Our guest, Kim Gamez, is the CEO and founder of Mi Padrino®, an online event planning service to help parents and families organize, plan, and fund events celebrated in the Hispanic tradition.Kim saw a need for a more efficient solution for organizing Quinceañeras, Weddings, Baptisms, and more for the Hispanic community. And, as a mother of 5, she deeply appreciated the complexity of coordinating all aspects of these time-honored traditions with families near and far. Her hope is that, with the use of Mi Padrino®, Latinos all over the world can be inspired, stay organized, and get the funding they need to have the events of their dreams.Talk about an inspirational business model – wow – I’m so excited for you to learn more about this phenomenal female founder and how she grew her startup with 5 children and a husband!Moms: you are going to laugh out loud when you hear Kim's story about the time she was a finalist at a $100,000 pitch contest. Yup, she was breastfeeding her baby when they announced she was the winner! Another favorite story Kim shares: when asked by investors: "How are you positioned to run this company and build it on an international scale?" Kim pointed to her prior businesses and responded "if you can be a landlord (she had several properties under management) and you can own a restaurant, you can do just about anything."Here's the link for SPARK Ann Harbor: https://annarborusa.org/entrepreneurial-services/Chloe Capital:https://chloecapital.com/Mi Padrino website:https://mipadrino.com/Please follow Mi Padrino on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mipadrinoeventsTwitter: https://twitter.com/mipadrinoeventsPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/mipadrinoevents/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mipadrinoevents/and connect with Kim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-gamez-34914bbb/If you’d like to receive an alert whenever I post a new episode, please follow the Startup Life Show wherever you listen to podcasts, including: Stitcher, Spotify or Apple/Google Podcasts… and let’s connect on social media!Do you have a startup story you’d like to share on the Startup Life Show podcast?
