As an Executive Board member of Kids' Chance of Florida, it is with a grateful and humble heart to partner with industry leaders like One Call, providing an employee-funded scholarship to Florida student Montse Gallegos. In August 2022, Montse’s father, a warehouse manager passed away due to injuries following a workplace accident. Later that year, Montse’s mother was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. On the heels of an extremely tragic year, the Kids’ Chance of Florida/One Call scholarship is enabling her to attend college without the added stress of tuition payments. “Workplace injuries affect the whole family,” said One Call CEO Jay Krueger. “While trying to overcome grief, families are also forced to deal with mounting financial pressures. We are sensitive to these burdensome situations, which is why we want to be a part of the solution. This scholarship provides the children of critically or fatally injured workers with a path forward. We are proud to play a small role in helping them attain a much brighter future.” Kids’ Chance of Florida is a state chapter of Kids’ Chance of America, a charitable organization that is dedicated to making a significant difference in the lives of all children affected by workplace injuries by helping them pursue and achieve their educational goals. Children of these workers can no longer count on the income of the injured or deceased parent. Accompanying the grief of loss, or the need to deal with an injured parent, is the increased likelihood that they cannot afford a college education. Since its founding in 1988, Kids' Chance of America has awarded more than 10,000 scholarships totaling more than $36 million.

Expert in Minimum Viable Product Development & Startup Strategy | Guide to Startup Founders | COO & CTO at ASPER BROTHERS - MVP Studio | Startup Mentor at GrowthMentor
I've made it to GrowthMentor's April Leaderboard! 🎉 In the past month, I connected with 15 founders and earned 12 reviews from early-stage startups to established businesses scaling their operations. Here are the major obstacles founders face: → Effective idea validation is often a challenge. → User research and integrating it into product development and growth isn't easy. → Limited market research makes it challenging to shape growth. → An unclear North Star leads to confusion in prioritizing user feedback. → Overextended marketing efforts lead to unfocused traffic and poor conversions. → Lack of social proof hinders trust-building and conversion rates. → Organization, reporting, SOPs, and workflows aren't optimized for scalability. For early-stage founders, enthusiasm for promising prototypes often turns into confusion about idea validation and strategic direction. Established founders face challenges with operations, marketing, and sales conversions. On the flip side, everybody has a strong ability to craft prototypes and build early traction. I left the month with promising long-term mentoring relationships and look forward to helping these founders. If you're navigating similar challenges, let's connect and tackle them together!
