He has taught me to approach the most entrepreneurial Andalusia from his absolute generosity. If you have a business idea or if you don't have it yet but you have the entrepreneurial bug in your stomach, you should take that "giant step" and connect with him and try it through his accelerator Impúlsame. Impossible to be in better hands. Looking forward to meeting you again. 🙂

It has been four years since I decided to turn my career around and bet on the path of entrepreneurship, and after taking stock of this last year in which I have been fortunate to have Fran as a mentor, I can only say one thing: I wish I had met him four years ago. Yes, the entrepreneur's path is hard, full of obstacles, and many of the lessons you have to learn on your own, but having someone like him by your side (not only for his extensive experience, knowledge and communication skills, but also for his human qualities) is a privilege that I feel very fortunate to have. Fran is also a close person, always willing to lend a hand and who pours all his passion into the projects in which he is involved, such as https://acelerandoempresas.com/, an impressive platform for communication, training and mentoring highly recommended for those "brave" who have started or are thinking of starting a business venture.

For some time now, every Christmas, I write a private document with the achievements that I have been getting that same year; it is something that helps me to grow as a person, and realize the many good things that can be achieved with effort. This Christmas, I kept a favorite space for Fran Guillén, a person who has given me so much selflessly; I did not know how lucky I was when he was assigned as my mentor in Impúlsame. He has bet on me, he has taken out the time he doesn't have to support me, he has believed in my possibilities from the beginning, he has taught me how to set up a successful business, he has introduced me to incredible people in his circle of trust, and on top of everything, we have become friends. I will never be able to repay him for all he is doing (although he won't let me either). Even though this recommendation sounds very mushy, I don't feel able to write any other way when Fran Guillén is mentioned. Just one more thing: If you don't know him yet, you are wasting your time.

My current mentor in the Impúlsame accelerator is Fran, I feel fortunate to be accompanied by a person who is passionate about accompanying others in the development of projects/dreams and who also knows how to transmit this passion. And that not only accompanies from passion but also from a wide knowledge and experience, a born entrepreneur. Highly recommended.
