I think there are a lot of opportunities to startup creative businesses, I think millennials could create too many creative things, but I believe they are not foccused on a right way, their mind is continuously jumping from an idea to another one, when they don´t find inmediate results, they change to another one business. Maybe they need to be more mature to take good decisions.

I believe in Spain there are a lot of entrepreneurs, but only a few of then is successful. The common startup business in Spain is the video games.

Spain government offer a minimun support to startup businesses, not too much.

I think crowdfunding is a good way to find money, people don´t care to give a few of their money to help to a friend or to a promising idea.

They sure are creative. Loads of opportunities can come their way. Thanks for answering our questions.
