During the program I remembered how helpful brainstorming power is. By allowing us to discuss and come up with ideas and solutions for other business women, you unleash the power of looking at issues from different perspectives. This way you can help someone else to succeed, and realize that others sometimes have the same issues or are similar to you, and by giving a perspective to others, sometimes you can use that same analisis on your own issues and see different angles of the same problem. Also, now we can give experiences from other women that can help you guide your path with their knowledge.
As a very early-stage startup, Mondays was just a twinkle of an idea. However, I felt strongly that it was destined to be disruptive in the field of back-end kitchen management. Pitch Fest provided the platform and support needed to nurture this delicate process. I am deeply grateful to Sophia and Stephanie for their encouragement and support. As a Latina woman in tech and the startup world, it can be very hard to get a leg up. Mondays modernizes the brigade system for the 21st-century food industry by prioritizing psychological safety and operational efficiency. This significantly reduces the administrative burden on executive chefs, allowing them to focus on their true passion: culinary creativity. We aim to change the game by fostering a culture of innovation, respect, and enhanced communication, crucial for conflict resolution and waste reduction, while also boosting staff retention.Since our participation at Pitch Fest, we have been invited into the Mosaic Accelerator community and advanced to Round 2 of the BC New Ventures Competition. Thank you, Pitch Fest, for providing Mondays with a platform to launch and nurture our idea.

Helping entrepreneurs connect with valuable resources in the entrepreneurship community is one of my passions. In addition, I strongly believe in the power of mentorship to support new ventures to be able to build confidence to go to their next level. For existing businesses struggling to scale, mentorship provides another invaluable perspective and a way to broaden the entrepreneur’s skillset.

As a guest speaker with LBCN, I felt supported to create a presentation around pivoting your business that would directly speak to the entrepreneurial mindset which I feel is a key aspect of being a successful business owner. LBCN was very professional in creating a colorful advertisement for the event and I was so pleased to share this through my network. The event itself was well attended and participants felt comfortable to share and ask questions which made the experience interactive and engaging. LBCN staff were organized, efficient and friendly and I felt look after every step of the way.
I was born and raised in Mexico, where I studied law in Guadalajara, Jalisco. This permitted me to become aware of the fact that business relationships are what makes up most of organized society. My passion is to create businesses catered to the current demand of society. However, my biggest passion is to create healthy and diverse businesses by always maintaining the customer as my number one priority.
Being an active member of LCBN has permitted me to have access to a large data base of other entrepreneurs and a vast amount of companies which each specialize in different mercantile niches. This has enabled our company (Western Canada Education Services) to become well-known amongst the Latin community in Canada. This, in effect, has given us the opportunity to position ourselves effectively in Latin America.
Rosa has been in Canada since 1999, and previous to her current business as an Insurance and Mutual Fund agent, had a successful career in Corporate Finance in the Tech Industry.
Rosa’s mission is to teach new Canadians the ABCs of personal finances and help them implement a financial plan to achieve their goals. Rosa truly believes all new Canadians from Latin America and elsewhere have the skills, knowledge, and dedication to succeed professionally in Canada. Rosa’s job is to guide them to make the most of their finances, following the premise: “It does not matter how much you make, but how much you keep”
LCBN was a great platform to launch my business. When I first decided to turn my part-time business into my new mission and long-term career path, I started attending LCBN’s monthly breakfasts. These networking events were paramount in helping me meet other professional members in the Latin community and create a brand for myself.
I would highly recommend you become part of LCBN to fast-start your business, and become part of the Latin-American business community.
