La experiencia en Área 31 (Ketekelo)
Ketekelo es un ecommerce del mundo del bebé que ofrece todos los artículos con opción Renove, para ahorrar durante los dos primeros años del bebé. A finales del año pasado, decidimos inscribirnos para optar a la residencia en Área 31 y al programa Pasión>ie, organizado por el IE junto a Accenture. Como la mayoría de start ups, necesitábamos seguir creciendo y ampliando conocimientos.
Finalmente Ketekelo resultó finalista en la 4ª edición de proyectos de Pasion>ie en la categoría de Distribución comercial del futuro y también pudimos optar al espacio de Área 31. Esto nos permitió disfrutar, desde enero de 2015, del programa de Pasion>ie. Tras finalizar el ciclo completo, hacemos un repaso por los puntos que más nos han ayudado a lo largo de estos meses, cargados de experiencias y nuevas ideas. See more here
