Latino Startup Alliance

Hola! My name is Andrew Vargas and i'm the founder of Enkko, a gaming hardware manufacturing company. I develop and design replacement parts for old gaming consoles mainly the Nintendo 64. The final product is almost complete and wanted to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs/investors in the meantime. We received worldwide messages and hope to accomplish this task and more. Very happy to join this group and learn more from experienced people, especially other latinos!

You can check Enkko out here and my progress throughout last year:

Buenas tardes! Excited to find this group! My name is Julian Martinez, I'm the Director of Marketing and Board Member for MaestroConference, a virtual conferencing technology company. 2016 has been a wild year for us - we were accepted into the 500 Startups accelerator (Batch 16) in January, got new clients like The White House and Hillary Clinton over the summer, and launched our Equity Crowdfunding campaign in October as one of the first/only SaaS companies raising through Equity Crowdfunding wefunder.com/maestroconference.

I'd certainly welcome any questions if anyone is considering an equity crowdfunding campaign of their own. Feel free to message me at jmartinez@maestroconference.com. As Director of Marketing, I served as point on our campaign and can share what we learned.

*NOTE: I fully aware that I'm posting our Wefunder campaign on a Republic forum, but when we started working on our campaign in April, Republic had not launched yet.

Ronda de free mentoring técnico! Para poder conocer más acerca de ustedes colegas y contribuir con mis conocimientos de 11 años de experiencia en desarrollo web + emprendimiento a los problemas técnicos que pudieran tener. Nunca está de más una segunda o tercera opinión. Les ofrezco total confidencialidad (incluso les firmo un NDA si gustan).
Las personas interesadas me pueden agregar a skype o hangouts como:

O me indican otro medio para programar una llamada.

Quedo a la expectativa de poder conversar con ustedes, seguramente será muy agradable.

Nos estamos hablando :)

Hello! My name is Cristina and I am currently applying to diverse accelerators with my fertility Startup. I've seen that many of them, like Rockhealth or Blueprint, ask for a reference from an already mentor or advisor. As an out of the box innovator, who grew up in Spain, Miami, Mexico and Colombia I am finding it hard to get into certain inner circles. I was wondering if you think it could be a group idea to create a group of latino "mentors/advisors" who could help us, newbies, with their advice and connections. Of course I am not asking for anyone to vouch for me without knowing more about my project. Im just asking for an opportunity to make my Startup be seen among the thousands of applications, and I know having kind of a latino "lobby" could help not only me, but many in my same position.
