Part of Puerto Rico’s post-Hurricane Maria economic recovery is being powered by startups. Parallel18 is a small business incubator that is trying to assist Puerto Ricans who are creating startups.
Bettina Maestre and Sebastian Vidal of Parallel18 say they are trying to make their business a startup hub. Puerto Rico’s new entrepreneurs include Karla López, who has founded a high end shoe company called Isleñas, and Carla Bauzá López, president of Ogma Language Studio.
