If you are a serious founder in Dubai, talk to @apagut
Two years ago I sold my company.
I thought the next chapter would be simple. It wasn’t.
I’ve been in Andorra since 2021. It’s beautiful, my daughter was born here, and it will always be special.
But with ~80k people (mostly freelancers and retirees), no real network, and the nearest airport 3 hours away, it’s not the place for someone in their 30s who still wants to build.
I aimed for the US but couldn’t get the visa (long story involving a law firm in Florida).
So, after much consideration, I'm moving to Dubai.
I’ve been an entrepreneur most of my life.
Right now I want to join something that’s already big, in motion, and fun. I don’t want another remote-only chapter.
I want an office, a team I see daily, big challenges, and high standards.
It took me a while to admit that staying here meant I couldn’t become who I want to be.
I can’t stand that any longer.
At HandCash (CEO & co-founder) I ran product, design, and marketing. I raised money, hired, and led teams.
We tackled some of the biggest challenges in crypto/fintech and I’m proud of what we shipped.
The team came up with some of the most relevant innovations in our sector.
I’ve been deep in AI since before it was cool. In 2016 I led Accenture’s first AI division in Madrid for a year (until we raised €1M for HandCash!)
People who’ve worked with me usually say I’m honest, and my former employees always said I was a great leader. (Don't take my word, ask them!)
If you know a founder or executive in Dubai building something cool in AI, robotics, or fintech, please share this with them.
I’d love to have a coffee in the coming weeks. I land in Dubai on Nov 10th.
DMs are open or email me at [email protected]
If you’re reading this, help me by sharing it.
Thanks.
PS: This is a photo of me and Rafa, my co-founder in multiple startups! 2018... this is the biggest office we had lmao! I think you get it now.

Open standards are how ecosystems scale.

SPV & Micropayments:
"Simplified Payment Verification is for lightweight client-only users who only do transactions and don't generate and don't participate in the node network. They wouldn't need to download blocks, just the hash chain, which is currently about 2MB and very quick to verify (less than a second to verify the whole chain). If the network becomes very large, like over 100,000 nodes, this is what we'll use to allow common users to do transactions without being full blown nodes. At that stage, most users should start running client-only software and only the specialist server farms keep running full network nodes, kind of like how the usenet network has consolidated.
SPV is not implemented yet, and won't be implemented until far in the future, but all the current implementation is designed around supporting it.
In the meantime, sites like vekja.net and mybitcoin.com have been experimenting with account-based sites. You create an account on a website and hold your bitcoins on account there and transfer in and out. Creating an account on a website is a lot easier than installing and learning to use software, and a more familiar way of doing it for most people. The only disadvantage is that you have to trust the site, but that's fine for pocket change amounts for micropayments and misc expenses."
