Sirs:
MIT Technology Review Innovators under 35 Colombia 2016
I met the engineer Juan Carlos Abaunza during Apps.Co entrepreneurship program in 2015, in
which I was his mentor. The Apps.Co program is the most important entrepreneurship program
of the Colombian government, with an acceptance rate of less than 5% of applications.
Juan Carlos participated in apps.co with PlayFit (playfit.com.co) a startup which your company
will be a disruptive and high-impact application that will generate an excellent position in the
digital world for him and his company
This year he was presented with PlayFit to the call for MassChallenge Tel - Aviv and the
evaluation shows strengths in the business model, scalability problem to address, and form of
monetization market.
Juan Carlos has participated in programs to support entrepreneurs UIS students, doing shows
their interest in contributing to the other.
Academically Juan Carlos ranks among the top 5%, considering population engineering students
UIS 1996-2016 periods.
Best regards. If you have any questions or concerns regarding my recommendation, please do
not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,
Prof. Sergio-Fernando CASTILLO, Ph.D.
