Hi!, I’m Eli Becerril

I help build strong communities, support entrepreneurs, SMBs, and make things work behind the scenes.

About Me

Strategic Operator | Community Advocate | Startup Ecosystem Builder

I love helping people build their ideas and grow.

For more than 10 years, I’ve worked with entrepreneurs, companies, and programs. I collaborated with 400+ community members in North, Central and South America to implement entrepreneurial programs. The impact resulted in 12,000+ entrepreneurs reached per year. I’ve organized events (in-person and online), managed teams, supported communities, and created better ways of working.

I believe in working together to make the world a better place. That is why I enjoy solving problems, planning projects, and supporting people so they can do their best work. I care about making things easier, more human, and more meaningful.
