Exciting news! 🚀
Limpiar is thrilled to be part of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation event, hosted by SVB and SVB Catalyst 2045 in partnership with StartupOS.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of joining Gary Kusin Founder of GameStop, and Laura Mercier Cosmetics alongside Jill L. a seasoned lawyer and managing partner at Perkins Coie on their podcast.

I’m thrilled to share that Limpiar won the pitch competition organized by The DEC Network!

Standing on that stage, pitching my vision, and seeing it resonate with the judges and audience was an incredible experience.

Honestly, it’s not even been a year since I started pitching Limpiar and I’ve already won over $100K in non-dilutive funding, services, and support.
I’m sharing this because I know how hard it is to put yourself out there. Especially when your pitch still feels messy or your business isn’t “ready.”

This week I headed to Jobs for the Future (JFF) conference in hashtag#Nola to pitch Limpiar.
We didn’t win the competition, but honestly, that wasn’t the most important part. Congratulations to Cantaloupe AI (Techstars ' 25)!

​I stopped by the LinkedIn Lounge at JFF Horizons to answer one big question:
What keeps you up at night about the future of work?

“You don’t embody the attributes of a founder.”

Someone said that to me a few weeks ago. Why? Because I share the hard parts of the entrepreneurial journey: the losses, the lessons, the lonely moments and not just the wins.

A few months ago, I couldn’t even pick up the phone to make a cold call.

A few weeks later, I could — but I’d shut down after three rejections in a day.
Three no’s and I was DONE. Logged off. Over it.

Being a founder means living with and powering through doubt.

​

Clarity doesn’t come from endless thought—it comes from action.
Here’s to taking bold steps forward in 2025!
What principles are guiding your year?

First AFROTECH in the books, and I’m still reflecting on the experience.

Walking into AFROTECH felt like stepping into a room where possibility and representation collided. It was a space filled with brilliance, innovation, and unapologetic excellence.

Winning a pitch competition doesn’t guarantee long-term success.
But for a startup founder (
Limpiar), it can be the validation you need to keep pushing forward

Startup life can feel like an isolating road. Wins like this serve as proof that others believe in your idea. And that boost? It’s priceless.
