Driving business development in Puerto Rico requires more than capital – it requires connections, vision and mentoring. As part of our commitment to those who grow our economy, FirstBank for Business is proud to present the BE Fest 2025 Mentor Lounge, a space created to accompany entrepreneurs in their next steps and which will take place on Friday, August 29, at the Puerto Rico Convention Center.
Organized by Entrepreneurs’ Organization Puerto Rico (EO PR), this exclusive 1:1 mentoring space is part of the BE Fest 2025 event – one of the most relevant platforms for the island’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, and which features the participation of leaders from various industries.
Our leaders will be there
Through the Mentor Lounge, two of our executives will be providing mentoring sessions and sharing their experience in strategic areas of the business ecosystem:
-
Caleb Navarro: Entrepreneurship, Finance and Analytics
-
Ildefonso Rodríguez: Business Finance, SBA Guarantees, and Bank Requirements
These sessions will provide opportunities to clarify doubts and explore new ideas, with timely recommendations from financial leaders with a proven track record in promoting business in Puerto Rico.
How does the Mentor Lounge work?
-
The 20-minute sessions are private, and reserved on the day of the event.
-
Each person can schedule a mentoring session.
-
Mentoring will be available between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
This space has been designed to connect entrepreneurs with experts who can help define strategies, evaluate opportunities, and make high-impact decisions.
