ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

Frances Méndez’s drive comes from her heritage, giving back to her roots. Ryan’s drive comes from his fascination and love for digital innovation and entrepreneurship and support for people everywhere to have the opportunity to succeed. They decided to meld their two loves to become the philanthropic creative arm known as AURORA VENTURES.

“Aurora” is a nod to Frances’ mother who she lost early on in life. Through her legacy, she hopes that this is the dawn of a new opportunity to be a part of supporting growth in back to her roots in Cuba, as well as Latin America and other parts of the world.
