Elena Cabrera Casquet

hi, I'm Elena. I am a Builder. I enjoy creating software products and solving problems in creative ways.

about me

Based in Madrid, but originally from Lanzarote. Always enjoyed building stuff and learning new things, I guess that's why I'm drawn to startups and entrepreneurship.

I love reading, cooking, and traveling. I also enjoy spending time with my loved ones and my dog, especially out in nature. Occasionally surfing… but honestly, not very good at it.

work

I started out as a Business Consultant, but soon realized I'd rather build things than make slides about them. Since then I've been working at tech startups, mixing the technical side with the people side and taking products from idea to reality.
