a venture from scratch.
[...] Seems to lie, are having trouble finding the right profile. Most do not want to complicate their lives and prefer a post [...]
I wish you luck Alejandro, I am sure that from this post you will get new candidates. I'd like to see that soon developed good
@ Fernando, Fernando Thanks!
Candidates must .... But few meet the idea that unfortunately we had pre-made ... and those few want to complicate their lives and possibly give up a life, with fewer but more comfortable future.
Interesting reflection on the market for young entrepreneurs / professionals in our country and very interesting bid for a project that will be safe regarding leadership.
1s.
The most worrying is that people prepared, experienced and qualified to perform relatively sure that this project existed, but not with the entrepreneurial spirit and sacrifice for a project. Unfortunately in many aspects of formative life of a person are determined to make it more submissive than in making creative and this ends up being paid in the future.
Luck with the selection.
"Young people seeking a job mileurista", "pay the mortgage off and the weekend." Flipo. ¿Mileurista paying mortgages? In addition to being science fiction that possibility, it seems that what we aspire to all "youth" is that, charging shit (and shortly thousand euros, with luck) and off (¿have life, perhaps?), In addition to working the least (¿40 hours a week, maybe, and never paid no extras?) But what are you going? Go back to the real world, your almost trabajaos something no personal life (because being married to an aunt you see two hours per week and take the child to the park is to have no life) and go ye out from time to time in Majadahonda.
Curious your concept of 'entrepreneur'. It seems to me you're looking for an employee that you remove the chestnuts from the fire, rather than an entrepreneur. Regarding the comment from Mr Alonso-Lasheras, it seems to me that as he does not have seemed adequate legal and tax barriers that exist in this country to pursue a business project. Anyone who has tried (I was one) knows that to mount a country with no more red tape and more rigidity Spain. To start you have to pay Social Security but not a hard and invoices from day one, a portion of costs of incorporation and a litany of leeches (notaries, managers, etc.) that consume resources, both in money and in time it does not help nothing to the competitiveness of your project. That that one prefers to have a boss who's laughing at the coffee I guess that responds to a trauma that he has with his slaves.
@ Marius, I have never wanted someone to get me the nuts-fire, in fact if the subject is ugly, for their own interest, there will always be the first.
3 companies have addressed personally, some for over 12 years. I can not obviously be personally on a daily basis for everything we do and I need to start rodearme of people that this applies to the front of the new projects.
If you find an employee and not an entrepreneur, you do not give a% of the company as part of their salary and incentives.
@ Mary, if mileuristas paying mortgages: many second and the last report of 2007, the Bank of Spain for more than 65% of the mortgage-ups (last 3 years) have been signed by young couples with 2 salary of a thousand-odd euros average.
If you want to mount your business, be creative and give value to your own company, the effort requires more than simply to work 35-40 hours per week, but the prize is also much greater if you do things right (and if you go wrong ).
Indeed, on the other you do not answer, I believe that offensive comments are left over because they do not know, especially my personal life for nothing. Up to disagree (which is very healthy) must be shown respect for others.
@ AlejandroPérez, I am 100% agree with you, you've expressed perfectly, Alejandro.
The company is creating people submissive and less enterprising.
I always in my work I have put some clear goals. Work as much as 40-year dream to live the rest of my life. This is not to say that we do not allow me to go out with friends (Durmo little in reality), family, my children, 4 legs that require their time, etc ...
Let me choose my life but have limited much of my work. Currently working on the SM Group Editorial at Levante did not raise me to have a timetable, the necessary work and a little more, spending all day at my job, to ventures that start and devoting quality time to my private life.
Maria each chose one thing, being an entrepreneur and wanting to work or grow up wanting to be official and dedicate it to your personal life, it is a matter of choice.

If you really believe that there are those youngsters who speak JASPER Alejandro, although they are few and hard to find. But the main problem in this precisimante not going to be very docile. I do not know of any young entrepreneur to be so. Those who have the character and desire to speak to the often too "bullets" so that you can trust them and when they cease to be typically much sweat and tears that have learned to control ... and this time there is no longer who caught!
Good luck in your search
Good morning!
Has made me thank you very much the point of the birds in your head you do in this commentary, Alejandro: http://www.alejandrosuarez.es/2008/08/pero-donde-estan-los-jasp/ # comment-527
On the one hand I think there are many young people more than ready to move forward with a project online (such as some CEOs in Group Intercom or people Trovit, for a couple of quick examples).
On the other hand, has done much damage the perception that is sold in the U.S. market in the blogs sector. Every day I read that companies are investing millions in some projects. I do not feel as bad owner, but did not explain anything more (or business models or plans for monetization or anything) and a lot of people think that the millions fall from the sky in this sector. Here we need to take care of the quarry ...
Best of luck in your search for CEO!
D.
If there are entrepreneurs employed person and that if there JASPER milk then your BATNA would be better than the agreement itself that you offer.
It is not logical to find anybody.
I just find myself with this post and it really does not come into my head as you may not find trained young people and entrepreneurs in Spain.
I very much agree that the vast majority, pay the mortgage and have some $ to go on holiday will spare. At least that is what I see myself in the local market (Argentina).
I called a lot of attention to doing the commentary on the times, as it often happens that I really need you to take on more than 24 hours. I am particularly 26 years, married with one son and one coming soon, but everything well and I have no motivation to generate new enterprises and businesses. Currently working as PM for a multinational, and in turn I have my own business as an entrepreneur in the world and internet social web, and I do not see the point of taking off once with my own projects and ventures. The day for me starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends after midnight.
I sincerely hope you have many successes with the initiation MADRID.net and if at some point you need to get any of my services, do not hesitate to contact me. In the world of business we are all colleagues and partners.
A hug from Argentina!

As a friend of mine said - Because the WWW belongs to lovers, Because the WWW belongs to us.
The project sounds very attractive, of course, but with 38 years no longer go into the category of Jasper

I started to work as an employee and then I spent a self-contained. But I preferred the life and lasts for a year and a half I am an entrepreneur, always connected to the Internet. As with everything in the middle is virtue, and I've never worked 24 hours a day (either 8, of course). Life is working but also family, sports and many other delights. You may need to seek more experienced and less over-preparation

as seems to know something about me, you need to know the number of employees that I have, my tribe is really small. indeed currently employed.

Man, I would seek a thousand loves, only that I'm in the wrong geographic location for this project.
A hug, Jaime
@ Francisco, with 38 years go as well.
Your text: "When someone, I was in this case, look for an entrepreneur." Did not you put that entrepreneurs are like Chuck Norris? (Do not looking, they will seek you).
@ N / A, you're a horny. I hope you do not give milk for Chuck Norris! (and I end up finding my) in fact thanks to this post, I have contacted nearly 20 people to assess
@ Luis Alonso-Lasheras, hum the way ... but not so anonymous ... are the IPs
But as well, I prefer not to know who he is, then surely it is a super person smiling and charming when she sees me, and I prefer to live in virtual reality
what is clear is that, being completely free to disagree or call me whatever (I called me worse things to myself) if I had to identify'm pretty sure they would say otherwise.
marius not?
I leave with you that I have 10 fans with preparations
Alejandro Suarez, Enterao of matter. Luis you know that you know who I am, without the need for Ip's (something for which I am perfectly aware, until there comes my transparency, friend), which also does not make sense because I write from 40 thousand ip's different. Not to mention when I go surfing anonymously. In summary, which I have nothing to hide. It is completely irrelevant to know who I am and if I were to tell someone something really serious, I assure you signed with my full name.
@ Marius;
As I have commented Marius, is not where it comes from your pique if any as it seems, what he said to Luis Alonso-Lasheras is that with serious issues, the network is by no means as anonymous as you think. Only that
[...] I see nothing strange in this offering Alejandro Suarez, who is very much in line with what I have said. A possible big project looking for your great candidate [...]
I am surprised that a guy with your "pulse" search for "a" profile well ... with Maradona on his legs, Michael Phelps on his arms, in the heart Steve Jobs, Bill Gates in the head and with the stamp of Alejandro Suarez Sanchez-Ocana in the bone marrow.
Respectfully: describe what that (hopefully) you could assemble a team of bringing together people with many profiles compatible. 're Thinking (I think) in a business of the century, the formula for managing the Twentieth Century.
Do not go over "the pyramids," now better transit "areas." The stratification is moved from one who knows a lot and can do everything, to several that are complementary in that it takes something more clever in the lead momentarily until the next scene, or problem, or challenge ...
It closes the circle: think of a team "round" and not included in a "tip".
A few days ago round in me an idea: the links are more important that individuals.
Kind regards,
Mario
@ Mario Dehter, I liked the approach of the areas ... it sounds very good.
I think about it
Hola Alejandro, ¿Continúas la búsqueda del candidato perfecto?.
Un saludo.
¿Vida fácil?¿Cómoda?No creo que sea la de un mil eurista… En cuánto a emprendedores, los hay a patadas, pero no todos son conocidos ;D. Respecto a lo de las Ip´s … sin comentarios.
