Today, we’re trying something a little different with this episode. Think of it as a little experiment!🤪 Powered by AI-Zhenya Technical difficulties turned into an opportunity for us to rethink how we bring fresh ideas to the podcast. So, we decided to focus even more on our guest and keep things dynamic. It'll be something like a traditional Q&A. Ready?

Gabriel shares his fascinating journey from Venezuela and Model United Nations to becoming a startup mentor in Spain’s venture capital scene. ✴️ Why Spain?
