“As a woman, I feel it is very important to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem, especially in technology, and to recognize women’s contribution
in Costa Rica”.

Cristina Vindas Rodríguez

Director Impact Hub San José

“We had a very successful first edition CONSTELAR. We are very excited to get to know the second set of participants, as women will have the chance to access high quality content about innovation, entrepreneurship, prototyping, and financing. Also, they will have access to a program that draws attention to the needs of women in STEM, their environment, and who they are as leaders”. 

Francisco Briceño

Manager Costa Rican Promoter of Innovation and Investigation

“There is still a gap in women participation in STEM, as only 30% are in this area. With this initiative, the institution expects to close the gap, promoting several paths for women, innovation, and technical-scientific entrepreneurship”.

"This program was like a master's degree on how to leverage my company, to be prepared to look for investment, and how to present myself to potential investors. The advice throughout the process helped me to contextualize and have a better understanding of how the processes work, how to reach investors, and it has been very valuable”.
