To better understand how it all plays out in practice, myLIFE met with Alfonso Garc\u00eda Frey, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Yotako. He explains how business angels helped him build his start-up.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_0\" >Hello, Alfonso. Can you tell us what your business is all about?<\/h2>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yotako.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Yotako<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, we help web and mobile app developers be more efficient. To boil it down, when you want to create a mobile app, you have designers who help you come up with the visuals \u2013 pages, colours, etc. This graphic side is then translated into code by one or more developers. They look at the designs and make sure your app is compatible with the different types of smartphone (iOS and Android) and the different versions of available browsers (Firefox, Chrome, etc.). This can take weeks, or even months!<\/p>\n<p>But with Yotako, you can do it in just a few clicks. We transform your design into lines of code. And if you\u2019re more comfortable with a pen and paper, you can also design apps using <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/276467922\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Yotako Freehand Canvas<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8039\" src=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"863\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009_2.jpg 1882w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009_2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009_2-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009_2-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009_2-1080x603.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_1\" >There are several business angels supporting you right now. When did they get on board? Who made the first move?<\/h2>\n<p>You could say it was a shared initiative. We were on the lookout for <a href=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/en\/get-your-company-off-the-ground-with-the-help-of-a-business-angel-20007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>business angels<\/strong><\/span><\/a> when we began our 2017 fundraiser. We found them, and it had the fortunate effect of spreading the word about us. When other investors heard about our project, they got in touch to learn more. So they didn\u2019t all come into the picture at the same time; some have been with us from the start, but others came on board to help fund us at the last minute. Today, we\u2019re supported by five business angels.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_2\" >How did you convince them to venture into the unknown with you?<\/h2>\n<p>Our business angels are people we can turn to to discuss concrete goals objectively. Once we had established the desire to collaborate, we began to look at the touchier areas, like the amount of funding and the terms of the deal. Overall, you can say that both sides were interested in a partnership. That of course made negotiations easier and more effective.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We have the great fortune of being able to call on a team of business angels with a wealth of diverse and complementary experience. These are people with excellent networks; successful entrepreneurs with profiles that complement our own. All this comes together into a major advantage for the project, with undeniable added value.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"h2_3\" >What have they helped you with specifically?<\/h2>\n<p>The majority have helped us in two main areas: by making a financial contribution on the one hand, and by providing support with added value on the other. At Yotako, we have the great fortune of being able to call on a team of business angels with a wealth of diverse and complementary experience. These are people with excellent networks. They\u2019re successful entrepreneurs, with profiles that complement our own. All this comes together into a major advantage for the project, with undeniable added value \u2013 especially for a start-up!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_4\" >What is the secret to good collaboration?<\/h2>\n<p>In general, I would say that good collaboration is highly dependent on the quality of interpersonal relations with the business angel, and their level of involvement in the project. For some, it\u2019s just another investment, while for others, it\u2019s a way to be part of something exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, it\u2019s good to be able to call on people with different experience, knowledge, networks and perspectives. This allows you to consider as many alternatives as possible, especially when times are hard or there are important decisions to be made.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8036\" src=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"863\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009.jpg 4640w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Article_20009-1080x608.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_5\" >How do you organise your work in the day-to-day?<\/h2>\n<p>We try to address the major issues surrounding what we call \u201cStrategic Recommendations\u201d. I prefer to open the dialogue to all my investors as early on as possible. Not just so that we all have the same information, but more importantly, to enrich our discussions and gain as many perspectives as we can on the issues at hand. For urgent decisions, we communicate by email or telephone. That\u2019s part of every day.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think you have to seize the opportunity to access people with so much work and life experience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"h2_6\" >Are you the captain of the ship, or do the business angels also help manage your company?<\/h2>\n<p>As a soci\u00e9t\u00e9 anonyme, we have a Board of Directors whose powers are clearly defined and regulated by law and the company\u2019s articles of association. This delineates the capacities in which members can act, and their responsibilities. So an investor who is on the Board of Directors won\u2019t have the same responsibilities as one who isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>At Yotako, our investors don\u2019t hold management positions. The day-to-day management of the company is my job. But that doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t discuss certain management decisions with them first. I think you have to seize the opportunity to access people with so much work and life experience.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_7\" >Did you have any particular fears when deciding to go to a business angel?<\/h2>\n<p>More than anything else, I was afraid none would be available to take us on!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions.
