Las empresas locales BrainHi y Skootel son seleccionadas para participar de la iniciativa que provee apoyo y capital a empresarios emergentes de Puerto Rico que buscan expandir y escalar operaciones en los Estados Unidos.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, 5 de agosto de 2024 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Bravo Family Foundation, una organización sin fines de lucro liderada por Orlando y Katy Bravo, que promueve el empoderamiento social y económico en Puerto Rico, anunció el lanzamiento de Bravo Venture Fellowship. Esto representa la primera vez que la Fundación trasciende su labor filantrópica al invertir capital de forma directa en las empresas emergentes de mayor promesa en Puerto Rico, marcando un nuevo capítulo en su apoyo al talento empresarial local.

Los "Fellows" participantes fueron seleccionados cuidadosamente por su potencial para alcanzar una escala global y generar un impacto económico duradero en Puerto Rico. Además de la inversión de capital, éstos recibirán oportunidades estratégicas de "networking", mayor visibilidad dentro de la comunidad global de inversores, y mentoría personalizada de líderes de la industria asociados con Bravo Family Foundation, y la firma de capital privado Thoma Bravo.

La candidatura para el Bravo Venture Fellowship fue altamente competitiva, atrayendo exalumnos del establecido programa de aceleración de Bravo Family Foundation, Rising Entrepreneurs, así como a destacados empresarios emergentes del ecosistema empresarial puertorriqueño. Los criterios de selección se enfocaron en la calidad del modelo de negocio de la empresa, su potencial de crecimiento y su compromiso con el desarrollo económico, y la creación de empleos en las comunidades de Puerto Rico.

"Puerto Rico es una incubadora de grandes talentos empresariales con potencial para exportar sus servicios y productos, pero lamentablemente han enfrentado barreras significativas para acceder al capital y los contactos necesarios para escalar globalmente, dijo Orlando Bravo, Presidente de la Junta de Directores y Cofundador de Bravo Family Foundation y Fundador y Socio Director de Thoma Bravo.  "Lanzamos el Bravo Venture Fellows para ser el socio que estos empresarios han carecido, brindándoles el apoyo y los recursos para escalar sus operaciones y ampliar su impacto."

Los Bravo Venture Fellows seleccionados fueron:

  • Emmanuel Oquendo, Cofundador y CEO BrainHi  BrainHi, un asistente virtual habilitado por inteligencia artificial para apoyar a organizaciones de servicios médicos que buscan brindar al paciente experiencias totalmente digitales. BrainHi ayuda a las empresas a recuperar llamadas perdidas, agilizar sus operaciones de pedidos y citas, y aumentar los ingresos. Fue la primera startup puertorriqueña en pasar por el programa de aceleración con sede en San Francisco, Y Combinator, en 2018.
  • Juan Parra, Cofundador y CEO de Skootel, una empresa de micro movilidad que proporciona alternativas de transporte eco amigables usuarios en Puerto Rico y el Caribe. Skootel es la primera empresa puertorriqueña en ofrecer alquileres por minuto de vehículos de transporte alternativos a través de una aplicación móvil.

Por su parte Blanca Santos, Directora Ejecutiva de Bravo Family Foundation, agregó que "Estamos encantados de apoyar a estos empresarios que han creado productos y servicios innovadores. Ellos son un testimonio del brillante futuro económico de Puerto Rico al que estamos contribuyendo a través del Bravo Venture Fellowship y más allá".

Esta nueva iniciativa empresarial de la fundación llega después de cinco años dedicados a impulsar la escena de startups de Puerto Rico; desde 2019, el programa acelerador filantrópico de Bravo Family Foundation, el Rising Entrepreneurs Program, ha apoyado a más de 120 fundadores y 60 empresas en sectores clave como software y tecnología, bienes de consumo y servicios médicos.

Sobre Bravo Family Foundation
Bravo Family Foundation es una organización privada, sin fines de lucro, fundada en 2017 por Orlando y Katy Bravo, con el objetivo de impulsar principios de justicia social en Puerto Rico y facilitar a las comunidades marginadas el acceso igualitario a oportunidades de desarrollo socioeconómico. Orlando Bravo, oriundo de Puerto Rico, es el fundador y socio director de Thoma Bravo, una de las firmas de capital privado más grande del mundo

El Bravo Venture Fellowship, como programa financiado por Bravo Family Foundation, cumple con todas las reglamentaciones y normativas del Servicio de Rentas Internas (IRS) de los Estados Unidos que cobijan las actividades de inversión de fundaciones benéficas.
