The conference, which was organized by Mikhail Kazakov and Gary Dolgushin, attracted many more participants than Founder’s Mondays and was furnished with great style. And this event was twice as long as the previous one.


The participants of this conference were Alexander Pomazanov, CEO and senior partner of Pro Spain Consulting, which has many years of experience in migration consulting and legal services. Alexander spoke about typical mistakes of entrepreneurs when doing business in Spain, and also shared cases of solving complex corporate issues.

The author found the story of Anton Shvartsman, producer of the film company Wonder World Pictures, very interesting, who very clearly explained why it makes sense to invest in film production in Catalonia and Spain.

Artem Kadochikov is, founder and CEO of the international network of cosmetology clinics Age Clinic. He said that everything is very good in his business and there is a waiting list for many months, if not years, to come. The most “technological” was the presentation of Alexander Bogdanov, general director and co-founder of the laundry network “Prachka”. He told how, based on mathematical models, “Big Data” and prediction algorithms, you can develop a huge business network with minimal risks and how this can help any business successfully start and develop in Spain.
The main thing that the conference participants were able to gain in the end was the unique, real, and practical experience of people who made a huge number of mistakes before achieving success on Spanish soil. And of course, a super cozy atmosphere and excellent organization created a lounge environment for all participants to find new partners and friends.
