The Market Failure

A structural problem.
Not a technical one.

90% of Spanish startups fail in the US — broken not by their product but by the friction around it.

80%

of founders return to Spain within six months.

Housing

Prohibitive costs in SF without US credit history.

Banking

Impossible to operate without a US bank account.

Legal

Fragmented advisory at $500–$800/hr with no continuity.

Network

6–18 months to build a transactional local network from zero.

Immigration

O-1, E-2, and L-1 visa processes are expensive and slow.

Isolation

Culture shock and severe founder loneliness erode execution.
