He founded Auro Travel in 2017 to provide point-to-point transportation in Spain.

Hawkers has also collaborated with Mercedes, the LA Lakers, Play Station, and Lewis Hamilton. The success of this firm shows that business competency can be transferred to different business fields. Betancourt did not have any experience with the fashion field, but he enabled this company to make huge profits.
