MarketGamy - My first adventure as Entrepreneur
From Luis Gallego Hurtado - Not Another IT guy
Some years ago, in 2017, I started an adventure, my first adventure as entrepreneur.
This adventure aimed to create and launch MarketGamy, a collaborative marketplace for trading video games.
Perhaps, it was not successful in terms of income, although it was a unforgivable experience.
