📜 Royal Proclamation
HEAR YE, HEAR YE! Let it be known throughout all the kingdoms of the LatAm tech realm — from the verdant swamps of Buenos Aires to the gleaming towers of San Francisco — that Nicolas "Nico" Parziale hath founded three companies, shipped actual products that actual humans use, and survived to tell the tale. This scroll is that tale.
The Hero's Chronicle
✦ ✦ ✦
Once upon a time, in the entrepreneurial wilderness of Buenos Aires, Argentina, there emerged a builder of software and slayer of unsolved problems. Armed with a laptop, an engineering mind, and the unshakeable belief that technology should make life genuinely better, Nico set forth on a journey that would span a decade, two continents, and three founding adventures.
Fluent in both English and Spanish — two tongues that have served him across startup ecosystems in Latin America and North America alike — Nico is a serial founder in the truest sense: he doesn't just build products, he builds companies. From food-tech to entertainment platforms to deep-tech AI, each quest has been more ambitious than the last.

The Three Great Quests

Intuitivo
Founder · Aug 2019 – Dec 2025 · Buenos Aires, Argentina
Behold the crown jewel of the saga! Nico conjured an AI Operating System for unattended retail — a feat of computer vision wizardry allowing shoppers to grab what they need and walk away with nary a barcode scan nor a checkout line in sight. No scanning. No waiting. No friction. Just the future of commerce, made tangible through deep tech magic. Bringing digital touchpoints into the physical realm, one autonomous point of sale at a time.

Before the three great quests, young Nico honed his craft: co-founding Newen Games (social casino games with cross-device real-time multiplayer, 2012–2013) and wielding CoffeeScript, Ruby, and MongoDB as a Front-end Developer at Fan Guru (2013). Every legendary founder starts somewhere.
