In Spain, 9.9% of people over 55 have already taken the entrepreneurial leap. Compared to youth volatility, these projects show greater solidity and a lower dropout rate. The need for employment and accumulated experience are reliable drivers, although ageism and lack of funding remain barriers to overcome in order to harness this talent.
Low-code platforms: the digital ally of the veteran entrepreneur 🚀
68% of senior entrepreneurs use digital tools to manage their business, but technical complexity can be a hindrance. Low-code platforms allow them to create applications and automate processes without writing a single line of code. This reduces costs and accelerates market adaptation, making it easier for management experience to translate into viable technological solutions without relying on junior developers.

The point is that the generation that still remembers the fax machine is giving lessons in digital resilience. The irony of life.
