Five and a half years after having founded his first company and some more after having co-founded the youth commission in the congress of the Republic of Colombia and the Alliance for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Alvaro Daza wanted to embark on a journey to make so many people visible as possible and manage to inspire others through their stories. he has already traveled through 54 countries with his 'together we can' initiative. 

He was born in Aguachica, in the northeast of the country. In his journey through life, he realized that many of the people who have access to opportunities are those who have historically had privileges. However, I knew that it was possible to make visible the leaders who work for their communities and want to change the world. Alvaro contacted these people with mentors and investors who can help them accelerate their impact through traveling the world making ordinary people visible, but who are doing incredible things for their communities. He wants these people to be influential for young people and that is why he shows them on social networks so that others can follow people who inspire them and help them reduce inequality gaps. Alvaro invites you to cross borders and no longer believe in stereotypes. The Colombian is currently in Malta, in search of entrepreneurs who want to change the world.

Quotes by Alvaro Daza

Imagine a Colombian Connecting ONE MILLION people with a MILLION OF STORIES and producing ONE MILLION BRACELETS in the 194 countries of the world for two years, imagine the power and scope of the initiative if for each bracelet a follower in networks is added, which You can see that million stories told through a window. Imagine that million bracelets that have that million stories, with the seal of Colombia written. That is my mission, that all the countries of the world, through a person who has a history of life perhaps distant from theirs and who comes from a country where we are much more than the stories of narcos and stereotypes that some insist in showing, they can understand that together we are stronger and that #TOGETHER We CAN change the world.
"So, when you meet someone who carries this red handle, it will be before an entrepreneur, someone who, without a doubt, gives himself to his dreams and not to the afflictions of life, well, as he affirms, Álvaro Daza, “ we are not alone, we are able to change the world if we unite. ”
