OUR STORY

My parents were the first to notice and encourage her community development and entrepreneurship skills since she was 10 years-old.  My mother helped me collect empty medication boxes from family and friends. Soon enough I had enough to simulate a pharmacy shop in our backyard where I was the pharmacist/owner, and my cousins and neighbors, my employees and customers.   All this nurturing was setting me up for a clear path in Science, but as a teenager, I couldn’t wait to start making money. I launched a home fitness center for women, a flower market, and a child care service targeting consumers in my own neighborhood.  As I got older, I learned that creating businesses was at my core. During The Big Recession in 2008,  I realized how powerful those early experiences shaped my conviction to lifelong learning and helping communities like the one I grew up in Peru.  By 2019, there was enough evidence that automation was going to impact the likelihood of many of us.  Resuming to my childhood interests, I triggered memories of playing as a pharmacist to recreate happy moments that I could replicate to inspire vulnerable individuals facing job losses and living in extreme poverty. After running a non-scientific market research across 22 rural cities, Nxt Wave Founders (NWF) was born as a side-project by New Year's Eve of 2020.  COVID-19 couldn't present a better timing to follow our north star and fight for upward economic mobility for all through a low-carbon pathway that can be compatible with sustainable growth.

Coming from a finance, marketing and software development management background, Luisa Bracamonte weaves her design thinking expertise with her own human equity-centered approach to amplify the creativity needed to solve complex sustainability challenges.  Luisa has taught Business and Entrepreneurship in both — private and public Universities since 2006, and co-facilitates a ten-week Co-Creation Nation Fellowship since 2022 by incubating and promoting ‘anti-poverty’ and ‘anti-climate change denial’ solutions.  Luisa, whose family overcame poverty while growing up in Peru, has experience as a self-made entrepreneur, bootstrapping, discovering and applying graphical-spikes, mindfulness journaling and brain performance training in a wide range of design sectors and challenges such as the environment, human mobility, smart cities, regenerative agriculture, clean energy, and ecosystem building.  She toggles between practice as the Founder of Nxt Wave Founders, Inc., Co-Creation Nation and CapitalRaisery;  the academics as a Graduate Entrepreneurship Instructor and Leadership Coach, and as an independent, non-scientific researcher piloting the effectiveness of her proprietary The Fundable Entrepreneur Method©, an interactive series of graphical spike-mindfulness journaling to complement multiple start-up approaches.  Her goal is to connect all entrepreneurs with the genius inside every human being wishing to contribute to a more inclusive future; first, as a source of inspiration and optimism; and second, as an endeavor to move individuals, families and communities upward.
