Building Tomorrow's Companies While Others Study Yesterday's Playbooks

Two decades building breakthrough technologies across 4 continents. Currently managing €60M portfolio in solutions that didn't exist in business school curricula.

From turning waste into power in Nigeria and Ethiopia to competing with German aerospace centers from Bali - I've learned that the biggest opportunities hide where others won't look.

The pattern I keep seeing: Most business thinking is designed for a world that no longer exists.

While institutions optimize for yesterday's metrics, the real builders focus on tomorrow's reality:

•
AI amplifies humans, it doesn't replace them

•
Environment dictates innovation (geography is strategy, not lifestyle)

•
Crisis-proof means antifragile, not just resilient

•
The future belongs to those who build it, not those who predict it

After managing programs funded by Kleiner Perkins and Wellington Partners, then watching entire industries get disrupted, one thing became clear: Everything changes faster than institutions can adapt.

The most interesting conversations happen with leaders who understand this shift and want to build accordingly.

What fascinates me most? How the next generation will navigate a world where traditional playbooks are obsolete.

Stop wasting years on degrees that don’t matter.

The world doesn’t need more theory—it needs action.

Chasing an MBA or PhD won’t make you successful. It’ll just keep you out of the game longer, drowning in debt, stuck in a classroom while the real work happens outside. 🎓

At EX Venture Academy, we’ve tossed out the traditional “degree” model. Instead, we give you real-world experience—immediately. You’ll build, scale, and execute with actual startups, not case studies. No waiting, no more “someday,” just results. 💥

Here’s the truth:
Traditional education gives you papers.
We give you ventures and strategic clarity.

The difference? Execution over theory. Real skills that matter, not diplomas.
If you’re ready to stop pretending and start doing, get in the game now.

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s core to who we are. 🌱

We don’t treat sustainability as a separate department. We integrate it into everything we do. 

From zero-waste education for children in Bali to investing in community engagement, we’re building a future where every action counts. 💡

Sustainability isn’t about theory; it’s about action. Let’s build a future that’s both impactful and profitable. 🌍

You found a problem you can solve. Great.

Now ask: is this something you actually want to serve?

A lot of founders can find a problem to solve.
The failure happens later—when they realize they’re building for a market they don’t even care about.

Takeaway: don’t just validate demand; validate alignment. Founder-market fit + an environment that promotes clarity beats trend-chasing.

AI won’t replace you but the person who knows how to use it might. 

The real power of technology isn’t in automation alone, but in collaboration. It’s time to stop viewing AI as a competitor and start seeing it as a co-pilot. By building a solid framework where human creativity meets machine efficiency, we unlock potential we never thought possible.

4 hours of work… and nothing to show for it?

You’re not working, you’re reacting. Every email, every notification pulls you away from what really matters. 😤

Elite performers don’t multitask. They go deep.
90 minutes. No distractions. Pure focus. 🔥

That’s how real work gets done. That’s how impact is created.
Stop letting the noise take over. Work smarter, not harder.
Ready to level up?

Comment FOCUS if you’re in. 💥

A first-generation Latina looking to make a positive change in the world. One voice at-a-time. One story at-a-time. One connection at-at-time.  Based in Houston, Raquel has dedicated herself to healthcare advocacy and healthcare education for the last 12 years. 

Having a multi-lingual background, she has been able to expand her reach by educating different neighborhood groups around the Houston area. Through her efforts, many members of the communities who otherwise would go without proper health care have benefitted from her advocacy and received health services.  Her efforts have decreased the high percentage of members who go without basic health needs. 

She works directly with state, city, county, and other local officials to educate communities on important health topics. Raquel is also involved in active research in partnership with various entities such as her world-renowned alma mater Texas A&M University, BakerRipley, and the City of Houston.  This active research aims to identify the external environmental factors which may cause physical stressors on the elderly when participating in physical activities within their communities. Based on the results of the research, enhancements will be made to improve the neighborhood surroundings to be more age-friendly. 

Raquel possesses excellent leadership skills and is looking forward to building a coachable team that will increase the reach potential thus expanding the efforts of her "Mission with a vision". She looks forward to empowering women and contribute globally to spread her message of love and kindness to the world.

Raquel has called Houston her home for the last 30 years. She is a sports enthusiast and labels herself "gung-ho" about all things "Aggies".  Avid salsa dancer. Foodie. Lives with her furbabies and children. Enjoys the beach and quality time exploring the city and seeking adventures. Raquel is currently working on publishing her book and looks forward to sharing her life journey through speaking engagements.

Turning Authenticity into Influence | Houston Sports Gal | Fierce Mental Health Advocate| | "LIVE, LOVE, LEAD" | OWN Your Essence | | Encouraging humanity to "Educate, Empower, and Uplift".

As a Social Media Director at Brilliant Beam Media, my days are fueled by crafting strategies that not only captivate but also drive results for both B2B and B2C ventures. Fluent in Spanish-speaking and Spanish to English translation, I've had the privilege of bridging cultural gaps and amplifying brand voices across diverse audiences.

Beyond the boardroom, I wear the badges of a Walking Tall Movement Ambassador and a proud member of The Outlier Project with immense pride. These roles aren't just titles; they're opportunities to pay it forward. My heart beats for empowering fellow Latino entrepreneurs, especially the resilient women who navigate through cultural and personal barriers with grace and grit.

Through the intimate avenues of my podcast, coaching sessions, and the pages of my soon-to-be-released book, "Culture Clash," I don't just share stories—I share journeys. My own journey from the tumultuous streets of El Salvador to the corridors of opportunity in the United States serves as a beacon of hope. But more importantly, it's a roadmap for those who dare to dream, guiding them from the realm of possibility to the realm of action.

My mission is simple yet profound: to give voice to the voiceless, to provide platforms for the overlooked, and to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive. And as we continue on this transformative journey together, let's not forget the power of community. On LinkedIn, I've cultivated not just connections but a family—a tribe of diverse souls united by shared dreams and mutual support.

Join me, not just as a spectator, but as a fellow architect of change. Together, let's shatter barriers, rewrite narratives, and pave the way for a future where every dream is not just realized but celebrated.
