I just arrived last week, and I am already loving Mexico! People are so friendly, the city has some very beautiful places and the food is great!
This week I was able to join the accelerator team and help them with the selection of entrepreneurs for an event that will take place in a couple of weeks. They received about 200 applications and need to choose 30. I had the opportunity to interview a couple of the entrepreneurs, and I must say it has been a great and exciting experience! Through the entrepreneurs you are able to learn about so many different fields and businesses (my interviews ranged from bio-remediation to software to housing!).
The companies that reach the next phase will have the opportunity to present their ideas at a conference and raise funds from investors.
The interviews allowed me to think strategically and critically about the business ideas, and use the knowledge acquired at the training in Monterey. I am looking forward to continuing to learn about the entrepreneurs the next week!
