After a few years diving into clean tech in Europe, Dago (@Dagocedillos on Twitter) decided to jump back into native Mexico to launch a new startup venture.

Mid way through raising their funding, COVID19 hit.

But while those operations stopped, did Dago just stay put?

Not at all.

With the help of his girlfriend and while staying close to family, Dago has been able to use his skills to put respirators back in actions, help redesign new units, chart out the progress of the disease and the crisis in the country, all the while trying to beat his Mum at learning a new language.

You’ll have to listen to this one to believe it.

You can follow him on Twitter https://twitter.com/dagocedillos and take a look and provide feedback in his medium article about an alternative way to stop support the economy during social distancing https://medium.com/@dagocedillos/can-we-press-pause-on-our-economy-6e2d13d3d2fa

Dago’s book suggestion was Utopia for Realists, by Rutger Bregman.
