One of our co-founders Federico Imparatta Romero asks that we re-evalute our role in building great product by focusing more on that and less on constantly creating content: "It’s time to re-evaluate our priorities and recognize the detrimental impact of algorithm-driven content creation on leadership and product development. Leaders should push back against this trend and refocus their efforts on what truly matters—building great products and leading their teams to success. While maintaining a digital presence is important, it should not come at the cost of our core responsibilities." Do you agree? Come build great things with us.

🚀 AI: An Indispensable Ally for SMEs, but with Significant Challenges Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are discovering AI as a valuable resource to enhance their operations and competitiveness. However, as El Financiero points out in their recent article, there are risks and challenges that we must not underestimate. In my experience developing AI chatbots, I've seen firsthand how this technology can transform customer interactions, automate processes, and free up time for teams to focus on strategic tasks. However, it's also crucial to address associated risks, such as data security and the need for ethical and responsible implementation. In our work, especially using the IBM platform, we focus on creating solutions that are not only innovative but also secure and aligned with industry best practices. The key is to strike a balance between leveraging the advantages of AI and mitigating its inherent risks. I invite you to read more about this topic and consider how AI can be a growth driver for your business. Together, we can elevate SMEs to a new level of success!

How to enter into the #LATAM market as a USA or Global company? Happy to provide my 2-cents. This was prior to the pandemia and we were able to go from zero (yes $0 ARR and MAU) to over 3MM in ARR in 1 year with a team of 4 that costs half of what a USA team would. We were agile and well funded by our employer from Silicon Valley. We hit #Mexico to #Argentina in our quest for new clients. Creating amazing partnerships every step of the way through #LinkedIN to do amazing local events. Then of course as we all know, COVID and all flights shut down. However, lesson learned. Now in 2025...we have #influencer marketing. So much further reach, local "country specific Spanish" and cultural difference between all the countries in Latin America 100% digital. #b2b #b2c #marketing #sales #expansion #latinamerican #spanish

Fei-Fei Li vision for AI goes beyond tech creation. She wants us all to become "world builders" in this new era. AI is changing everything fast. As professionals, we need to think about how to use AI responsibly and what skills we'll need to succeed. Li stresses that diverse teams are crucial for AI development. They bring fresh ideas and help avoid biases, making sure AI works for everyone. How can we make our AI teams and projects more inclusive? AI isn't just about cool tech. It could help solve big problems like climate change, healthcare, and education. As leaders in this field, we have a duty to be ethical "world builders". This means: Keeping up with AI developments Talking to people in other fields Using AI ethically Getting others excited about AI's potential #AI #Leadership #Innovation #FutureOfWork https://lnkd.in/e9-BrPb7
