This is probably one of Numatec's initiatives, I am most proud of.
As an entrepreneur I experienced first hand, how hard it is to create and run a successful business with no outside capital or help. The early days are especially tough and most startups with no access to capital or mentoring tend to fail. Numatec is an exception and despite not having raised outside capital it survived thanks to a lot of luck, and a huge dose of resilience.
Even if at Numatec we didn't receive outside capital, we received what I believe is something much more important and vital for a startup: a massive amount of goodwill and help from the people in the #digitalmarketing ecosystem especially in #miami and #Latam.
People rather than capital made us who we are. It seems an obvious point, but there is a massive difference between companies that are fuelled by capital and those fuelled by people.
Our clients (people) were willing to help from day one. Our talent (people) was willing to join us on this journey without asking too many questions, our business partners (people) saw the opportunity and joined us. The industry (people) embraced us and we embraced the industry.
So now it's our time to #help and #giveback! We want to play our part in helping #earlystage #entrepreneurs to access more resources and we want to give back to the people and the ecosystem that gave us so much over the years. We want to make sure that the ecosystem keeps thriving.
