Becoming a Business Woman with Anais Cisneros

In this episode of the Make Space for Growth podcast, Sara Vicente Barreto sits down with Anais Cisneros, co-founder of Amela, a private network designed to uplift entrepreneurs—especially women—by helping them build, fund, and scale their ventures.

From growing up in Peru with her nose buried in books to moving to Europe at 17 and building a global career across consulting, tech, and venture capital, Anais’s story is a testament to preparation, resilience, and purpose. Together, Sara and Anais explore why no amount of preparation is ever truly enough, the power of building networks early, and how decisiveness and empathy shape Anais’s leadership style.

This conversation goes beyond strategy—into joy, flow, and the small rituals that keep Anais grounded as she builds a platform to help founders leapfrog the hardest parts of entrepreneurship.

Tune in for wisdom on preparing for the journey, choosing your hard, and staying clear on your why.
