Venture Access - Inter- American Educational Consortium
Education - Opportunity - Impact.
Our History
The history of the Inter-American Educational Consortium (IAEC) is long, starting as an aide to protect at risk children in central Texas in the 1970’s. The non-profit morphed into a center of excellence to nurture entrepreneurship throughout the Americas. In that role we have provided entrepreneur training in Santiago, Chile; Mexico City, Mexico; Costa Rica, and other places, enabling a cadre of start-up businesses to develop and to positively affect local opinions of such issues as self-reliance and globalization.
The programs in these countries targeted disadvantaged local groups and included training in software and entrepreneurial education aimed at allowing the participants to start a business by formulating a business opportunity, assessing the opportunity, developing the business/technical idea, and pitching the idea for funding.
Our Mission
Education and development for entrepreneurs are the key issues addressed
by the Inter-American Educational Consortium. IAEC uses a social and communal system of developing entrepreneurs and developing their embryonic enterprises. Our affiliate, Tech Ranch, has had considerable success graduating thousands of new entrepreneurs under the leadership of Kevin Koym. We at IAEC take advantage of this existing expertise to train our budding entrepreneurs.
The Inter-American Educational Consortium provides entrepreneurial development and training for disadvantaged groups and veterans with prioritization of business ideas capable of producing leveraged or impact investing results that will transform the communities they serve.
