Last Tuesday, February 5, IndianWebs attended the monthly First Tuesday event, in Barcelona. The main objective of First Tuesday is to help entrepreneurs in their financing and growth stages, through its monthly meetings. On this occasion Jordi Miró and Marcos Guerrero were able to meet the founders of Social Point: Horacio Martos and Andrés Bou, one of the main international social games companies, based in Barcelona. It was the first event to open the First Tuesday season.
Andrew and Horace They are two young entrepreneurs who currently lead the company Social Point, dedicated to creating games for Facebook. The company is known for the games Dragon City, Social Empires and Social Wars, which account for most of the firm's revenue. Horacio Martos and Andrés Bou have received the invitation from Carlos Blanco to attend the interesting meeting they offered us.
Andrés Bou and Horacio Martos They told us about the importance of hiring talented people in Barcelona and the luck of finding good investors. We were surprised by Social Point's turnover for 2012, which ranges between 14 and 18 million euros per year.
Currently, they are developing innovative programming available to few companies in the sector. It pursues the objective of allowing the same game to start on one device and finish on another. That is, start the game with your desktop computer, continue playing from your mobile phone and finish the game on your tablet.
They also talked about the importance of the company's scalability in terms of the number of users. This issue is an important objective that investing companies pursue in capital rounds.
The two of them encouraged the entire room to remain constant in pursuing our particular goals.
