Spain's digital nomad permit lets you live anywhere in the country. By September 2025 there were roughly 44,966 of them in force, and Barcelona province held about a third.

That distribution is not about scenery. Mallorca competes with anywhere in Europe on how pleasant it is to live here. What Barcelona has is the thing a new arrival plugs into during their first three months, and the research on nomad-heavy cities suggests that is what decides whether someone becomes part of an economy or just a resident of it.

When a company relocates, the senior jobs go first, the tax base follows, and so does the exit money that would have funded the next generation of local founders.

None of that is the founder's fault. It is a supply problem: the capital is somewhere else, so companies go there. Three specific things would change that, and we laid them out.

Companies form on Mallorca and then leave once they need serious money. Madrid alone holds about 48 percent of all Spanish venture capital, so a founder needing a large round has good reasons to go where the capital already is.

The islands are better at starting companies than most people assume, ParcBIT alone hosts around 170 of them. The leak happens at one specific point: the round that needs several million euros, not several hundred thousand.

We wrote about what that costs the island and what would fix it.

Angel investing has historically returned about 2.6 times invested capital. It is also true that most individual angel investments lose money, and that the gains come almost entirely from a small number of winners.

What separates those two outcomes is diversification: portfolios of 15 to 25 companies do far better than a couple of bets. Spain also deducts 50 percent of a qualifying investment from your income tax, which property never has.

The honest case for moving a slice of Balearic wealth off property. Full piece here:

About 77 percent of Spanish household wealth sits in property. On the Balearics the concentration is sharper still, since property here costs more than anywhere else in Spain.

Owning property on an island where land is scarce makes sense. The trouble starts when it is the only asset you hold, because if you also run a business here, your income and your property values both depend on the same local economy.

We wrote about the concentration problem and what a property-only portfolio leaves out.

A second industry does not build itself. Mallorca already has more of the pieces than most people realize: growing remote-work and digital nomad activity, established technical talent, and a research park that is not close to full.

What is missing is investment and coordination that helps early companies stay and grow here instead of leaving for Barcelona once they need serious capital. That is the gap worth closing. Read the full piece:

Mallorca had roughly 19 million visitors last year, and the loudest argument on the island right now is about limiting that number.

It is a reasonable argument. But even if the cap succeeds, the island still has almost nothing else. One industry carrying this much weight means every bad season hits everyone, not just hotels.

We wrote about the case for building a second industry rather than just shrinking the first one. Read it here:

Most people assume angel investing in Spain is a wealthy person's game. The numbers tell a different story.

Under Spain's Startup Law, a qualifying early-stage investment can return up to half its value through a personal income tax deduction, on up to 100,000 euros a year. The deduction reduces what you owe, not what you invested, so the capital still goes to work in the company.

Most would-be angels in the Balearics either don't know this exists or have a rough sense of it without the specifics. The full breakdown is on the blog, including the conditions and how the portfolio structure works:

Mallorca has never had trouble attracting talented people. The harder question is what they do once they get here.

Remote work means a lot of skilled people now live on the island while working for companies somewhere else. That is great for them, but it does not do much for the local economy. The opportunity is convincing some of those people to build and join companies here instead.

We get into why that matters for the whole ecosystem on the blog. Read the full piece here:

Everyone assumes emerging startup ecosystems are starved for capital. Usually they are starved for people.

Money moves easily. It crosses borders, joins syndicates, finds good companies eventually. Experienced talent does not move nearly as fast, because the people you need have mortgages, partners with their own careers, and roots that took years to put down.

That is the binding constraint in a place like the Balearics, and a big part of why we focus on building talent and investor networks, not just writing checks. Read the full piece on the blog:
