5th week

Last week I continued sourcing for entrepreneurs, and interviewed four more enterprises to evaluate their interest to participate in the program.

My placement is allowing me to be involved in all facets of the firm, including sourcing deals, assisting portfolio companies, and conducting market research studies. This last week in particular, I have been reading a lot about the student loan sector in Mexico, a sector that, if properly developed, could hold great potential in providing youth from low income backgrounds the access to higher education and thus, allow them to improve their living conditions.   

Although the impact that the business ventures I am exploring still remains to be seen, I find it very inspiring to be able to talk with such motivated people and watch their attempts of finding solutions to improve their communities.
