Hey Málaga! I’ll be flying in for a month in October. I’ve already noticed that Dan Marques from Startup Oasis has brought the Lovable community to Málaga. Brilliant. What about the rest of you? Anything else worth mentioning?

I’m planning to visit Málaga again in October, so I decided to reactivate the group. I’ve simplified the business model, set the pricing, and we’ll start developing it again step by step. No pressure to grow quickly. The goal is to build something that makes sense long term. Oh, and we also have a nice new website 😊 I’m looking forward to seeing you again.

I wanted to jump in and share a short story of how I ended up here and why Spain has been on my radar for quite some time. Right after graduating high school in June 2025, my dream was to jump straight into traditional real estate. Property always fascinated me, but that path did not work out at the time. So, I pivoted into marketing and launched my own B2B lead gen agency, helping SaaS companies scale their outbound MRR. Over the summer in 2026, I also gained hands-on tech experience as an SDR, working on drone inspections for solar, real estate, power grids, and M&O. While marketing started as a passion, I quickly realized it was just a tool to sell. And more importantly, I realized that true sales is not about pushing products, it is about human connection. I genuinely love talking to people, starting with casual chats and gradually shifting into deep, meaningful conversations. That shift in mindset changed everything for me. It led me to combine my passion for real estate and human connection into what I'm focusing on today: acquiring, strategizing, and scaling digital communities, what I like to call "Digital Real Estate." Traditional real estate will definitely come back into my life later, this time as an investor rather than an agent. I am currently exploring Spain and definitely want to check out Málaga soon. But to be completely honest, my ultimate dream city overall is Tarifa (if you know, you know 😉). Off duty, I keep my mind and body active by lifting weights, running, playing chess, or playing poker. I do not play poker for the gamble, but for the game theory, math, and psychological discipline behind it. I joined this group to build genuine international connections and meet interesting people. Whether you want to connect over community growth, strategy, chess, or just share some great tips about life in Spain, feel free to reach out. Looking forward to connecting and sharing good vibes here!

It all started one day after work when I decided to go for a walk. While strolling through the city, I spotted someone I knew from Sunflow coliving, where I had lived for three months. I joined him for a moment. I told him, “You look familiar,” but honestly, it would have been better if the lady next to you had said it. That lady (Anne-Marie) turned out to be a very interesting woman and also a highly skilled networker. She invited me to a Founders running club Málaga the next day, Saturday. I didn’t really feel like going, but in the end, I decided to step out of my comfort zone. At the run, I met @Kenneth Hellem and @Evan Monroe for the first time. A week later, I went again, and after the run, we ended up having coffee together at La Galga. I had temporarily moved from the co-living to the Sorrola hostel by the beach, which is nearby, so I stopped by the café again for hot chocolate and to earn a little money online. There, I chatted with @María Ortigosa, who draws portraits and animals. You can find her Instagram here. On my way out, I also talked with @Antonio Rodríguez, who runs La Galfa more then two years. So next time you visit, our poster should hopefully be hanging in the room where we go to "do your staff". Before the weekend, Anne-Marie also connected me with @Hrish Lotlikar, whom I met later that evening. He has a very forward-thinking project called Superworld. A genuinely nice guy at first sight. I believe we clicked, and we’ll probably come up with something together. Tomorrow, I plan to drop by the Demo Day at Polo Digital Málaga, and on Friday, I’ll stop by Startup Oazis for breakfast, to say hi to Dan and Ivan, and chat about what’s new. And on Saturday morning Founders running club again.
