Six months. That was the time Abraham Cózar had to get his career as a video game designer off the ground. This 35 year-old Valencian from the town of Meliana came from a first failed attempt as an entrepreneur. His project to develop educational applications for schools had not been successful. Far from abandoning his dream of creating a method that would allow children to learn and have fun at the same time thanks to technology, Cózar decided to try a second time in 2015, this time on his own, because he could not afford to hire anyone. His savings only gave him half a year to live.
