  • Description

    Description

    We are a group of young people seeking to implement an economically sustainable business model through cooperatives and community collaboration. Our background is Technologies. We have a Software Development consultancy and another business unit in the Hosting industry. We want to make the lodging industry a social enterprise that injects capital to fight extreme poverty in the country. We want to help reduce the gap between those who have the most and those who do not. Extreme poverty in Mexico unfortunately falls on the indigenous population and that is where we want to make an impact through university degree education. Only 2% of indigenous students manage to finish a university degree in Mexico. We firmly believe that education breaks this cycle of poverty. We want to make our hosting business a repeatable and scalable business model so that we can help our cause. Not everyone have the same opportunities but we can help them finish their studies.

Tenemos una consultoría de Desarrollo de Software y otra unidad de negocios en la industria del Hospedaje. Queremos hacer de la industria del Hospedaje una empresa social que inyecte capital a combatir la pobreza extrema en el pais. Queremos ayudar a reducir la brecha entre el que mas tiene y el que no. La pobreza extrema en Mexico recae lamentablemente en la población de los pueblos originarios y es ahi donde queremos hacer el impacto por medio de educación en grado universitario. Lamentablemente solo el 2% de los estudiantes indígenas logran terminar una carreara universitaria en Mexico. Creemos fielmente que la educación rompe este ciclo de la pobreza. Queremos hacer de nuestro negocio de hospedaje un modelo de negocio repetible y escalable para poder ayudar a nuestra causa. No todos tenemos las mismas oportunidades pero podemos ayudar para que ellos terminen sus estudios.

    Help

    We are requesting help with business operation. We need to take it to the next level. All your ideas will be taken into account. If you have a skillful experience (hospitality, tourism, art, photography, filmmaking, social media, marketing, interior design, web programmer, architecture, carpentry... any) would be much better. If not, no worries, attitude is better than aptitude.

    Tasks may vary depending on your profile. We are sure that you can help us in some way to develop our business model.

    They can be from simple tasks where no special skill is required. However, if your profession can help us improve the business, it would be so great.

    We want our project to be something unique with the collaboration and work of everyone.
