PALABRAS DEL FUNDADOR

I grew up in a humble neighborhood of Cartagena, Colombia, a place full of challenges and limited opportunities. I could have become just another number in the statistics of unemployment, violence, or migration, but when I thought there was no way out, a helping hand appeared, a voice of encouragement, a teacher, a leader, a foundation.

I am the result of the collective effort of many who believed in me. After years of hard work, I became a tourism professional and an entrepreneur in the real estate sector, but I didn’t do it alone, no one ever does.

MISIÓN

Our mission is to transform agenerations with a mindset of economic self-sustainability — one capable of strengthening the social fabric and responding with excellence to the demands of today’s labor market and entrepeneurship, we aim to empower young people to become both entrepreneurs and outstanding professionals, ready to harness the potential of tourism, art, and technology while driving economic growth in Cartagena, we believe in forming leaders, young men and women who not only build successful careers but also transform their communities through purpose, creativity, and commitment.

VISIÓN

Tu vales means”You are worthy” we rescue the true value of being human. It reminds us of the worth of being Cartagenian, of being Colombian. We dream of new generations who understand the importance of work, effort, and perseverance; who become transforming agents within their communities, we envision lives where others matter too, where companies and businesses are not only about making money, but about finding happiness and purpose. The monetization of skills remains a challenge for our communities, many of whom simply don’t know how to begin, poverty continues to grow even as technology expands, and that gap inspires us to act, we are committed to investing the rest of our days in helping others achieve well-being, dignity, and opportunity, because everyone is worthy.
