The Spanish-language interface, publicly launched at the end of February, is intended to help connect the Latin American community, according to founders Joshua Kushner ’08, Daniel E. Kafie ’05, and Harvard Business School student Mario T. Schlosser. Even though membership is currently by invitation only, Vostu.com has accrued over 600 members—mostly from Argentina, Peru, and Mexico?...
