Every time my mom asks what I do for a living, I'm reminded of how much I love connecting people and talking about startups. It's not just about being on the phone; it's about creating meaningful connections and supporting the growth of high-potential startups from emerging markets. My work revolves around nurturing these startups and linking them to a network of incredible mentors, investors, peers, and fellow Endeavor Entrepreneurs. Together, we build ecosystems that fuel innovation and drive success. I see myself as a connector, weaving lines amongst the dots that make up our dynamic world. I'm incredibly proud to be part of an organization like Endeavor that fosters these connections and creates more opportunities for collaboration and growth in the startup space. Thank you, Endeavor, for being a catalyst for positive change and innovation in this world!

🌟 2024 Reflection: Navigating the Path of Innovation and Collaboration 🌟 As I look back on the journey from Seed Community to SNBX El Salvador, I've realized the vital importance of understanding our roots to chart a visionary future. Seed Community: In 2017, we set out as an entrepreneurial hub in El Salvador, aiming to shape the startup landscape. The inception of our Coworking space led to a serendipitous encounter with Innbox visionaries, Tony Carbonero and Kako Valladares. These visionaries were ahead of their time, fostering discussions on pioneering concepts that were truly inspirational. This connection paved the way for the idea of unifying a tech-centric district in El Salvador, coined as Lomas Verdes (LoVe). The concept gained momentum, drawing enthusiasm from innovators and entrepreneurs, and garnered interest from the IDB Lab, seeding the beginnings of a Grant Proposal. SNBX: Simultaneously to the development of LoVe, Grupo AGRISAL foresaw the rise of Coworking spaces and approached us. To connect the dots, I engaged with Kako and Tony (Innbox) seeking counsel and proposed to co-create an innovation center, using the IDB Grant to fortify the value proposition. Our joint objective was to revolutionize the corporate perception of innovation and technology. This collaboration between Seed Community, Innbox, Grupo AGRISAL with support of IDB Lab birthed a novel concept which we baptized SNBX El Salvador.  Reflecting on the journey from 2019 to early 2024, I've distilled crucial lessons: 1. Recognize that genuine innovation resides in disruptive problem-solving, not superficial showcases. 2. Uncover the intrinsic motivations of each party in a three-way joint venture. Acknowledge and align diverse interests for smooth collaboration. Sometimes, relinquishing control is acceptable. Passing the torch to capable hands sustains the initiative's growth. Determine when to lead and when to support. 3. Set clear expectations in collaborations with partners. Comprehend their differing work dynamics and synchronize your role accordingly. Anticipate future scenarios to guide strategic decisions. These reflections serve as a compass for navigating future endeavors, reminding me to discern the nuances of collaboration, negotiate effectively, and uphold the true essence of innovation. SNBX now nurtures a community of over 100 entrepreneurs, supporting the inaugural startup accelerator in El Salvador. It signifies the culmination of a legacy deeply ingrained in the DNA of a corporate entity I deeply respect, Grupo AGRISAL. Their visionary outlook, belief in the future of El Salvador , and the trust bestowed upon Innbox and Seed Community in envisioning SNBX remains invaluable. In this journey, I hold immense gratitude and fond remembrance for my mentor, leader, and dear friend, Roberto Murray Meza, whose guidance illuminated the path, making this achievement possible.
