Investor Stage

Seed

In 1991 founded JVI, firm that has enabled me to developed projects for more than 20 companies in the software industry in Uruguay. During this period, up to 2010, I also worked as Sales Rep. and Head of Market Development in leading companies such as INCO; MontevideoCom, Artech; GeoCom; IPCom; DeLarrobla and Assoc, along Latin and North America.

This experience in the computing sector led me, since 2012, to get involve with the world of technology-based start ups, focusing on promoting projects related with high complexity algorithms, data processing, e-commerce, social media and entertainment.

As angel investor I've specialized in mentoring, evaluating, selecting, and investing in new startups.

As an active early stage investor, I'm involved in several national projects with seed capital, giving youth projects a set of fundamental "smart resources" to turn them into sustainable companies with an attractive rate of growth, scalability and profitability.

For this purpose, I work with the latest methodologies for developing new businesses such as: Lean Start Up, Customer Development, Business Model Generation.

Additionally, I'm member of the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technology (CUTI), board member of SoftwareUY (group of software companies), jury and tutor on several start ups evaluation committees in Uruguay (Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre – University ORT Uruguay, and CUTI). Recently I've become member of Angel Club Uruguay (Gust), and investor in 500 StartUp.
