Help Caribbean Startups to DISRUPT
Say you live in a developing country and have a great app idea to help solve a basic problem in your neighborhood, city, or country. Perhaps you're not a coder, but have friends who are and can help. And so together you build a cool prototype (or minimum viable product -- "MVP") that could be a game-changer. There's just one catch, where's the capital going to come from to scale and develop this idea into a business?
We at Project Binario, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, want to help connect folks from the Caribbean with mentors and resources that can help their startups scale. Your donation will help them get to TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, an important event for making the necessary connections in the process. Meet the founders who will represent the Caribbean Pavilion at the event:
Jermaine Henry, FlowFacto (Jamaica)
Sergio Pengel, PIEDATA (Suriname)
Rafael Martinez, Mi Cama (Cuba)
Jeison Orovio, JYD, (Cuba)
Dwayne Samuels, Samelogic (Jamaica)
Nestor Tavares, Brands Of Americas (Puerto Rico)
Your 100% tax-deductible donation is crucial. It helps these folks get to San Francisco for the event. That in itself provides inspiration for folks in their respective countries to dream a bit bigger.
