This week I have been working on the screening of some start ups to see if they qualify for Vil Cap’s program. I have pre-selected 30 that I want to interview during this and next week either over the phone or face-to-face. I am looking forward to learning about the broad variety of businesses that the entrepreneurs are creating.
I also had the opportunity to go to the “Start-up Week”, which was an event that seeks to gather a lot of actors in the small and medium enterprises arena to help with start ups’ creation and growth. I though it would be a great opportunity to find some incubators, business accelerators, etc, which proved to be right.
During the three weeks I have being here I have met fascinating people from a variety of areas of the impact investment sector, and have had the opportunity to participate in some interesting conversations. I am really enjoying my experience so far.
