Brainstormer, Entrepreneur, Startup

I hold a degree in linguistic mediation and course diplomas in translation for business, copywriting, digital business and photography. Since 2016 I am a partner in an Idea Validation Program for startups, contributing as a multilingual online market researcher and as a curator of a section called ‘Interesting Startups.’ A pleasantly chaotic hands-on work experience with startups that keeps me up-to-date and fuels my activity as a translator specialized in helping entrepreneurs with their translation needs along the way, from concept inception to fundraising.

I think the startup movement is the most exciting thing around; millions of new startups are launched every year, so many new ideas! No wonder it is said we are living a modern Renaissance. I know that many disappear and there are so many problems and difficulties, but I like the idea that we should approach them as a game not a battle. After all, in the big picture, entrepreneurs are not only problem solvers, they are also explorers - they are exploring change. By extension, I would like to speculate that maybe the revival of the entrepreneurial quest itself is one of the implications of the quantum paradigm shift, the biggest change of all.

TED is one of those ‘places’ that shed light on the fact that good work is happening around the world. Imagine all the money spent on defense (and recycled through arm deals) to be spent instead on supporting all these people that are transmitting thoughts, ideas and perspectives on innovation and progress. We should launch a global class action, zero-weapons on Earth, all countries should transfer their defense budget to research, education and renewable energy. What a mission impossible!
