Starting over (next Friday, from initiator)

Next Wednesday I will be in 8th Launcher in Madrid at 18.15 in the field of the CAN, in calle Juan Bravo 3 in Madrid. Far from being a date more, have raised me as something special for several reasons I wanted to share.

First follow the evolution of Initiator for quite some time. I have never attended one, and during these months I have seen several web-based, as one with Jaume Ferré in Barcelona talking about online advertising that I really liked, or with Jesús Alonso on restaurantes.com . It began in Madrid, my city have gone characters that follow his career as Carlos Blanco , Ismael El-Qudsi , Cabiedes Luis Martín , Emilio Martinez , Rodolfo Carpintier , Jaime Estévez , Jesús Encinar , Axel Serena and many others

I think I know little by little by one of the promoters, as Angel María , or Javier Martin (the third sponsor, Lucas Rodriguez , I do not know him personally) and I recognize that I will surprise a lot of ability to franchising and branch the idea to other cities, I think that conceptually it is very important and it is especially rewarding as possible.

Efforts are Valencia, San Sebastian, Granada, Zaragoza, Galicia ... I seem sensational and very rewarding to be able to present as varied points in a sector, ours, who lives much navel-gazing that has basically little from Madrid and Barcelona . I would love to visit one in an average city such as Granada and Zaragoza, live from another local point of view the concerns and ideas of entrepreneurs away from Madrid and Barcelona, which is already too large bias.

Basically in Madrid, I've met many people this last year I talked about the environment and good vibes from the hard core who came to start in Madrid, and believe that a totally surreal took 4-5 months to several different people saying "the next go, "and I have every intention ... but I have not been any of those times, especially since the schedule complicates me and I can hardly" go out "literally in the office type 5 in the afternoon.

All that is behind because finally go if or whether, as I have been invited to give a short talk, but frankly, I'm sorry not having come before others. But every cloud has a silver lining, and that will make when after lunch back to the office, throwing out milk to Madrid and knocking to check the time see my usual workload and think "it will be next month" ...

A few days ago Angel María Twitter published in my presence, but could not remember what we talked about months and months ago (my usual forgetfulness), and I remember asking him what you want to talk?. The response "to what you want" I focused too much, but this weekend I have gone, mind-shaping the issue and I decided to post something that some people in the industry already know, but had not beyond said certain quarters.

I take my presence this Wednesday to discuss for the first time in public of a project I've been working almost 1 year, a start up biotechnology and the Internet, a project that is so important and I believe it can be very interesting in Spain for what it represents innovation, forward at the genetic level, research possibilities open to scientists throughout the country and because it is a highly developed sector which combines Internet, innovation, medicine, genetics and molecular biology while putting on the threshold of preventive medicine "on demand", ie of personalized medicine based on genetic makeup, strengths and weaknesses of the individual.

And I thought, also the best way to do this will be not only tell, but I'd like to do something special and different.

First I would like to the hundreds of doubts and questions in an inner circle has known for months that the project can not only tell but also show it. For this I plan to offer the possibility that one of these can, in a very simple DNA test done through your saliva.

Similarly, someone can also have the experience to make his own biochip, and receive in the coming weeks its results, and indications, to take all present to see and "touch" that is my own biochip, Genetic ID my own, 2 large reports, one scientist and one at end user level, with my genetic decoding based on the sequencing of 96 genes, which represent not only the chemical essence of who I am as an individual, but also alerting of the problems, weaknesses, strengths and genetic predispositions that I have as a person and that are key to know for my future health. I think it will be interesting for those present to see something, scientific and technical input is currently only available to companies worldwide 4-5 and has been the product of tremendous scientific team's work exceptional medical geneticist Dr. Lao.

And even well-doubt is appropriate, and not whether it will be successful and I would love to hear opinions "that the day after, on Thursday 9 for those who remain concerned have not been able to attend, hang a few days to be consulted on this blog. Yes I do think it will be the greatest public exposure I've done in my life and possibly ever do, is something very personal, but I think it can be very useful for some people to come and learn the concept, possibilities and opening the roads to get to know analyzed and genetically.

Wednesday will be the kick-out public Genolab if well be called the bio-tech startup that is currently being funded and starting work on several agreements with private investors, as I will explain in more detail in Initiator, and I would like the last quarter of the year, was fully operational. It's a nice project, incredibly ambitious, which I have spent many months learning a lot, and I think it is a sector that represents the ultimate expression of research and innovation with a useful and tangible goal that can improve the health of many people the coming years.

By the way, if anyone is interested in the project and can not move to the field of CAN, said Jaime Estevez on Twitter that can be streamed from Agora News which I welcome.
