Iñaki Arrola, entrepreneur in projects like Coches.com and investor in Internet companies, has announced its investment in a new startup, Saluspot. Led by founders of Citydeal, Gonzalo Castellano and Philipp Hasskamp, sold to Groupon in mid-May 2010, Saluspot is a health interactive community that aims to make more dynamic the user-doctor relationship and doctor-doctor through a platform in which each of the actors can meet all the needs in one place.
