About
For over a decade, Centro para Emprendedores has been helping people across Puerto Rico turn their ideas into sustainable businesses. From aspiring founders to established small business owners, our mission is to make entrepreneurship accessible to everyone — especially in underserved communities.
This year marks a new chapter: we’ve opened our first permanent home in Río Piedras, San Juan. Once a bustling commercial hub, Río Piedras is ready for revitalization — and we want to be part of that change. Our new space will offer mentoring, training, coworking, and community events that spark creativity and economic growth right where it’s needed most.
Our Impact
- Over 6,000 entrepreneurs trained and mentored since 2012.
- More than 100 new small businesses and startups launched with our support.
- Over $15 million in capital raised by the entrepreneurs we’ve assisted.
- New programs in digital transformation, financial education, and business resilience reaching communities across the island.
With our new center in Río Piedras, we aim to serve hundreds more entrepreneurs each year, while creating a hub of collaboration, innovation, and local pride.
