On behalf of Babson College and the Latin America Forum Committee, we thank you for participating and making the first Latin America Entrepreneurship Forum a great success.

A very special thank-you to the speakers, moderators and panelists for expressing their helpful perspectives and contributing to this regional forum. The views expressed were insightful, the debates productive, and we know we have all learned valuable knowledge about entrepreneurial opportunities in Latin America.

We want also to congratulate again our Rocket Pitch winners and wish them the best of luck in implementing their ventures. The winners were:

1. Yo Reciclo – Hector Elizondo
2. PayFacile – Marc Saint Clair
3. New Venture Development – Luis Soto

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors, without whom we would be unable to create this event:

• The William .F. Glavin Center for Global Management
• The Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship
• Babson Career Center for Development
• The Student Government Association
• The Graduate Student Council
• Pneus Levorin
• Office of Campus Life

We hope next generations will maintain this initiative in the years to come. We really hope you have enjoyed the event and we look forward to seeing you in other events organized by Babson College.

Best Regards,

The Latin American Entrepreneurship Forum Committee

 

 

Today I stumbled upon this article about Babson in the New York Times. It’s more about the e-Tower undergrad community at Babson, but it speaks to Babson’s incredible entrepreneurship tradition. I’m sure there are many prospective students reading this blog now and this article can be a good way to really get to know Babson’s spirit and entrepreneurial leadership tradition.

PS: And also, our own Anabelle Desangles (member of the Latin America Business Club) is in one of the pictures on the article…
