Recap:

"Not the same old thing that you hear all the time at most conferences!  Can't believe it was the first time for this event, was a great success!  The speakers, data shared, and companies presenting were top notch.”  – Eduardo Rallo, Managing Director, PCV Fund.

"At Best Buy we are constantly looking to learn what new products and services entrepreneurs are trying to bring to the market in service of our customers. Mitch succeeded greatly in this first conference and achieved just that, bringing entrepreneurs targeting the Hispanic market together with investors interested in the space. I am very proud Best Buy sponsored this first conference focused on the Hispanic market, and I'm looking forward to the next one."  – Ben Morales, Hispanic Corporate Development, Best Buy and presenting sponsor.

“Congratulations on an outstanding first conference!  I am proud to have been a part of your inaugural event.  Hopefully you’ll do more such conferences.  I would be happy to participate again if you ever need my help.” – Tom Castro, CEO and Founder Border Media Partners and keynote speaker. 

“Many thanks for hooking us up with Mitch and the Entrada Venture Forum.  It was an excellent experience for us and we made a lot of great contacts.” – Grant Goad, CEO Misrolas.com and panelist.

Mitch Posada, Grupo Entrada's CEO, did an amazing job of creating this very successful event from scratch.  This first "release" was focused on the New Media business and it was a resounding success.  People flew in from all over the US and even from Mexico.  Tom Castro, a very successful radio entrepreneur and investor, gave the keynote and did a fantastic job of it.  When he was done I felt lucky to have been in the room.” – Matt Perez, CEO of Nearsoft and event partner.

Closing remarks from our Presenting Sponsor:
Best Buy is committed to meeting the needs of the Hispanic marketplace across the U.S.  We are utilizing our customer and employee insights to understand customer needs; and looking to Silicon Valley and other innovation hubs for new solutions to these needs.  We've partnered with several start-ups already and want to strengthen our Silicon Valley
