When Carlos & Luis Romero decided to start LiVi, a live stream by request mobile app, their idea was fueled by life experience and an unwavering desire to help people. While both brothers knew that their veteran backgrounds and work experience in law enforcement (including the Marines, Army, and Department of Defense) would make them great founders, they were looking for a program that could help them take the right steps for their company.
Their initial idea was clear and based on life experience. While the two found themselves moving around a lot, due to their jobs, they realized that there was a lack of transparency and an ability to preview when it came to visiting a new place. For example, individuals were not able to request live streaming of a place of residency but rather, they would have to take the time to visit a residence before making final decisions.
Realizing there was a need for a previewing resource, Carlos and his brother set out to create something that would help people, including those in law enforcement, that encountered their same problems. The directors and mentors of the Founder Institute provided Carlos & Luis with the insight they needed to refine and reshape their idea not just during the program, but after graduation as well. In fact, many of the Founder Institute mentors are active advisors for LiVi today!
With the right ecosystem, and the right set of entrepreneurial skills, all they needed was some guidance. The Founder Institute Miami helped provide them with the efficiency and structure they knew would make them successful.
The Founder Institute helped us save money and spend money the right way.
