Jorge Fco. Suárez Basáñez’s Summary

I've got a passion for BUSINESS DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTING.

Have a ton of failed business ventures. Their design, development and selling has given me a bit of experience to be persistent and focused to my only goal: Achieving passive income via business model design and investing in different assets that would eventually give me a cash-flow that surpasses by far the living expenses of the life I want to live.

I hope that those experiences work for us somehow. It would be great.

General Manager

KaraOKulta Studios

(Arts and Crafts industry)

January 2004 — Present (5 years 11 months)

I used to write for fun. Articles, poems, STORIES!!! as a hobbie. Finally a bunch of guys and me found the opportunity to make out of our hobbie a business. In our first phase offering art outsourcing for comic books and doing our first edition by ourselves and failing miserably. Using another office of our corporate headquarters karaokulta studios was born and not anymore as a weekend project.

In late 2007 and 2008.. KARAOKULTA is invited to do a joint venture (we were being invited as PARTNERS if we attained certain goals that never seemed clarified) to METACUBE.COM.MX , trying to transform ideas and fine arts into animation, vfx and production of quality series or movies ... sadly it didn't work out.

Now, the Innolicensing model designed in KoK, is just a spare time project.
Technology Advisor ::: Innovation projects via enabling tech (Software development)
Innox (Self-employed)

(Self-Employed; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

June 2003 — Present (6 years 6 months)

At Consultcorp's 4th year, 3 tech-entrepreneurs approached to us selling us an e-learning platform that they had developed. Undergraduate students Roberto Ibarra, Edgar Romero and Juan Carlos González had worked in some projects that made them programming mavens, we partnered up, in order to share offices, telephones and technology developed. To this day my participation as a partner in the company is directly proportional to the INNOVATION SERVICES AND VALUE PROPOSAL that is now defined to be the profit platform for Innox in the next 5 years.
Principal

Consultcorp ::: Innovation and optimization consulting and training

(Professional Training & Coaching industry)

May 1999 — Present (10 years 7 months)

After being the commercial director of the company for 7 years, the company enters a recession and breaking point. I get out a bit more of the business system leaving it with its minimum expression having to lay-off almost all of its personnel and merging its experience and people somehow into my venture at Innox and DAM162. Consultcorp reports to date sporadic sales and profits still coming from its 9 year clients and direct projects with the government and its indirect dependencies.

Business Developer - Failed business venture

DAM162 ::: Innovation through design to maintain a sparkle of individuality

(Design industry)

May 1999 — October 2007 (8 years 6 months)

After being part of the firm, as the engineering division, that finally popped out to be Consultcorp, my business partners Eduardo García, and Oscar Valencia called me to acquire a third of the firm in 2006 in order to take it to the next challenge...Internationalization.

Developing a UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSAL and opening our division in Miami Florida, is now a reality thanks to our partnership with Andres Moline and Andrew Morrison. Im was in charge of systematizing the innovation we are fostered through design to new markets while still developing products, services and experiences here in México for some of its most important companies and brands, like Camel (from British American Tobacco), Stanza (the premium line of water mixers and bathroom accesories from Urrea), etc.
Business Partner - Failed Business Venture

Mundoadom ::: Laundry, ironing and shoe polishing service with just a phone call

(Partnership; 1-10 employees; Consumer Services industry)

October 2002 — March 2006 (3 years 6 months)

Almost considered a failed business venture. Along with a most admirable friend of mine Braulio Fernandez. Searching for a cashflow cow that would help us out we designed and financed the project. It has been operating with red numbers until now.

It can almost be considered a business failure that helped us learn a lot. (I think it is the 3rd one for me... and Braulio too!!! We will keep on trying.)
