"Entrepreneurship requires commitment, sustainability and, above all, pleasure"
BerriUp aims to help entrepreneurs to ensure the success of their projects. In fact, beyond ideas, people believe in people. With this goal, a 4-month accelerator program is offered to entrepreneurs with the following content: financing, advisory group, contact network, entrepreneurs conferences, internationalization, legal legal assistance, project monitoring, subsidy management and coworking. The magazine "eWorld" talks with Garikoitz Gaskets of the BerriUp Project Coordinator
What is BerriUp?
It is a news startup accelerator, where we help entrepreneurs to create companies. We offer a compact four-month program, including education, professional conference, personalized and thorough monitoring with first-time advisors, 24-hour / 7-day work space, investment of € 50,000 in addition to agreements with banks and other colleagues. After all, we try to do everything necessary to allow an entrepreneur to succeed in his business.
Who is it for?
BerriUp is a project aimed at all persons or groups that develop, regardless of the sector, and who needs help and / or investment.
What is the time today for entrepreneurs living?
The entrepreneurial culture of the Basque Country has nothing to do with Madrid or Barcelona, much less with other countries such as the United States. A few years ago, this territory had entrepreneurs who created companies, and they were also responsible for managing these generations. However, the needs and opportunities of society have changed and thus continue, adapting to what we are trying to do and re-creating businesses in this new reality. That is why BerriUp was created as the first private accelerator in the Basque Country.
What is the rise of entrepreneurs in recent years?
Labor status has changed radically in recent years, and we're not just about the celebrated national crisis. The average life of a company has decreased significantly, with the same thing happening in a company with the duration of a certain job. Stressiness, immediacy, the need to learn new things and the desire to live a new experience ... cause young people to "not seek out a" full-time job "and often becomes a reality. We will not deny that there is another common reason for job shortages.
What are the opposite and the opposite of entrepreneurship?
Acting is not easy. It requires over thirty hours, commitment, perseverance and, above all, pleasure. Many things should be ignored, and people who are in disorder should understand it or you should understand it. We have experienced difficult times with our "NEWUPer", but also cheerful, and after all, we have not found anyone who is sad to go on with their future. He's worth it ... does not he?
What characteristics should a good entrepreneur have?
We defend people over ideas and always put the same example: a good group can pioneer such an idea and become something good, but how such a group can reduce the idea. We are looking for honest people, with the desire and desire to raise ourselves to the ship, and those who are capable of interacting with other complementary colleagues.
What are the most common problems that entrepreneurs encounter?
As regards the problems encountered by the entrepreneurs, I would highlight three, although we could spend the whole day talking about them: first of all, the difficulty in finding people qualified to work in the early phase; Secondly, continuing understanding and adaptation to the market, in the end, the lack of liquidity slows down in the early stages and can sometimes die, even though the projects are meaningless.
What features should a successful business start up?
It's a relative success. A self-employment business is highly valued and successful if the aforementioned has this purpose. We're looking for projects that have three specific features of Innovation, with the aim of accelerating + investment with the aim of accelerating the timing of the project; to be able to get the team ahead; The project must be scaled down, because it is looking for an investor for a few years, by multiplying its investment.
Can you give me some examples of successful businesses created by BerriUp?
We are a young accelerator, when we were born in 2015. The data we can give is that all of the projects accelerated are still alive.
What advice would I give to an entrepreneur or anyone who is thinking of embarking on it?
If you are thinking about doing business or thinking about doing business but you do not have a definite idea, I suggest you talk to other entrepreneurs and get in touch with us to get acquainted with each other. There are people who are willing to help and guide this adventure. It also helps attendees in the field of entrepreneurship to be able to get to know the agents in the ecosystem. Finally, it is the best advice for one who wants to embark on it and do not stay in an illusion. The future is what they do.
