An app that develop entrepreneurial skills for the development of knowledge, skills and capacities in vulnerable groups that are made up of women and youth; and with this support the development of their social and / or sustainable entrepreneurship so it becomes a means and /or tool to improve their environment. Support will be provided in training and courses, consulting and mentorship, catalog of entrepreneurs that integrate their history, images and employ altruism and finally ecommerce. At the same time that it develops collaboration between the participating entities, generating knowledge for its replication of the model generated with interaction with peers in USA, NGOs, government, academic and business entities to achieve the objectives.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) mentions that women entrepreneurs are making a difference by constituting a vitally important component in the economy of countries and a primary support for the growth of developing countries (Allen, et al, 2008). Despite this, Latin America has the highest rate of business failures managed by women. In addition to this, there is a gender gap in entrepreneurship in a country whose population is 51% female and in which there are 10% fewer entrepreneurships are by women compared to the proportion of entrepreneurs generated by men (Power & Magnoni, 2010) . Funders and Founders (2016) state that from 2013 to 2020 of 8,000 million people, only 3,000 will have a job. Currently 1 in 19 people is an entrepreneur and 57% of them are developed by young adults aged 18 to 34, that is, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2019/2020 the levels of initial stages of entrepreneurship increase with the young people and a decrease from 38 years of age, 55.6% being the result of taking advantage of opportunities and 25.2% due to necessity (Bloomberg, 2016).
The first group is going to be women entrepreneurs with exponential ideas that have kids with dissabilities
The lack of exposure can limit the development of entrepreneurship projects that are of vital importance at present to reduce the negative effects of the economic crisis caused by the pandemic. Due to this, the presented project focuses on the creation of a friendly, simple and highly accessible platform, which is considered to be of great help to achieve interaction between enterprises and combat this great difficulty. A platform will be very useful to achieve connection with the virtual world, this will enrich their projects by bringing professional experience, attitudes, capacities, tools and aptitudes to the participants and thus achieve with greater success the development of entrepreneurship projects among the community of sectors with higher vulnerability index made up of women and youth.

- A new application of an existing technology
The article "The New Science of Consumer Emotions" by Harvard Business Review states that feelings that drive customer behavior can be geared toward brand benefit through "emotional motivators," being an important new source for achieving business growth because they attract and retain consumers. They are emotionally connected to a brand when it helps them satisfy their desires that can mostly be unconscious.
Experts have recently shown that 95% of purchasing decisions are unconscious. This is assured by Dr. Gerald Zaltman, executive committee member of Harvard University's School of Behavior, Mind and Brain
EVA's approach to implementing emotional motivators as its main axis, exposing them mainly in its online channels, these being its main means of dissemination, promotion and sales, are:
1.- Tell a story
Telling a story generates ideas, thoughts, and emotions in the individual's brain.
2.- Employ altruism
Returning to society is one of the tools with the greatest potential to generate customer loyalty, increase brand awareness and positive reputation
3.- Get visual
Images are one of the tools that generate emotion responses quickly in individuals,
4. People prefer the simple
Psychologically, the human mind prefers simplicity over complexity
5.- Use the personal touch
There must be a customization focused on understanding the specific needs of the customer and thereby generating brand loyalty
6.- Sell profits, not features
Present the products and sell them for the benefits that will improve the life of the consumer and solve their problems
