The price of being an entrepreneur
Hello!
?Hey, it’s been a long time since I wrote to you, but here I am again!
The reason behind this long silence is pretty simple. As some of you might already know, we are in our Series A fundraising and, as I expect you’ll understand, time is of the essence. I am focusing all my time and energy on this new chapter of our Citibeats adventure to enter 2023. The name of the chapter: Consolidating.
You know, I immensely enjoyed sharing with you my ideas, my readings, and also fun facts from my private life, and getting your feedback and comments, and I kind of felt bad about not being able to communicate with you as I did before in the past few months. But I had to remind myself that before being a CEO, I am a human being with mental (if you don’t believe me, read this article about the price of entrepreneurship) and physical limits. Yes, sorry to disappoint you, no supermen here! I hope you appreciate the honesty! :)
I am pretty sure many of you can relate to my situation, and that’s why I wanted to share with you this article with a few tips about how a CEO can manage their mental health while fundraising.
The fundraising is going well, I must say. If you want to tag along and join us in our mission to embed human insights into impact investment and policy-making, just drop me a line. Contact me also if you happen to be from the 15th to the 20th of January 2023 at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, in Davos or if you think you know someone who might be interested.
Also, I wanted to invite you to Ethical AI Community - Building a Better Society from Barcelona to the World, an event created by Citibeats in collaboration with NTT DATA Europe & Latam.
The Ethical AI Community was created to, among other things, democratize AI and open Citibeats’ algorithm so that all experts can contribute to making it more representative and inclusive. Now, it is time to physically present the community to the whole world and, specifically, to the city of Barcelona. So, save the date!
?? When: 24th of November from 4 pm CET to 7 pm CET
?? Where: At the #NTTDATALivingLab in Barcelona

? Why: Because we want to create a more representative AI for a better and more inclusive society and to do that, we need your help!?
?? Who: There will be international experts from various fields who will join us to share their ideas and points of view about topics such as ethical AI, gender segmentation, responsible technology, bias detection, the importance of representativity, and more.
Just one last thing! Ethical AI Community - Building a Better Society from Barcelona to the World is an in-person meeting and registration is required (more info here: https://bit.ly/3WAjKf7).
?Finally, I’d like to leave you with...
A picture to inspire you.
A song to move you.
A quote from Lord Tennyson to tickle your brain: “Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.”
See you in a month (or more probably in 2023!) and, in the meantime, if you want to give me feedback - I’d really appreciate it! - or get in touch with me, please contact me on LinkedIn, Instagram (@ivanonearth), or Twitter (@i_caballero).?
Best of luck with the funding round Ivan and for the event with NTT!
Always ahead of your time, Ivan. And always leading technology for good. I remember when you created Social Coin before others understood the opportunities to create beneficial technology for the planet. I am glad you are back! You were never gone in my mind!
