Vaca Valet: empowering small businesses and building stronger communities

A Vision for Change

At Vaca Valet, we’re driven by a bold vision: to create a revolutionary platform that provides affordable marketing tools for small business owners. Our mission is to help these businesses thrive in their local communities, with a focus on sustainability, community outreach, and supporting nonprofits that make a difference.

The mission behind Vaca Valet is deeply personal to me. Over the past 12 years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding the challenges small businesses face and finding ways to make a lasting impact on this planet.

My journey took a pivotal turn when I visited the Bahamas three years ago. After witnessing the devastation of a catastrophic storm, I saw firsthand the resilience and power of community. Families and individuals came together to rebuild, reminding me of what truly matters—relationships, connection, and shared purpose.

The Heart of Vaca Valet

I believe small businesses are the heart of every community. In places like Summit County, Colorado, where I’m based, these businesses play a unique role. Beyond their products and services, they contribute to the sustainability and resilience of their communities.

At Vaca Valet, we’ve designed our platform to help small businesses:

  • Measure and showcase their efforts in sustainability.
  • Build a stronger online presence.
  • Connect with their local communities.

Building a Better Tomorrow

True success isn’t about material wealth—it’s about the relationships we build and the impact we have on others. My experiences living on a small island taught me that happiness comes from connection and shared experiences.

Through Vaca Valet, we aim to empower small businesses to grow while making a meaningful difference in their communities. Together, we can create a ripple effect that strengthens neighborhoods, inspires others, and builds sustainable futures.
