Latin American entrepreneurs: It’s possible and it’s our time.

There’s never been a shortage of good ideas or talented people in our region but now there are also venture capital firms looking to turn some of those ideas into world-class companies. Open English is just one example of the types of initiatives that investors are looking to fund.

Here’s a link to the press release on our latest round of funding: Latin American Entrepreneurs Bring Total Raise to $10+ Million for Online English School

Also including a good article that El Mundo ran this morning on the financing (see below).
