Andrés Moreno is the founder of one of the best known and most successful companies in recent years in the field of learning the English language, Open English and it is this initiative that has led its creator to be one of the most famous Latin entrepreneurs. Andrés Moreno was born in Caracas, Venezuela on July 7, 1982, because his father had a job that required him to travel constantly he grew up in several countries such as Chile, Peru, Slovenia and the United States, being an influence for him to lean to the field of languages.
Regarding his studies, he studied Mechanical Engineering and Production at the Simón Bolívar University, although curiously he barely graduated due to him looking for a job according to his specialty, however he decided to start a project with which he would offer the teaching of the English language targeting people with important excecutive positions and financial solvency. Also for a few months he founded a company in his hometown of Caracas that targeted American university students who wanted to live and work in their country, for this reason he taught them the Spanish language and they taught the English language to executives especially of multinational companiesl this project was called Optimal but three years later it was finally called Open English.
However, this project had not yet taken him to the Internet, that occurred during 2007 when he met an engineer from his university and they both joined forces to create the Open English model, but some difficulties arose due to lack of capital so they looked for a way to finance the project themselves and during that time he spent two years sleeping on the sofa at his friend's house in the United States until his patience and effort began to bear fruit. Many did not believe that their project would be successful, but the key for Andrés Moreno was persistence and that is how it became one of the Internet businesses focused on language learning that had relentless success as it grew in 2010 with 5000 students approximately and this number increased in the following years.
Andrés Moreno is even the protagonist of many of his advertising campaigns for television and in addition to having business success with his business, he likes to support and encourage entrepreneurship especially in the latinamerican public. In fact one of his objectives is to offer enough knowledge to that people with an entrepreneurial spirit achieve their ideals and that is why he became a member of a board of a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing support to people seeking to undertake in the business world.
Andrés Moreno usually gives advice based on his own experience for all those entrepreneurs who seek success with their projects: perseverance and to fight for one's beliefs, meeting people, talking and sharing ideas with them; and planning is essential because at the beginning there are usually shortages of resources and it is also necessary to set clear objectives that can be achieved.
