DESCRIPTION

This is the set of slides for the entrepreneurial life presentation at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). The main idea is to explain the things I've done and the lessons learned, so that PhD students think about the possibility of creating a company. We need more entrepreneurs. Can this motivate them to build a great company?
