Ventures
Every project brings a lesson for the next
Founder's FAQs
A closer look at the why and how
What inspired you to start these ventures?
It’s always been about solving real problems. Growing up in Latin America, I saw how resourcefulness and resilience could make or break a project. That mindset stuck with me. Every venture I’ve started—whether in tech, AI, or beyond—has been driven by the same goal: finding better ways to do things and making a real impact.

How do you decide which ideas are worth pursuing?
It’s a mix of instinct and experience. After building eight companies (and seeing a few fail too), you start to recognise patterns. If an idea solves a real problem, excites me, and has room to scale, I’ll dive in. But more than anything, I’ve learned to trust my gut—it’s usually right.

What’s been the biggest challenge in building these ventures?
Adapting to uncertainty. Argentina taught me resilience the hard way, and that’s been invaluable. Whether it’s navigating economic instability or the constant ups and downs of running a business, you have to stay flexible and keep moving forward. It’s not always easy, but it’s where the growth happens.

How do your ventures create value for their users?
By solving real, everyday problems. With Visionator, for example, we’re helping businesses around the world get smarter with their tech. And with Helpix, the focus is on helping local businesses connect with their communities using AI. At the end of the day, if a venture doesn’t make life easier or create opportunities, I’m not interested in building it.
