When I was in Miami I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Q., the CEO and co-founder of Smartsy in person after weeks of Zoom meetings.
Smartsy aims to use AI to revolutionize the way SMBs create graphics for social media to promote their businesses. Real estate agents and Shopify store owners are just a few segments using Smartsy to create content 20x faster than with Canva.
I got connected with Kelly Q. by being a mentor at Techstars Miami which is led by Andres Barreto (go 🇨🇴!) with the core team of Pao Correa and Edgard D. Duque.
Techstars is a major force in the startup community globally, but Techstars Miami is very influential in both Latin America and the US.
Kelly happens to have a deep connection with Latin America but the reason I chose to mentor Smartsy was Kelly’s insights, energy, and positivity during our first meeting.
I have learned a ton from Kelly and Yaroslav Zhyvylo and am deeply appreciative to Andres Barreto for the opportunity to back him and his team.
