As Founder of GBI (Grow your Business Initiatives), Hans Michel Beaugelus has experience in securing key partnerships to advance the company’s strategic objectives. During the YLAI fellowship program, Hans Michel aims to learn how to implement BlockChain and AI technology in small businesses, grow his network of experts in the areas of finance, marketing & technology, and explore new strategies to more effectively gain customers and enter new markets. Upon returning to Haiti, Hans Michel plans to launch two new functions on GBI’s online platform in a strategic marketing campaign to increase his intake of new customers. An additional goal is to provide support to young entrepreneurs facing the legal and fiscal requirements of establishing a business in Haiti and thereby minimize their risk of becoming discouraged in their new ventures.
