  • Women Entrepreneurs: Evidence, Systems, and Impact — Felicia Siegrist
    Jan 13 2026
    What does it actually take to move the needle for women entrepreneurs—at scale and with measurable impact?

    In this episode of Proyecto Co, Ana Amrein Esnaola (Efecto Colibrí) speaks with Felicia Siegrist, Research & Knowledge at We-Fi (World Bank), about how evidence can guide better programs, smarter financing, and stronger ecosystems for women-led businesses.

    We talk about what “what works” really means, the risks of one-size-fits-all interventions, how to think about outcomes and measurement, and how research can translate into decisions that improve real lives. Felicia also brings an entrepreneur’s lens as Co-Founder of Kusuka, a women-led business supporting women artisans and sustainable consumption.

  • From Old Narratives to New Myths
    Dec 28 2025
    We close 2025 with gratitude: it’s time for a reset.

    In this special message from Ana Amrein Esnaola, founder and director of Efecto Colibrí, we celebrate the power of stories as an evolutionary and transformative force.

    We are living through a moment that calls on us to rewrite old myths. Because stories shorten distances, weave bonds, nourish interdependent relationships, and sustain communities capable of living in solidarity. That’s why it’s essential to keep creating new stories—stories that rekindle our sense of possibility and shape a new collective dream.

    Thank you for being part of the change. We wish you a year-end filled with care, love, and creativity.
    Happy holidays!

  • De los viejos relatos a los nuevos mitos
    Dec 28 2025
    Cerramos 2025 con gratitud: es tiempo de reinicio. En este mensaje especial de Ana Amrein Esnaola, fundadora y directora de Efecto Colibrí, celebramos el poder de las historias como fuerza evolutiva y transformadora.

    Vivimos un momento que nos exige re-escribir los viejos mitos. Porque las historias acortan distancias, tejen vínculos, nutren relaciones interdependientes y sostienen comunidades capaces de vivir en solidaridad.

    Por eso, es clave seguir creando nuevas historias que vuelvan a ilusionarnos y den forma a un nuevo sueño colectivo.

    Gracias por ser parte del cambio. Te deseamos un cierre de año lleno de cuidado, amor y creatividad.
    ¡Felices fiestas!

  • Refugee is a label, not my name | Dear Friend, We Listen
    Nov 11 2025
    In this episode, Ana Amrein Esnaola opens the mic to Espoir Kahitani, a young poet born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and raised in the Dzaleka refugee camp (Malawi). “Refugee is a label, not my name,” he says, as he revisits a childhood of charcoal stoves and night songs, the attack that changed everything, and the discovery of poetry as a practice of hope. Listening is social innovation: it illuminates what must be transformed and shifts narratives toward a just, diverse, regenerative reality.

    What to expect:
    01:10 – “Refugee is a label, not my name”
    04:50 – Childhood: smoke, drums, and silences
    06:30 – The night it changed + flight to Dzaleka
    12:10 – English, The Branches, and finding his voice
    19:40 – Weariness, faith, and hope in action

    In this Project Co episode, Ana Amrein Esnaola speaks with María Tapia, co-managing partner at Earth Star Investments, a fund backing climate deeptech in Europe through a diversity-first lens. We unpack why DEI isn’t optics: it’s a performance edge that improves diligence, products, and market adoption. From next-gen proteins (fermentation & cultivated) to bio-based materials without microplastics and laser+AI for lower-impact mining, María shares where she sees real traction and how to invest with speed and rigor. You’ll learn
    • How to read diversity at the founding-team level
    • Where opportunities are in foodtech & new materials
    • Why slow, legacy models underperform the climate timeline
