Heydiga: el robot que te responde cuando llamas a la peluquería

David Zafra, the 40-year-old founder of Heydiga, once worked in product design at Tuenti and held various positions at Jobandtalent and Hawkers. During a meal with colleagues from Parson Garage, a conversation about his time as a car mechanic sparked his idea for the startup. Zafra explained that mechanics often spent hours answering phone calls, leaving little time for their actual jobs.

This observation prompted him to create Heydiga, a start-up that launched in July of the previous year. Alongside co-founder Sergio Espeja, Heydiga automates customer service interactions through various channels like WhatsApp and phone lines. In just over a year, the company has secured over 200 clients and is on track to generate 1.5 million euros in revenue by the end of 2026.
