Compartimos LIVE con Emmanuel Oquendo de BrainHi y nos contó sobre cómo BrainHi se está reinventando para continuar ofreciendo sus soluciones de inteligencia artificial a la industria de servicios médicos.

YCombinator is one of the leading early-stage US investors in Latin America, and has served as a signal for other US investors to start making their first investments in the region. Since accepting its first Latin American founder in 2013, the region’s presence in the accelerator program has significantly increased. The most recent batch had over 15 companies from Latin America. In this episode, we’ve gathered advice from 8 founders, some we’ve interviewed previously, and some new ones, that have participated in YCombinator. They talk about their experience going through the program and give tips to founders in the interview process, which can also be useful for other accelerators. We start off with Christian Van der Henst from Platzi who describes YCombinator as the handbook of doing business in Silicon Valley, followed by Deepak Chhugani from Nuvocargo who explains how he thinks entrepreneurs can maximize resources and mentorship from the program.  Next is Emmanuel Oquendo from BrainHi who talks about being the first Puerto Rican startup to get into YCombinator and gives advice for the interview process. He’s followed by João de Paula from Glio who talks about the importance of finding a work-life balance in YCombinator’s fast-paced environment.  Truora’s David Bilbao then explains how Latin Americans should leave storytelling for last and be more concise in their responses during the interview process. Next is Freddy Vega from Platzi who talks about the importance of understanding your metrics, and Marta Forero from Ubits gives tips on how to prepare 15-second responses for the interview.  And finally, Pedro Goes from InEvent gives advice on how to think about what you want to share with the partners at YCombinator.

We officially started a new adventure! Our first episode of Fusion Tech, featured Emmanuel Oquendo, CEO of BrainHi. BrainHi is a Puerto Rican #startup focused on leverage #AI in healthcare. Enjoy this episode!

On September 20th, 2017, Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico, leaving a permanent mark on the Caribbean island and its people. Most budding startups shut down operations for up to a few months as the nation recuperated. One company, BrainHi, doubled down after the hurricane, helping doctors and dentists treat more patients by automating the process of taking appointments through their AI technology. I sat down with BrainHi co-founder and CEO, Emmanuel Oquendo to share his story of how BrainHi survived the hurricane to become the first Puerto Rican startup to get into YCombinator. I’m lucky to be able to work with Emmanuel and Israel as we invested while they were in Parallel 18, Puerto Rico’s equity free accelerator. We discuss Emmanuel’s childhood in Puerto Rico, his desire to solve big problems from the island, and how to leverage his experience in Puerto Rico while pitching in Silicon Valley. Check out the rest of the episode for Emmanuel’s advice for startups who want to reach YC from Latin America and how he has grown BrainHi from Puerto Rico to the world. Human capital is everywhere, but resources are not. Emmanuel characterizes Puerto Rico as an island where “people haven’t had it easy, so we try to support each other through the struggles.” He credits this supportive community as a key to BrainHi’s success. Yet many Puerto Ricans, especially those with higher education, end up leaving the island in search of more opportunity in the US. It’s not that the US has better talent, says Emmanuel. It just have more resources. Listen to this episode to hear how Emmanuel came to realize Puerto Rico’s strength while he was working in Boston and how he became obsessed with solving the island’s brain drain problem. More of an evolution than an “aha” moment. BrainHi was not the result of an epiphany that hit Emmanuel one day. After becoming fascinated with AI technology, he began creating custom chatbots and soon found they sold particularly well with one customer niche: doctors. Yet as they participated in Parallel18, Puerto Rico’s government accelerator, Hurricane Maria left the country paralyzed. BrainHi got quickly back on its feet, selling to doctors who need the technology to keep up with demand. Listen to this episode to hear Emmanuel and his team’s inspirational story of getting going again a few days after the hurricane and how BrainHi’s sales-first approach helped them grow in the Hurricane’s aftermath. “It felt like the world exploded.” On a night in San Francisco, surrounded by Puerto Rican entrepreneurs, BrainHi became the first Puerto Rican startup in Y Combinator. After that, it was back-to-back office hours with the accelerator’s entire network. Emmanuel’s advice to startups in YC: ask every question you can think of. No one will tell you how to build your business, but they will answer all your questions.   Check out this episode of Crossing Borders to hear more of Emmanuel’s advice for Y Combinator, including interview strategies and how to pitch to VCs in Silicon Valley if you are from Latin America.   The story of BrainHi, from bootstrapped business to YC graduate, is one that many entrepreneurs dream of. Emmanuel’s passion for combating brain drain in Puerto Rico by helping build the local ecosystem is contagious and his energy has helped drive BrainHi to success. I hope you enjoy this episode of Crossing Borders as much as I did! Show Notes: [1:40] - Nathan introduces Emmanuel [2:07] - Where is BrainHi today?

Hace como un año cuando estaba haciendo la lista para entrevistas de la segunda temporada, mi hermano me dijo, tienes que poner a este chamaquito Emmanuel en tu lista. Lo estoy recomendando para un proyecto en valija, y el tipo está super duro. Si no lo han hecho todavía vayan y escuchen el episodio 14 de la segunda temporada. BrainHi llevaba a penas meses, y todavía no tenían su producto. Menos de un año mas tarde, lograron convertirse en uno de los startups boricuas mas interesantes, logrando entrar a la aceleradora mas importante del mundo, Y Combinator. Esta entrevista fue a dos días de que los aceptaran, y es un verdadero “How to get into Y Combinator”. Aunque la grabamos hace meses, fue la semana pasada que levantaron el press embargo, y finalmente puedo compartir esta entrevista con ustedes.   Como he estado compartiendo ya todo el segundo season está...

Sentarme con Emmanuel estuvo super divertido. Primero, no savia que había gente trabajando en serio con AI en la isla, mucho menos haciendo implementaciones con uso masivo. Aquí hablamos de lo que es Inteligencia Artificial, de cómo se está usando, y como cuando se hace bien, ni te enteras de que ahí está.   Subscríbete a el podcast en iTunes y en otras plataformas de podcasts.
