Why we are applying to Solve:

My passion has taken me to chose a challenge that I believe can reduce the inequality in the actual economy. As a social entrepreneur, solo founder and latina female founder, I believe Solve can provide me with the best quality of advice, support, and network that I need to put this solution in hand of those that are needing it.  I'm confident Vincle can create long-term revenue but I wont achieve this alone I need, support, network, resources and visibility

The key barriers for our solution:

1. Fundraising: We seek 200k to accelerate the product test and fit.

2. Network: Hiring the best team requires a great network and alliances

3. Partnerships: our businessmodel is base on benefits. We would like Solve connect us with partnerships that can improve the quality and prices of the benefits that vincle offers to their community. 

The types of connections and partnerships we would be most interested in if we became Solvers:

• Peer-to-Peer Networking
• Technology Mentorship
• Impact Measurement Validation and Support
• Media Visibility and Exposure
• Preparation for Investment Discussions
