My name is Christine De La Rosa, and I’m thrilled to join this community. Huge thanks to David for the invitation. I’m a serial entrepreneur and capital strategist who somehow manages to live in three states and two countries at once. Most days you’ll find me in Jalisco, MX, and the rest of the time I’m running companies across California, New Mexico, and Texas. I grew up in tech as a database architect, but my entrepreneurial life has taken me everywhere. In earlier chapters I co-owned two restaurants, a retail shop, and several plant-based ventures. Today I lead Systema Vida, a full back-office SaaS that gives life, business, and fitness coaches the power of a big organization without the big-organization cost. I also run my own executive coaching practice supporting new founders and founders preparing to raise capital. I’m the CEO of GPCOR, a purpose-driven clinical registry for patients exploring plant-based medicine. And this April, I’m opening REGRESA, my first wellness retreat here in Mexico. I’m genuinely excited to be here among mi gente. Deep respect to all the founders and builders in this space. I love the mission of The Latino Startup and can’t wait to dive in.
