UndocuStartup™ with Juan Maya Hernandez
Overcoming epilepsy & obstacles as an undocumented/DACA immigrant, I launched my first business at 19 (without DACA) and scaled it to fund my UCLA studies. With $30,000 in grants from accelerator/entrepreneurship programs, I've set out to help undocumented students get jobs through entrepreneurship. Tune into my podcast as I share lessons building my company as an undocumented entrepreneur.
