About

From university friends to business partners

Our Story

How it started

Founded by Héctor Pérez and Jorge Alfageme, two friends who met at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. What began as university projects evolved into various ventures—from e-commerce to blockchain mining. These projects finally led to the foundation of the limited company to operate the business. Later on, we began managing our own trading portfolio. Through our Venture Lab, we aim to found and fund new projects.
