Author: Volta da Linha.

We are Juan and Violeta, two Spaniards based in Madrid and, for the past year, partners in a major project leading the sustainable fashion revolution. We both studied at Rey Juan Carlos University; Juan holds a degree in Service Engineering, specialising in Artificial Intelligence, while Violeta studied Economics, Finance and Actuarial Science.

Volta da Linha was born in 2024, when Santander X Explorer gave us the opportunity to design an innovative project. After months of hard work, we made great strides, while carefully attending to every detail, towards what today is our small but ambitious project, one that seeks to prove that a sustainable fashion revolution is possible.

Throughout the development period, we structured and validated the project thanks to the experts and community of Santander X Explorer. From the outset, we knew the idea had to be built around three key pillars: fashion, sustainability, and AI. The goal is to create a tangible solution to one of the greatest challenges our planet faces: overproduction. In this way, excess stock can become a genuine and viable alternative in terms of sustainability. The role of AI within the project is crucial, helping us understand our customers’ needs and how to interact with them.

Today, Volta da Linha stands as a digital platform that channels unsold overproduction from major brands and socially conscious companies towards more personalized and sustainable sales through AI. Our artificial intelligence model helps us understand our customers; with this insight, we create surprise packages so they can discover products and brands that align with their preferences. As our roots are Spanish and we strongly believe in the Spanish market, the project currently operates exclusively within Spain.

Thanks to Santander X Explorer and the training we received in crowdfunding, we have managed to turn an idea into reality and gain the knowledge needed to make it take off. We invite you to follow us on social media and visit our campaign launch website so you don’t miss our next steps.

Necesitas pasar del valor al negocio
Necesitas pasar del valor al negocio
Existe un momento especialmente importante para cualquier proyecto: descubrir que alguien está dispuesto a pagar, a entregar algo de valor (dinero, normalmente) a cambio de lo que ofreces. Ese comportamiento indica que la propuesta ha generado suficiente interés como para provocar una decisión real, no una opinión. Tu idea puede crear valor para alguien.

¿Qué significa llegar al mercado?
¿Qué significa llegar al mercado?
Durante mucho tiempo te han dicho que la llegada al mercado de un proyecto sigue un ciclo parecido a este: investigas, diseñas una solución, la mejoras, la perfeccionas y, cuando crees que ya está lista, llega el gran día y la lanzas. El mercado aparece al final del trayecto y parece lógico que sea así, ya que “todo está terminado” y “solo queda” encontrar clientes. Spoiler: ERROR.

Observa, aprende y decide
Con el lanzamiento de tu proyecto, tu propuesta está siendo examinada por otras personas. Tómate un momento para analizar los escenarios abiertos: algunas habrán prestado atención y otras no. Quizá alguien haya hecho clic, se haya registrado, haya pedido más información, haya utilizado lo que ofreces o incluso haya pagado. También es posible que no haya ocurrido nada.

El aprendizaje real ocurre cuando una idea entra en contacto con el mundo. En Explorer siempre apostamos por este método “learning by doing”, a pesar de que contradice una creencia muy extendida: primero hay que estar preparado y después, actuar.
