Erick Fernández Céspedes
CEO & Founder, SKID
“Being already incorporated in the U.S. allowed us to have conversations at a different pace. It enabled us to approach investors much faster than if we hadn't formalized the company yet.
The program fell into place perfectly because it connected us with the ecosystem in both New York and Miami, introducing us to relevant people and new organizations.
I have a very good impression of Elpis Labs... there is a genuine willingness to connect you with their partners and network, which is vital when you are proving the value of your product.”
