I run a venture studio that builds and sells consumer technology and CPG products.

Once a month I host events via AI Builders Mexico, the leading tech community in Mexico. I created Mexico's first AI Residency and host companies such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Vercel. See you at our next event.

(note: AIBM is a not-for-profit initiative - we are not hiring nor fundraising).

I occasionally advise and angel invest in early stage startups. Reach out if this interests you.

Previously, I worked on an incentives marketplace with more than $10M TPV and ~100k MAU. Before that I was the founding engineer and technical lead of a media production startup that helped storytellers build digital experiences.

In a former life you'd know me as the co-owner of a recording studio, head of bd for a merch+brand production facility, talent manager for artists, and board member of Scraper Bikes - all in Oakland, CA.

In an even older life you'd know me as the founder of the Meiflower Foundation, a non-profit I started when I was 17. We worked in Ningxia, China in 2013-2015 to distribute educational scholarships and microfinance loans. We also financed computer labs, drinking wells, and medical clinics. I learned and failed a lot.

I spend my time learning Spanish, playing padel, singing corridos tumbados (mostly Junior H), and doing the NYT crossword daily (unsuccessfully).

I recently enjoyed Sapiens, On the Edge by Nate Silver, the Dialectics Podcast, and the Almanack of Naval Ravikant. But I tend to really only read things published today or 50+ years ago.

I'm active on X where I not only shitpost but also share and test my worldview.

I think a lot about agency, sovereignty, e/acc, capital and leverage.

My favorite framework is tit-for-tat + forgive, and positive sum games.

I generally dislike 0 sum games and their players. The only zero-sum games I play are chess and poker. I sometimes trade.

I failed at school at Harvard and UC Berkeley - but I took some classes in applied math, probability theory, and data science.

I've lived in a few places: LA, Shanghai, Oakland, Taipei, Colombia, and now Mexico City.

The one thing I can't stop thinking about is infinite compute, and by proxy infinite energy.
