Our Story

A mission to create jobs.
A partner to help you grow.

In 2021, we packed up our lives in San Diego and moved to Quito, Ecuador. We didn't fully understand why we felt so strongly about making the move, but it quickly became clear. We were here to create jobs.

We met countless talented English-speaking Ecuadorians who were educated, motivated, and simply underemployed or unemployed. That's when we launched ZConnect.

ZConnect is a company dedicated to helping U.S. businesses hire skilled, remote team members from Latin America — building high-performing teams without the overhead of traditional hiring.

But our mission doesn't stop there. We also run a nonprofit foundation, Kovê International, where we organize large-scale service projects (Next Trip June 2026 — you're invited) and support a Good Samaritan Fund that helps individuals transition from life on the streets to stability and hope.

After nearly four years of living in Quito — with regular travel back to the U.S. to meet with clients and see our family — we had a new thought: Why not help missionary families send packages back and forth more easily? Click here to send a package.

And if you've always wanted a farm but someone else to run it, our dragon fruit farm is always looking for investors to join us in providing consistent jobs in the Amazon region.
