Jorge Lam ‘27 is a Marketing and Theology major from Caracas, Venezuela. He and his co-founder created dromOS after noticing the difficulties of forming good habits. He and a group of friends first tested out a small 30-day challenge that made growth feel like a game, and it worked so well that it became the foundation for dromOS. His work on the project led him to the Creators Ventures Accelerator, a competitive 10-week program in Dubai, where he now receives mentorship, refines his model, and prepares to pitch on a global stage. Jorge says his time at Catholic University, especially classes that framed entrepreneurship as a way to use one’s gifts for good, helped prepare him for this path. He encourages other students to start small, pay attention to the ideas God places on their hearts, and focus on solving real problems with their talents.
Can you briefly describe what dromOS does?
dromOS is like the Pokémon Go of self-improvement—a real-life game where you build habits, virtues, and discipline through fun, competitive challenges led by your favorite content creators.
How did you create dromOS, and what inspired you?
We wanted to find a way to help young men break addictions and vices while building solid habits and virtues. Most people consume motivational content online—it inspires them for a moment, but nothing really changes because they never put it into action. So we asked ourselves: How can we make growing in character as addictive as playing Clash Royale? That question led us to create dromOS. We started with a small 30-day experiment with ten friends—a simple self-improvement “game” we designed for ourselves. And it worked. I even caught myself doing workouts—which is hard for me—just because I wanted to win the challenge.
What is the Creators Ventures Accelerator program, and how did you get involved?
The Creators Ventures Accelerator is a 10-week hybrid program designed to help creators turn their ideas, audience, and influence into real, scalable businesses. It’s run by Creators HQ in partnership with 500 Global (one of the top startup accelerators and VCs in the world), and it gives you mentorship, a structured curriculum, and the chance to pitch at the 1 Billion Followers Summit in Dubai. I got involved by applying with my project, dromOS, because my co-founder is a content creator on IG @angel.santanaro, and the mission of our product fits perfectly with their mission of helping startups that influence the content creator economy. After submitting our application, we were selected to join the cohort (out of 1,100+ applications from 70 different countries), and I am now going through the program, refining our business model, receiving mentorship from top operators and investors, and preparing to pitch on a global stage.
How has your experience at Catholic University helped prepare you for opportunities like this?
In my ENT 118 class, I learned to see entrepreneurship not just as business creation, but as a form of co-creation with God—using our creativity, gifts, and talents to serve others. That perspective completely changed the way I approach building things. I realized that entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting a company; it’s one of the most powerful ways to lift yourself up while also lifting up your community. That mindset helped me step confidently into programs like this one, knowing that building solutions for others is part of my vocation.
What advice would you give to other students interested in startups?
My biggest advice is to pay attention to the tugs God places on your heart. He’s given you a unique set of gifts and talents, but He also places certain problems in front of you that resonate more deeply than others. Those are not accidents. Many times, that’s how God speaks and guides your mission. Focus on those problems that pull you. Start small, test ideas, and try different ways to solve them. Most of your experiments won’t work—but that’s exactly the process that helps you discover the one solution that truly makes a difference in people’s lives. If you let those inner tugs guide your work, you’ll build something meaningful, and you’ll grow in the process.
