Orlando Bravo Commits $100 Million to Bravo Family Foundation to Promote Entrepreneurship and Economic Development in Puerto Rico

May 16, 2019

SAN FRANCISCO and MAYAGÜEZ, Puerto Rico, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Orlando Bravo, managing partner of private equity firm Thoma Bravo and founder of the Bravo Family Foundation, today announced he will personally contribute $100 million to his foundation to promote entrepreneurship and economic development in Puerto Rico, where Bravo was raised, and his family still lives.

Bravo will leverage his financial resources and professional relationships – including access to Thoma Bravo’s global network of investors, companies and senior executives – to establish, in perpetuity, on-the-ground initiatives focused on encouraging young entrepreneurs in Puerto Rico. Initial support will be dedicated to the Rising Entrepreneurs program. The Bravo Family Foundation has offices in San Francisco and Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico’s residents are plagued by narrow financial support and insufficient resources to create and sustain new business ventures, resulting in limited economic mobility and reinforcing a cycle of poverty, which was exacerbated by the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria. Bravo knows from personal experience that local entrepreneurial talent is being forced to find opportunities off the island. The poverty rate in Puerto Rico is 44%, compared to the national U.S. average of 14%. Puerto Rico ranks fifth among 187 countries in terms of income inequality, according to a 2016 study conducted by the United Nations. Bravo’s gift is dedicated to creating a more just society in Puerto Rico, in which youths of all socioeconomic backgrounds have access to personal growth and economic development opportunities.

“We want to foster entrepreneurship in individuals, particularly on the western coast of Puerto Rico where I grew up. I see the innate talent, skills and vitality of so many young people who thirst for opportunity but are held back by poverty and debilitating macroeconomic forces,” said Orlando Bravo. “Our objective is to fuse the talent and potential that abound in Puerto Rico with opportunity and hope. By identifying, funding and mentoring entrepreneurs, we will help lay the foundation for long-term economic success on the island.”

Bravo explained: “Our tactical, on-the-ground approach provides action-oriented entrepreneurs with genuine opportunities to help them attain their business goals, strengthen local communities and access a lifelong network of corporate mentors. Puerto Rico has a tremendous talent base and we are going to provide the funding, structure and support from Thoma Bravo volunteers and others in the business community. It will be a powerful combination.”

The Rising Entrepreneurs Program, launching in summer 2019, will support early to mid-stage tech entrepreneurs with the knowledge, access, and capital to create a more inclusive and sustainable ecosystem for tech companies in Puerto Rico. To promote business creation among recent graduates and young professionals of Puerto Rican heritage, living in or willing to move to Puerto Rico, the program will focus on tech service or product development and the fundamentals of how to run an effective business. The Foundation will invite annual applications in which those selected will receive a one-time seed grant, access to mentors and Bravo’s Mayagüez-based office hub throughout the 12-week curriculum and beyond, to get their business successfully launched.

“The devastating effects of Hurricane Maria are still being felt on the island a year and a half later. The median annual household income is $19,500, compared to a median income of $59,000 for the rest of the United States. And the extraordinarily high poverty rate is simply heartbreaking,” said Guiomar García Guerra, Executive Director of the Bravo Family Foundation. “There is a significant need for capital and mentorship. Orlando’s gift and personal involvement will create opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs and committed youth to achieve their full potential and help Puerto Rico rebound and thrive. This is a journey and we are in it for the long haul.”

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Maria, The Bravo Family Foundation, using a $10 million gift from Bravo, provided critical aid to isolated areas along Puerto Rico’s west coast, ultimately developing a supply chain model that ensured equipment and supplies were delivered directly to residents who were most in need. Bravo and his team deployed air and sea cargo operations to transport supplies to Puerto Rico.

The images and stories will be featured on SCAN’s social channels throughout 2019.

They really bring to life the beauty and diversity in aging,” continued Wing. “SCAN is committed to ensuring older adults have access to services and resources to remain healthy and independent, and we’re very proud to help celebrate these remarkable seniors.”

SCAN is collaborating with Los Angeles-based photographer, Robert Duron, to capture the images and stories of the centenarians.

This campaign has centered on celebrating the benefits and versatility of this tasty and healthy food – a natural source of antioxidant vitamin E and central element of the Mediterranean diet. As brand ambassador, José Andrés communicated to the media by not only telling but allowing them to taste the great quality dishes that can be created through the variety of European olives available. Chef Andrés is a great advocate of olives, due to his European origin, and he uses them in a variety of dishes as a star ingredient.

Travel + Leisure Magazine named Philadelphia the Best Food City on the East Coast in 2018, the birthplace of the United States continues to impress and excite the food scene.

Beat the Crowds and Stick to Your Travel Budget This Summer

May 16, 2019

MIAMI, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — One of the biggest drawbacks of summer vacation travel is quite simply, dealing with too many other tourists. You want to have an epic summer getaway but you don’t want it to rival a trip to a theme park during peak season. With that in mind, Skyscanner.com, the global travel search engine, identified the busiest travel destinations during the summer months and curated great alternative, “underrated” destinations that give you all the flair without the flock, and are budget friendly too!

Skyscanner collated and analyzed data from its more than 60 million monthly users – both historic data as well as current search and booking trends for the upcoming summer season – to pinpoint the most popular destinations during June, July and August and worthy alternatives that won’t not only break the bank, but help travelers avoid the typical summer tourist traps. The result was a medley of domestic and international destinations that are not only unexpected but also under the radar, and let you fulfill your summer travel angst.

Las Vegas, NV vs. New Orleans, LA ($254) – Thanks to Mardi Gras, New Orleans has all the street cred it needs as a party destination. Yet this Louisiana hotspot sees less than a quarter of the visitors of Las Vegas during the summer.
London, England vs. Belfast, Ireland ($616) – During the summer months, London experiences its busiest season. Northern Ireland’s capital city is both beautifully modern and charmingly old school. Attend an open-air concert at the Titanic slipways or visit the museums dedicated to the ship in its birthplace. The Botanical Gardens here are well worth a visit.
New York, NY vs. Austin, TX ($273) – Along with New York’s monumental reputation comes massive crowds, especially in the summer. Austin, Texas on the other hand, is a lot cooler (and weirder) than it’s given credit for – visit the Cathedral of Junk, an underground oasis or checkout pro skee ball leagues in action.
Los Angeles, CA vs. Myrtle Beach, SC ($190) – With immaculate golden sands, the beaches at Myrtle Beach are the city’s main draw. Reminiscent of the Santa Monica Pier, one of the country’s tallest Ferris wheels sits atop the boardwalk of the beach town where more than 100 golf courses are nearby that accommodate skill levels from beginners to lifelong golfers.
Orlando, FL vs. Punta Gorda, FL ($189) – Punta Gorda is home to nearly as many activities and close to the same day-trip destinations as Orlando, but with way fewer people. Just north of Fort Myers, Punta Gorda sits on a beautiful harbor surrounded by state parks, and is home to museums and distilleries.
Paris, France vs. Strasbourg, France ($661) – Strasbourg is known for its adorable old town called “La Petite France” (Little France) built on the banks of winding canals. The towering Strasbourg Cathedral is admired worldwide for its stunningly detailed Gothic architecture.
Denver, CO vs. Moncton, Canada ($465) – Complete with all the outdoorsy vibes you could ever hope for, Moncton features some of the best seafood you can get your hands on. You can visit nearby natural beauties like Blomidon and explore the apple orchards, or watch the tide roll in at the Bay of Fundy.
Cancun, Mexico vs. Puerto Escondido, Mexico ($525) – The waters may look like the typical turquoise of the Caribbean, but this region of Mexico sees significantly fewer visitors than Cancun. At Puerto Escondido’s popular surf beach, Zicatella, you’ll find restaurants with international cuisine. On the other side of town, you’ll find a more laid back and local vibe, where beaches like Carrizillilo and Coral are perfect for swimming, surf lessons or blissful relaxation.
Bangkok, Thailand vs. Siem Riep, Cambodia ($763) – Tourists are often told to only spend a few days in Bangkok – not for lack of things to see and do, but because there’s almost too much. Siem Reap in neighboring Cambodia is much more laidback, and most tourists in Siem Reap are there to see the famous temples of ancient Angkor Wat.
Tokyo, Japan vs. Jeju, South Korea ($868) – Nicknamed “The Hawaii of South Korea,” Jeju has both luxury resorts and secluded natural oases. Hikeable volcanoes and forested national parks provide plenty of opportunity for adventure, as does the eclectic cuisine. The really brave can try the island’s famous live octopus.
