This is 'Nightmare in your startup', a novel idea that offers free mentoring to all entrepreneurs who have difficulties to move forward with their project. "I want to give birth, provide these brave entrepreneurs with a 'red telephone', so that when they have poblems they can count on advice to solve them and continue climbing the mountain," explains Josep Coll.

How does 'Nightmare in your startup' work? According to Coll, the entrepreneur can hold a 45-minute video conference meeting with him, private and confidential, in which he can expose his problem and receive a solution.
"As it happens, I made several attempts of the same idea, of an anti-piracy solution, until it turned out well," he said. If at the end of this mentoring session, the entrepreneur is satisfied, he does not have to pay anything, but just make a donation of the amount he wants to the NGO Sense Sostre, which feeds people who sleep on the street in the city of Barcelona. The project will last until June 2019, the same period in which he is preparing his new project in New York City.
