Daniil Khanin (Ulaanbator, 1980) used to study the electronic structure of nanomaterials during his Master’s degree in Physics in the early 2000s. Paradoxically, he soon developed an interest in programming and entrepreneurship, applying similar concepts about small units and their capabilities to this new field. With over 20 years in startups and IT, selling five companies and achieving one exit as a business angel, Daniil has become a reference in Unit Economics, demonstrating how each unit generated by a business is crucial for making data-driven decisions. ueCalc.com is one of his latest projects.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

DK: ueCalc, the flagship service of d2decisions, is designed to empower entrepreneurs and startups by enabling them to build robust financial models based on product unit economics, using Goldratt’s theory of constraints. We aim to revolutionise financial modeling for businesses, making it easy and clear.

TB: The project is currently in what stage?

DK: We have just begun our first sales and have over 8,800 users and 20 paying customers.

TB: A good idea you’ve had.

DK: One of our boldest ideas is the belief that ueCalc can supplant Excel in the financial modeling market.

TB: What is the greatest challenge you have faced?

DK: The greatest challenge we’re working with is to compete with and potentially surpass Excel.

TB: The best advice you’ve been given.

DK: A lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of work and a little luck, by Mark Rich.

TB: A professional role model who inspires you.

DK: Best-seller author Ash Maurya, for his data-driven vision. He wrote “Running Lean” and “Scaling Lean,” as well as the foreword to my book “Unit Economics.”

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

DK: Artificial Intelligence, coupled with advanced Data Analysis.

TB: In-person or remote?

DK: It doesn’t matter, but in-person is more comfortable.

TB: How do you unwind?

DK: By traveling.

TB: A book to recommend.

DK: “Unit Economics”, by me 🙂

TB: A series, movie, or song that defines your life right now.

Robyn Marino (New Jersey, 1979) attended university and law school in the USA, eventually becoming a licensed attorney practicing law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She then served as the Head of Procurement Legal for The Cigna Group, a Global Fortune 15 company specializing in healthcare insurance, where she worked with digital solution providers in all stages for the benefit of 165 million customers.

And since 2024, Robyn has also been based in Barcelona, working as the founder of Global Link Law, a law firm and legal advisory business.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

RM: Our project is designed to help businesses in overcoming the challenges of entering new markets, negotiating contracts with Fortune 500 companies, and finding compliant ways to add revenue and strategize on new products. With insights from someone who has been on the inside while providing access to a global network from C-Suite executives to value driven legal experts.

Many companies see hiring legal counsel as a pain point and miss the value the right legal partner can provide. I’ve seen contracts delay for 18 months for lack of understanding on a contract that takes other companies 3 months to get done.

TB: Where do you see yourself and your projects in two years?

RM: We currently are in Barcelona and Philadelphia, and expanding into Asia. Many companies, facing expense pressure, are offshoring functions to places like India, which are a haven for compliance issues that can result in heavy fines and even criminal actions for executives. We have solutions in place to help protect these companies.

TB: A good idea you’ve had.

RM: Expand globally, with the right perspective. It’s a global world made small.

TB: What is the greatest challenge you have faced?

RM: Starting a business in new country surely comes with its challenges – understanding cultural differences and learning a new language are obvious– but you also have to understand how people do business and think. There is a learning curve no matter what your background and experience is.

TB: The best advice you’ve been given.

RM: Invest in youserlf.

TB: A professional role model who inspires you.

RM: While I’ve been lucky to have many role models along the way, I recently interviewed Mary Ann Boccolini on LinkedIn who shares her journey from Nurse to CEO. Mary Ann is a retired CEO of a U.S. health care company. As CEO, she created a company culture where employees wanted to be their best self and bring their best skills forward every day. Mary Ann leveraged her skills and learnings from her days as a nurse to do this during times of tremendous growth for the company over 25 years. I found her story to be very powerful.

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

RM: There’s only one right answer in the foreseeable future – AI.

TB: In-person or remote?

RM: Mix.

TB: A startup or company (other than your own).

RM: Sword Health started as a small company in Portugal. They expanded to the U.S. and as of this week are valued at $ 3 Billion.

TB: How do you unwind?

RM: Taking my dog to our local park. Plus, taking in the views of Barcelona and the sea never gets old.

TB: A book to recommend.

RM: “The Obstacle is the Way”, by Ryan Holiday.

TB: A series, movie, or song that defines your life right now.

RM: Acapulco on Apple TV – everyone has had their first job which prepares you for something bigger– it’s a good mix of Spanish and English. This means I can work on my Spanish while enjoying the show.

TB: A recipe, a restaurant.

RM: Jara Sushi in Barcelona. Some of the best sushi I’ve had, ever!

TB: A place in the world.

RM: The Ocean City Boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey. I grew up working on the boardwalk during the summer, and then later in life was able to bring my kids there as a mom. If you get the chance to go, try Manco’s pizza, Johnson’s caramel popcorn and sof-serve ice cream, and don’t forget to bring back some fudge and saltwater taffies for your family and friends.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

RM: Split among a group of starts up that I think have the best chance for success.

TB: If you weren’t an entrepreneur…

RM: I would be a general counsel for a company. Right now, I want to help as many companies as possible. In the long term future, I can see myself investing my time and expertise in one company I believe strongly in.

TB: What does Tech Barcelona mean to you?

RM: It’s a blessing. I get to help businesses understand that expanding to new markets is critical for their success and that perceived obstacles – whether it is the U.S. regulatory framework or class action lawsuits – is just a cost of doing business in the largest economy in the world.

Astghik Zakharyan (Dilijan, Armenia, 1996) is a passionate investor and ecosystem builder. Driven by entrepreneurial innovation and leadership, and fascinated by cultural dynamics and interpersonal connections, you could easily imagine her either presenting at a conference or participating in one of Tech Barcelona’s numerous afterworks.

With a LEINN degree and a background in entrepreneurship, she’s cultivated projects in China, the USA, the Netherlands, and currently in Spain. Serving as the regional manager of SIA-Startup Investor Accelerator, she is now dedicated to empowering new business angels and assisting startups in their growth journey.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

AZ: Bring more and better angel investors into the startup ecosystem.

TB: Where do you see yourself and your projects in two years?

AZ: We have now grow from USA into Europe, have trained 763 business angels, who have collectively invested over 250M in startups. We would like to reach further areas across Spain and Europe, to help more ecosystems have their strong investor communities.

TB: A good idea you’ve had.

AZ: Like many others, I come up with a few ideas a day. But the key is execution. I dream of a more harmonious and sustainable world. When something comes up, we will know.

TB: What is the greatest challenge you have faced?

AZ: Keeping a balance is a never ending art: balance between ambition and satisfaction; balance between rest and drive; balance between peace and chaos. If i have to pick an event – closing a startup I have worked on for years is perhaps the most demanding process I have gone through. It was harder than building it up.

TB: The best advice you’ve been given.

AZ: Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

TB: A professional role model who inspires you.

AZ: I take inspiration from many people. I have been looking for an exact role model for a long time, but I haven’t found an example that is exactly where I want to be. I guess my future self is my role model for now.

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

AZ: I see we are going towards a world where a combination of AI/Machine learning, IoT/ robotics, accompanied by Cybersecurity will assist our lives.

TB: In-person or remote?

AZ: A mixture. I love human interaction, being with people, and working together, but I also find it overstimulating sometimes, and thrive in peaceful uninterrupted working environments.

TB: How do you unwind?

AZ: High-intensity workouts, spending time in the wilderness, and through time spent with people around whom I can let my guard down.

TB: A book to recommend.

AZ: “Ego is the enemy”, by Ryan Holiday.

TB: A series, movie, or song that defines your life right now.

AZ: Hard to pin down one. I am currently taking a lot of inspiration from Bruce Lee’s life documentary series. I feel quite identified with his passion, drive, clarity of priorities, and strive to his level of commitment to cause.

TB: A recipe, a restaurant.

AZ: Depends on who’s cooking! Love spending time in the kitchen, and creating something new (I rarely follow a recipe to the detail), but don’t often make time for it. As for restaurants, I care about the ambiance more than the food (I’m not a big foodie).

TB: A place in the world.

AZ: My childhood home. I grew up in a big house, surrounded by nature, big mountains, and purity. There every season is well defined, has it’s natural sounds, dishes, and costumes. So much nostalgia, so much happiness left in that far-away place.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

AZ: I would divide it into 20 pieces, and invest in different startups.

TB: If you weren’t an entrepreneur…

AZ: I could be anything. chineses traditional medicine doctor; teacher; biologist; business advisor, linguist, travel agent… anything!

TB: What does Tech Barcelona mean to you?

AZ: It’s like a center, that has been there for so long, that gives the impression that it’s always going to be there. It is a long-term partner.

“I wasn’t meant to be an entrepreneur at all.”

Jean-Michel Waroquier (Charleroi, 1967) has a Master in Romance Philology, taught French and History for five years, then worked in printing, created a graphic design and communication agency, and used to be a consultant in Sports Marketing (he even followed a course at Barça Innovation Hub). But this activity completely stopped due to the Covid crisis: “that’s why I launched SailProof; it’s an idea I had since I bought my first sailboat, a 35 year old lady that I refitted in France, but never found the time to develop it before the first lockdown”.

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

JW: We have developed a sunlight-readable rugged tablet dedicated to sailors.

TB: Where do you see yourself and your projects in two years?

JW: I launched it 4 years ago, and delivered the first tablets in November 2020. Today we have four different models and have already sold in 45 countries on 6 continents. Our brand is already well known in the sector, and it will even equip the boats of the America’s Cup. In two years? I’m 56 years old, and have been an ‘entrepreneur’ for 30 years, so I take this kind of question with a good dose of philosophy: imagine if you had asked me the same question five years ago, one year before the first lockdown [laughs].

TB: A good idea you’ve had.

JW: The SailProof tablet, for sure! More seriously, keeping the line on bootstrapping my business.

TB: What is the greatest challenge you have faced?

JW: Launching the production of this tablet with a Chinese factory in the middle of the Covid crisis, between the electronics shortages and the closure of China’s borders during 3 years.

TB: The best advice you’ve been given.

JW: Life is a one time offer, use it well.

TB: In-person or remote?

JW: Remote! All my collaborators work 100% remotely, some even from a sailboat.

TB: A startup or company.

JW: Automattic, the creator of WordPress.

TB: How do you unwind?

JW: While sailing, for sure! When you set a sail, furthermore single-handed, you let anything behind you: it’s just you, the wind and the ocean.

TB: A book to recommend.

JW: “The Spinoza Problem” by Irvin Yalom.

TB: A recipe, a restaurant.

JW: Pasta, olive oil, garlic, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, pepper, fleur de sel, rucola and parmesan shavings. So simple that you can’t get tired of it.

TB: A place in the world.

JW: Hội An, Vietnam.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

JW: In the BlueTechPort! 50% for Metarina and 50% for Janah Cycle.

TB: If you weren’t an entrepreneur…

JW: I would be sailing around the world and teaching French during stopovers. In fact I will, one day.

TB: What does Tech Barcelona mean to you?

JW: The best professional choice I made in the last 2 years. More seriously: at the same time a springboard and a cocoon for entrepreneurs.

Growing up in the Swedish countryside and spending summers in the Mediterranean fostered Sebastian Stockzelius’ (Uppsala, 1993) deep connection to nature. Witnessing the alarming deterioration of the oceans due to human impact fueled his determination to make a difference. This expat entrepreneur –working from BlueTechPort at Tech Barcelona’s Pier01-  with a degree in Business and Finance is the co-founder and CEO of Janah Cycle, an impact tech startup adressing the global pollution crisis by offering companies a solution to offset their plastic footprint. Its model enables Western brands to initiate plastic recovery initiatives and social empowerment actions, particularly in disadvantaged areas requiring immediate intervention.

“Everything is possible; the impossible just takes longer.”

TB: What is the purpose of your project?

SS: We empower global collaboration through technology to eliminate plastic pollution wherever impactful change is needed.

TB: Where do you see yourself and your projects in two years?

SS: Founded in October 2023, Janah is still an early-stage startup with big ambitions. Our goal is to prevent 1 billion kg of plastic from entering the oceans by 2035 and, in the next two years, we aim to become experts at ingesting reality into a data ecosystem.

TB: A good idea you’ve had.

SS: Johann and I booking our first tickets to India, traveling from the north to the south of the country, and experiencing what led us onto the journey of founding Janah.

TB: What is the greatest challenge you have faced?

SS: Starting a business in Spain and navigating the landscape of necessary paperwork and legal understanding, especially when almost everything is in Spanish or Catalan, all while fitting it into our strategy.

TB: The best advice you’ve been given.

SS: Don’t overthink it, just do it. Thinking long and hard is good in many cases but sometimes its all about execution.

TB: A professional role model who inspires you.

SS: Charles Simonetti, an old friend and colleague from Criteo, was one of the first individuals we explained the concept of Janah to. He helped us kick-start our early sales efforts and later advised me to reach out to Tech Barcelona. And the rest, as they say, is history.

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

SS: Generative AI and large lenguage models (LLMs) will reshape how we live, work and do business.

TB: In-person or remote?

SS: A combination, for sure. Having the flexibility of traveling and working from wherever you are is a huge bonus for most employees. But it’s important not to get too distant from the social aspect of meeting up in an office and having fun outside the virtual world.

TB: A startup or company.

SS: SpaceX revolutionized the rocket launch industry with its reusable rockets. Besides providing cheaper and more frequent access to space, SpaceX has also opened the door for a new generation of space exploration. Exciting.

TB: How do you unwind?

SS: Climbing, kickboxing or just taking a stroll in beautiful Barcelona are my go-to choices when I need to relax and clear my mind.

TB: A book to recommend.

SS: Being a history buff from Sweden, one of the first books I ever read was “The Heritage of Gustav Vasa” by Lars-Olof Larsson. Gustav Vasa liberated Sweden in the early 1500s and is considered the founding father.

TB: A series, movie, or song that defines your life right now.

SS: First thing that comes to mind is “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities.

TB: A recipe, a restaurant.

SS: IKEA, why not.

TB: A place in the world.

SS: My summerhouse in Sweden, located next to a lake surrounded by forests and historic value. It is a true touch of nature. We will open our bed & breakfast doors for the first guests in 2025.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

SS: If you asked me a year ago, I would probably say Bitcoin, but since that ship has sailed, I will say Janah.

TB: If you weren’t an entrepreneur…

SS: I would be restless.

TB: What does Tech Barcelona mean to you?

SS: Community and entrepreneurial empowerment giving access to opportunities every founder needs to accomplish their goals.

Luis Ruiz-Ávila (Salamanca, 1963) is a key figure in the history of the biotechnological sector in Catalonia.

Although he humbly speaks of having had a “more or less dignified” academic career, the truth is that this Doctor in Molecular Biology dedicated his first ten years of professional career to research for CSIC, UB, or Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, among other internationally renowned centers. Then, in 1998, he transitioned to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, managing projects for Almirall and other pioneering companies such as ERA-Biotech and Advancell.

In his mission to “create value from knowledge,” in 2008 he founded Janus Developments, a company focused on acquiring academic projects, their technical maturation, and subsequent licensing, which was acquired by Ferrer and ultimately led to Spherium. Since then, Luis, as the “valley of death enthusiast” he is, has been involved in early-stage biotech spin-offs as a mentor, business angel, or director through Janus Project. And he does so from the coworking space at Pier07 in Tech Barcelona.

TB: What is the purpose of your projects?

LR: In all of them, I always try to transform biomedical knowledge into economic and social value. Currently, with operational responsibility, I am the CEO of Leukos – a spin-off from the Josep Carreras Institute entering the clinical phase to treat tumors – and executive chairman of Aquilón – a spin-off from the University of León developing veterinary vaccines.

TB: Where do you see yourself and your projects in two years?

LR: While Leukos will begin its clinical development this year, hoping to have completed efficacy demonstration in two years, Aquilón has just submitted the registration for its first globally impactful vaccine.

TB: A good idea you’ve had.

LR: Leaving academic ‘wet’ research to explore business management in 1998.

TB: What is the greatest challenge you have faced?

LR: Always, always, always, finding, retaining, and empowering good teams. The rest is literature.

TB: The best advice you’ve been given.

LR: Never give up, life begins anew every day. I was told this by a homeless person sleeping in the doorway of my house when I was 15.

TB: A professional role model who inspires you.

LR: My first boss at Laboratorios Knickerbocker in the 80s, Pilar Urdániz, and Antonio Parente, from BCN-Peptides and GP-Pharma, whose work ethic and judgment I admire.

TB: A technology that will shape the future.

LR: Nuclear fusion. When we have unlimited energy, if we achieve it, the rules of the game will change completely. Until now, our entire civilization has been marked by the struggle for resources.

TB: In-person or remote?

LR: A balance: remote is efficient, in-person provides balance and mental health. We are social animals.

TB: A startup or company.

LR: I collaborate with Biointaxis, Heecap, Affirma, Kintsugi, and Diversa, and I do it because I am enthusiastic about their projects and teams.

TB: What do you do to disconnect?

LR: I grab my kayak and go fishing.

TB: A book to recommend.

LR: “Más árboles que ramas” by Jorge Wagensberg, and an adult reading of “Alice in Wonderland.”

TB: A series, movie, or song that defines your life right now.

LR: OnePiece: the anime, but especially the physical version on Netflix.

TB: A recipe, a restaurant.

LR: Any grilled meat, Argentine-style. As for restaurants, I’m not very gourmet; any “all you can eat” Japanese place works for me.

TB: A place in the world.

LR: I have a very idealized memory of the lakes around San Martín de los Andes in Argentina. Being practical, Sant Pol de Mar.

TB: Where would you invest 100k?

LR: I’m a terrible investor, I prioritize the emotional over the financial. I would use it to help start a challenging project driven by people I could potentially admire.

TB: If you weren’t an entrepreneur…

LR: I love teaching and research. I suppose I would have tried the university world.

TB: What does Tech Barcelona mean to you?

LR: Speaking of Pier07, it’s a place to interact with key figures in the current and future biomedical ecosystem in Barcelona. And also a space to impress friends, colleagues, partners, or investors.
