Total Expected Roadmap
2. While we are in discussions with investment funds such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), our plan is focused on scaling and growing through organic means. We aim to expand our user base rapidly by maintaining a lean operational structure and minimizing costs, which allows us to stay agile and responsive to market needs without heavy financial overhead.
* For operational expenses as we scale and grow, we, the founding partners along with commitments from friends and family, are prepared to invest to support the launch and initial growth phase. This backing ensures that we can maintain our lean approach while effectively responding to emerging needs and opportunities.

With over 15 years of experience as a Strategist and Researcher, I've worked extensively across both the private and public sectors in Latin America and Europe. My career has been driven by my passion for developing strategies, products, and services that prioritize human and business needs.
I am dedicated to leading Wademy with a focus on curating high-quality content and fostering relationships. My global network is extensive, having lived in Argentina and worked on projects throughout Peru, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Colombia, the United States, and Spain, where I am currently based.
I collaborate with a business partner who brings a robust administrative and financial background to our venture. Although she won't be involved in day-to-day operations, her insights are invaluable. As for the rest of the project, I work with trusted agencies and freelancers, ensuring flexibility and quality—essential for a startup like Wademy. As the project scales, we plan to expand our team, especially in customer service and marketing, but our model will remain scalable through technology, leveraging automated solutions linked to WhatsApp.
