The Exponential Changemakers program sought to solve the Guatemalan housing deficit quantitative and qualitative through collaborative innovation with entrepreneurs from the world. Entrepreneurs from around the world were invited to an online application in which 12 of them were selected to participate for the judging week in Guatemala. Three days of Bootcamp, mentoring and pitches to select three projects with which a four-month pilot would be designed and executed. The collaboration between Progreso X and the startups sought to maintain the agility that characterizes the latter, for the preparation of co-development work plans. The biggest legacy of a human being is to leave its print by constructing a better world, let's all be exponential changemakers, so our print gets even bigger.
