Welcome to the new people. Super busy day with work. Did I miss anything important? I hope everyone is doing well. Take care of yourselves!!

Hey team, Jeffrey Rosales and I will be speaking on a panel tomorrow about how veterans are one of the greatest talent pools for startup founders! "At this year’s Velocity Conference in Los Angeles, the spotlight turns to the Vetlocity Panel, where two trailblazers—Jeffrey Rosales and David Favela—will take the stage. Together, they’ll challenge old narratives and ignite a conversation on what it truly means to build the future of veteran entrepreneurship from the ground up. Expect bold insights, raw stories, and a vision that refuses to be ignored." Because we both will be in the conference and there's a chance we might be occupied, I want to challenge the team to self lead the meeting on Thursday as a Community of Practice. Talk about your challenges, achievements or questions. The amount of knowledge, talent and experience on the call is amazing and worth thousands of dollars if you were paying each other in the real world. The Latino Startup is bigger than me; you all are the greatest asset and will be what makes this propel our lives forward together. We got this! Thanks, and maybe see you tomorrow! David

Interview with Jeffrey Rosales, presenter for MONEDA, a Fintech startup here in San Diego. It’s critical to tell our stories! Pitching and storytelling is how you attract capital, good employees and helpers for you company! Take every opportunity to practice your pitch!

David you made us all proud as we watched you pitch today at Proximo Avance. Well done and congratulations! 🎉

Hi Team, I propose postponing the Carne Asada. Right now I feel a bit overwhelmed, Im finishing up a grant proposal, pulling together Pitch Latino, helping our startups who are pitching and now I will be pitching myself on the 20th at Proximo Avance. On top of that, Jeffry and I are also now invited to panel at VELOCITY in LA the week after. To be honest, it's too much going on! Ill propose a new day and time, we can celebrate the first cohort, the Launch, the PROXIMO pitches... we have alot of blessings coming in the next two weeks. Thank you for understanding, David
