The Opportunity

Problem

Mexican small businesses risk missing out on up to 10 billion pesos in World Cup revenue because they lack the marketing and operational readiness to capture 'maximum proximity' spending from fans and visitors.

Solution

SurgeVecino predicts fan traffic to your specific street corner using match schedules and proximity data. It automatically creates inventory orders, staff schedules, and operational checklists so your taco stand or corner shop never runs out of ingredients or gets overwhelmed during big matches.

Target Audience

Owners of small proximity businesses in Mexico (taco stands, fondas, corner shops, and independent restaurants)

Differentiator

Location-specific surge forecasting engine built from past Mexican sporting event data, delivering actionable operational playbooks instead of generic inventory software.
