Entrevista a Marcos Garzo, cofundador i CEO de Sporttips

We interviewed Marcos Garzo, co-founder and CEO of Sporttips, a technology platform that offers sport, health and wellness services, connecting athletes with certified specialists. ‘We have developed an ecosystem (’Ecosystem as a Service‘) based on a technology (’EaaS‘) that allows us to provide customised solutions to various types of partners: from major federations, events, clubs, gyms, etc. that cannot afford to have this transversal and digital ecosystem “in-house”, to multinational companies and SMEs that need better productivity and a better return on investment (use) of the benefits they offer to their people (employees) to strengthen their company culture’, explains Garzo. Sporttips' motto is “Fez del deporte un hábito saludable” and its main objective is “to create bridges with entities / collectives and companies that share this same vision and want to take action to further energize the sports industry in Spain and professionalize and democratize the best services for athletes (amateurs and professionals), with a clear focus on Sport, Health and Wellness”.
