Partnership Proposal · May 2026
"In 12 months: 50,000 Colombians buying Colombian products, with the money staying in Colombia."
Every time a Colombian buys online, there's a 63% chance their money flies out of the country. This isn't a technical detail — it's money leaving and never coming back.
This is NOT ideology. It's simple math. Let's see what happens to $50,000 COP based on where Camila buys the same wayuu bag.
Centro Comercial Lo Nuestro de Bogotá is Colombia's wholesale heart. Thousands of merchants sell clothing, accessories, home and beauty goods from downtown Bogotá. They move millions every day — in cash, with no online store, no delivery. Plazi digitizes that entire ecosystem.
No jargon: TAM is "the whole pie." SAM is "the slice we're aiming for." SOM is "what we eat in year 3."

We don't reinvent the wheel. We use the same things the world's big tech companies use — but built for Colombia. Each row below has a "simple" explanation and a "technical" one.
Architectural decision: zero legacy, max velocity. If we 100x, we migrate without rewriting.
This is NOT what we're going to pay — it's what it would cost today to hire an agency to build it from scratch.
Difference $113k (cost) → $200k (market price): margin + risk + management. We pay it at market rate. That difference is Invent's equity contribution.
Total capital: ~$250,000 USD ($1,030M COP). Every peso has a specific destination.
Miguel Angel + Leonel Sánchez contribute the $250k together. Enough for 12 months — from signing to first investment round or break-even.
Each phase has a clear owner. If someone falls behind, we know who and why. Weekly Monday 9am meetings to stay on course.
Public launch target: August 2026 · 2 sprints per month · ~640h from expanded dev team.
It's not one person doing everything. Each brings something the others don't have. If anyone's missing, the plan falls apart.
Balanced equity · each partner contributes what they do best and shares the outcome.
Invent gives up 20 points (30% instead of the typical 50% for a technical founder) to recognize that without Miguel Angel, Leonel and José there's no business.
All 3 documents signed in the same week before notary. Estimated legal investment: $2,500 USD (already in Ops budget).
This is the integrated plan you've seen in pieces throughout. Here it is all together, with dates, owners and deliverables.
It's 2026. We build it, or they keep doing it from Buenos Aires, Santiago and Shenzhen. The money comes back here, or it keeps leaving. It's a choice.
