Year 2: Niñas del Mañana in Tonatico, MX, June 2025

2026 Program Highlights

Building on the success of the first year, the July 2026 program welcomed 22 young women who arrived ready to move from concept to execution. Weeks before the summit, teams began virtual entrepreneurship sessions and received mentorship from Besai Arizmendi, founder of Fresco Local and a former participant on Shark Tank México.

The three-day summit focused on product development, branding, packaging, marketing, financial planning, and professional presentation skills. Bange Vilchis Ávila led a workshop on how to build a successful pitch, helping students clarify their value propositions and communicate with confidence.

During the Future Founders Challenge, teams presented to community leaders and Alejandro Razo, Director General of the Mexican Entrepreneurship Institute. Each team had ten minutes to explain its venture, demonstrate its product, and defend its strategy.
