GreenHouse Alumni Pablo Amaya and Karina Gonzales are off to the University Start-up World Cup (USWC) in Denmark this October. The USWC focuses on the best 40 University Start-ups worldwide and the impact these start-ups have on the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Participants pitching have the chance to win $15,000 USD in funding to support the advancement of their start-ups.
As founders of KibiTech Inc., Pablo and Karina will be pitching Elevate, a game-based learning platform that helps individuals living with cognitive disabilities develop life skills. When in GreenHouse, Pablo and Karina received mentorship and connections that helped advance Elevate as a prototype and validate it with local stakeholders in the community.
Both Pablo and Karina are looking forward to competing at the USWC and will use this opportunity to further expand their global network to grow KibiTech Inc. and Elevate on a grander scale. When asked a piece of advice, Pablo stated that:
there is value in networking, you never know who you will meet.
Good luck Pablo and Karina!
