He acquired a degree at Instituto Católico de Artes e Industrias (ICAI) in Madrid and officially founded Tuenti in 2006 as the first to hold an active account with the social network he co-created.

This startup has investors like Myron Scholes,[8] who is also chairman of the Advisory Board.[9] Also Bill Elkus, founder of Clearstone Venture Partners, joined the company as an investor and advisor.[10]
Myron Scholes quoted Kuapay with “Kuapay possesses a unique and attractive combination of international market strategy, innovative security architecture, and a vision as to the future direction of mobile payments using the smart phone, which immediately drew me to the company,” said Scholes. “I see massive potential for Kuapay to be a dominant player in the mobile payments market, which is very much still in its infancy. I look forward to continue to advise this company on its journey to success.”.[11]
