I founded the BOOST Accelerator within the Start-Up Chile Program, as a community service project to help young entrepreneurs throughout Chile. The BOOST Accelerator Program is now in its 6th generation, and continues to help startup teams all across the country.Within BOOST, I built processes to select the best teams to include in the program, built-out the curriculum for participant's learning sessions, built processes for program participants to post needs that would move their startups forward, and connected participants to stakeholders who could assist in their company and personal development.

Created one of the most successful internship programs in South America called Santiago Chile Internships. We bring students from all over the world to participate in our program in Santiago, Chile; and train them on everything from design to tech to marketing funnels and sales processes through hands-on work with our team & products. Our program has become very well-known within the entrepreneurial circles of Santiago and South America. We power our program with the motto, "action over coffee" - meaning that students come, learn, execute, and get SH&T done that they can be proud of by the time they head home.

Built a recommendation platform that allowed locals and travelers to find trusted recommendations on restaurants and places from local experts, instead of reading through reviews from people you don't know and can't trust - which is usually the case on other recommendation platforms.Our team onboarded 6,500 Expert Bloggers from cities all over the world, who each added their Top Recommendations to the platform so that users had a fully curated experience wherever they traveled. The platform was built using a unique 'Rankings' system instead of Reviews, which helped users save time by quickly identifying only the best spots. We amassed over 300,000 rankings from top local experts on the platform that ranged from Best Tacos to Best Picnic Spots, and beat out 1,200 teams from all over the world to win a spot in the prestigious Start-Up Chile Accelerator program based out of Santiago, Chile.During our time in Chile, TheBesty team successfully launched an ad system to monetize the platform, where we allowed local businesses to feature their businesses at the top of hundreds of different ranking categories across the platform. We started out building a door-to-door ad sales program for local restaurants and other merchants - and progressed to building an online funnel where merchants signed-up for premium ads online, selected the ranking categories where they wanted placement, and paid to be featured at the top of search results. Monetizing the platform led to an invitation from CORFO, the Chilean economic development agency who helps run Start-Up Chile, to be accepted into their SCALE Program for elite startups that had gone through their program.

MyCollegePost was a web-based campus bulletin board. We built this during a time when Facebook was still called "TheFacebook" - so it was early social internet. The website eventually expanded to include USC, UCLA, LMU, SMC, San Diego, and San Diego State with a focus on helping students find housing. I helped to design the website, features, build out our initial user base, and sold advertising door-to-door to local housing/apartment rental companies looking to gain college eyeballs. During this process, I put together all sales materials, marketing materials, and created an aggressive on-campus guerrilla marketing strategy to gain initial traction amongst students.
