Maria Luna is the co-founder of the Bravo Pay app, which assists people in paying service providers with their smartphones. Bravo app contains a GPS feature that shows the list of providers who are near you. Both the user and the service providers must have to install the app for the transaction to complete. The service providers give out their banking details to the app for them to pay or receive payments. The biggest advantage is that the app does not request any personal information.
Maria Luna grew up in Puerto Rico, as the youngest girl among her siblings. At the age of five, Luna started realizing how poor they were. She decided to go and talk to her teacher about the struggle they were going through. The teacher’s advice really changed her life. From that moment, Luna changed the way she lived and knew that hard work was an escape from poverty.
Luna is now a successful entrepreneur with an experience of over 22 years in marketing and consumers administration. She also has several leadership roles in the international markets in the US and Central to South America. The femaletrepreneur has a strong belief in constructing truly functional groups and organic growth.
My husband and I launched the first solution of Bravo to the market in 2015. Currently, many service professionals, small businesses, artists, and freelancers use the app to get paid or pay for services easily. The company has offered job opportunities for many people, and we treat every employee as a family member. Bravo Pay assists service professionals and creators in doing what they love to earn a living.
Bravo Pay Success
The company has processed over $1 million since it started. The person making payments pays a processing fee of 2%. The company also charges an extra 25% of service providers using the app in Arizona.
I am happy to be a part of Bravo because of its easy payment solutions, making the economy a more comprehensive place for everyone. Now, Bravo is globally expanding by adding a blockchain technology that will increase the speed of transactions on the network and reduce the transaction cost for users. Also, in the near future, the Bravo app will be accepting payments from cryptocurrency through a Bravo token that will be used to power the platform.
I was the first member of my family to go to college and overcome poverty. My focus in business was for a higher purpose that is beyond making a profit. I always encourage mutual respect and open discussion of ideas. I actively volunteered to help women and minor entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. To add to that, I contribute a lot to Arizona’s startup ecosystem. Also, I always avail myself to help students and young entrepreneurs who want to explore the entrepreneurship world.
Advice To Younger Entrepreneurs
To young entrepreneurs, one should work hard to be empowered financially and achieve their dreams. You should learn from mistakes and ensure that your own ideas come to life. Coming from a humble background has nothing to do with the life you will leave in the future.
Currently, Bravo is still running in a good condition. Now one can access the app in Google Play or Apple App Store. Feel free to download and test it. The app allows you to link your bank account within seconds and start making secure, private, and instant payments directly to other users or any nearby person who is using your phone’s geolocation. I guess it’s more secure than PayPal or Venmo.
