Still a little tired from my morning flight, I am very excited about the MIF’s first ever pitching conference, WeXchange, held in Miami this week with over 50 women entrepreneurs – and an equal number of investors.
I hope they were energized by the sessions, speakers, and mentoring sessions. I myself was impressed by the creativity and dynamism of these women and their business ideas, led of course by the winner of our pitching competition, Angela Cois, whose start-up Last Room makes last minute hotel reservations really easy. But the runners-up were also impressive: Cecilia Calderon of Chile-based DentiDesk, Sylvia Chebi of Greentizen, Uruguay; Ana Hornstein of Fotter, Argentina; Montse Piquer of Nidmi, Spain; and Yanina Baglieri of DineroTaxi, Argentina, and all the other businesswomen I talked to over the couple of days.
To help you come back Monday morning ready to take on your next big idea, I wanted to briefly put together some of the recommendations by the speakers Nicolette Moreno, Joan Lyman, Silvina Moschini and from the panels. In the hope that these quotes will be useful when facing the reality of thinking BIG, here are the best tweets.
What will you implement first thing Monday morning?
And last but not least thanks to the amazing hosts, the MIF’s Susana Garcia Robles, and Patricia Araque and Marta Cruz of our partners Ellas2 and NXTPlabs!
What will you implement first thing Monday morning?
