I am a seed stage investor, design-thinker, product strategist, and storyteller.
I spend my days investing and building consumer technology companies for the sake of people, not for the sake of technology.
I spend my days investing and building consumer technology companies for the sake of people, not for the sake of technology.
Currently, I invest in early-stage startups at Level Ventures and am building Startupy.world, a community-curated network for startup knowledge.
My life’s work is committed to investing and helping founders build empathetic technology products that make human life better.
In my spare time, I write about humanizing tech, building the future, personal growth, and raising children. I also post a bunch of selfies and baby/toddler photos.
I was born and raised in Colombia, educated in Rhode Island, trained in NYC, and developing my life’s work in Miami.
Two years ago, I started organizing the things I read that resonated and the most interesting startups I came across in an Airtable database.
This ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve collected notes from over 2,000 content entries and tagged over 4,000 startups. I use this database almost every day to influence my writing, business decisions, and thinking.
