Born and built in Buenos Aires, Nico has spent over a decade founding companies from the heart of the Latin American tech ecosystem — carrying that perspective through San Francisco, Mexico City, and Puerto Rico, then home again. He studied Informática at Colegio Bertrand Russell, and has been shipping software, in Spanish and English, ever since. LatAm roots are a feature, not a footnote.
If the model detected something you'd like to build, fund, or talk about — autonomous retail, computer vision, or the next zero-to-one — the channel is open.
