Despite the current economic hardships that are happening in Puerto Rico, entrepreneurs are betting on success with their startups. Ranging in services from health care and beauty to e-commerce and other sectors, customers have many options from which to choose.

Burea

Burea is an app that allows people to look for products in a variety of stores such as supermarkets and pharmacies and then receive discounts. The way it works is that once customers use the discounts, and they appear on the purchase receipt, they then take a photo, and the app processes the money saved, which is then deposited into the user’s account. This free cash-saving tool is available both on iPhone and Android smartphones.
