Yago de la Rica

I am passionate about new technologies, space exploration, entrepreneurship and innovative startups. I like to try new things and research about exciting things. Furthermore, I have been doing entrepreneurship all my life, and it is my passion. I have been studying an action based degree in International Business in which I created various Startups which I had in my Portfolio. Thanks to that, I have a huge experience managing international teams and living in every place in the world. For more information check my website yagodelarica.com.

TEAM MANAGEMENT: 

• I have been managing and working in an International Team with members from Spain, Colombia, China, South Korea, Vietnam and Belgium during 4 Years. We have been traveling all around the world co-creating while living in Bilbao and Madrid (Spain), Shanghai (China), Berlin (Germany), Seoul (South Korea) and San Francisco (USA). Thanks to all of this, I have a huge experience and understanding about people and their cultures and helped me to develop my skills.
   

KNOWLEDGE:

• Thanks to being inside an International Team and traveling all around the world spending time and living in those places, my Knowledge about each culture where I lived in helped me to “be water”. I mean that, thanks to these experiences, nowadays, I can go anywhere and make a live there easily and work with people different from me. Apart from these, my understanding about business in different palaces in the world is huge. I know how to make business in Europe, Asia, USA, because I have been living and making business there, Knowledge without action is worthless. 

STARTUP:

• Since I was 11 Years old I focused my life into Business. My first project called cestasdenavidad.com, where I was selling Christmas Chests, a very popular thing in Spain. This teached me about what a real business is, budgeting and the important of finance inside a company. After that, my second company called OK Sunglasses, where I was one of the first companies in Spain to introduce wood sunglasses. Inside this company I learnt about product manufacturing and marketing, it generated me some return but it still was a short term project to learn and understand the business. After that I co-created with my actual team mates NAMU. NAMU is a holding of different Startups based in different countries and in different sectors from Fashion to Aerospace. During these years I worked inside with my team in MyWay Heels, a company that is revolutionizing the world of fashion with an interchangeable high heel. CONSTELLAR AEROSPACE, a company making space more accessible. TRIBAL KOFFEA, a specialty coffee brand.  And other projects and events to found our Startups.
