Alvaro Gonzalez didn't set out to revolutionize educationhe just couldn't watch his home country of Venezuela struggle without doing something. At just 25, this telecommunications engineer channeled his frustration into founding Deware, launching the first online high schools in Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras, and now in the US.
This isn't a typical tech success story. It's about someone who knew nothing about education but everything about determination. Alvaro saw countless young people unable to access quality schooling and built a bridge using technology. Now, Deware doesn't just run schoolsit empowers others to create their own.
In this conversation, host Teasha Cable explores the emotional drive behind his mission, the obstacles he overcame, and how one person's commitment to their community can spark widespread change. If you've ever wondered how to turn adversity into opportunity, Alvaro's journey will show you it's possible.
