Our History
Centro para Emprendedores, Inc. was established in 2012, as a response for a growing need of entrepreneur mentorship programs. Establishing a business consists of not only a good idea, but also a specific mindset and set of skills that allow individuals to successfully develop their concepts. That is why Centro para Emprendedores is based on supporting entrepreneurs, by fellow entrepreneurs, focusing on the individual.
