I'm also an immigrant founder (actually not really an immigrant because I want to go back to Spain eventually). I have not created any jobs yet but I can assure you I've invested WAY more money in this country than I took out of it. My girl

I got a loan ($38k, 0% interest, 25-year term) from the Spanish government to pay for my master's in the US - after I graduated and had already paid for it (50%-off scholarship made it easier). I'm using this money to bootstrap. Did a three

Even the US has more Spanish-speaking people than Spain. However, Spain is still very influential in the development of the language. The "Real Academia de La Lengua" dictates the rules, and there's a network of "Instituto Cervantes" throug

I'm from Spain. We do refer to São Paulo as San Pablo. I actually never heard a fellow Spaniard say São Paulo.

I don't think it's damning of American-borns, I think it's actually the opposite. As a foreign-born founder of a US startup, I wish my home country was as attractive as the US for starting my business. I think America should be proud of its

I'm from Spain (though I live in Chicago) and I have to agree. If you get mad at every Spaniard who is late to meetings... well maybe you should stop dealing with Spaniards at all. It's what it is, and it's going to be difficult to change i

Linode is inexpensive and the control panel is great to do lots of tasks. If you want a _big_ dedicated server, go for 100tb.
