TechWeek Miami

DateTuesday, December 10, 2013 at 3:12PM

 

Here are some pictures from the kickoff party for TechWeek Miami. The event was at our home, hosted by Nic and myself, along with Iain Shovlin, a good friend and Chairman of TechWeek.

TechWeek is the main tech event in the country with conferences in LA, NYC, Chicago and -in 2014- Miami. The goal of this intimate gathering was to introduce Miami's tech community to TechWeek.
We had Debi Nova perform live for us in our outdoor terrace. She was amazing! We're all very excited for her career. Next time you see her will be at the Latin Grammy's in 2014.

Our friend Ismael Cala also attended, who reaches 50M homes in the US Hispanic and Latin American markets every night with his prime time show on CNN.

More and more, Miami is becoming a hub for the intersection of technology and entertainment for the Americas.

Talk to Andres!

DateThursday, June 20, 2013 at 1:21PM

I’m very proud of our recent success at Open English. In April, we closed our fourth round of financing and raised $65 million, bringing our total investment funding to $120 million over the past three years. This is one of the largest investments ever made in Tech Ed history! We will be using use these funds to continue expanding our services and to make English accessible to even more people around the world.

For me, sharing knowledge is the best way to keep growing -- and to  support the efforts of other entrepreneurs. That’s why, whenever I get a chance, I like to speak with young entrepreneurs from Latin America. These young minds contribute to the dynamism we're seeing in the region today. They enjoy exchanging ideas about their projects and sometimes need guidance to take their initiatives to the next level.

I’m inviting you to send me your questions. I’ll choose the questions that have the best chance of generating a productive conversation, and we can have a brief but useful live chat on the phone or via Skype.

If you’re interested, please submit your question here 

Hope to talk to you soon!
