The €15,000 reference target is identical for every venture and exists only to make signals comparable. It is not a fundraising goal.
In brief
- The idea
- A network of solar-powered, app-connected self-service stations. Discover, book, unlock, paddle and return — sensors verify the gear and the booking closes itself. Piloting on Playa de Las Canteras.
- The problem
- Paddle surf access is stuck in the past: tied to shops, opening hours, queues and stock, or to transporting and inflating a board you do not own.
- Who it is for
- Active travellers, couples and groups, digital nomads and residents aged 20 to 40, reached through hotels, hostels, surf houses and colivings.
- Where they are now
- Utility model approved and published in Spain, own technology (PLC, sensors, solar); ready to build a prototype station and pilot with 8 to 10 boards.
- What they need
- Pilot funding for the station, app and board fleet; institutional support for permits and a beachfront site; partner introductions to hotels, DMOs and surf shops; legal and insurance mentoring.
- Team
- Oscar Cavero and Victor Quintana
