I run a venture studio that builds and sells consumer technology and CPG products.
Once a month I host events as the co-founder of AI Builders Mexico, the leading AI community in CDMX. We produce events with Cursor, Vercel, OpenAI, and Google Deepmind. See you at our next event.
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 lift heavy in the gym and am a tryhard in my Spanish classes.
I find happiness in playing sports, reading science fiction, eating spicy food, hanging out with my dog + friends, and playing/listening to music. I like to sing corridos tumbados. I consume content on Arxiv, NYT, Youtube, and X. I do the crossword (unsuccessfully) daily.
I recently enjoyed Sapiens, On the Edge by Nate Silver, the Dialectics Podcast, and the Almanack of Naval Ravikant.
I'm active on X where I not only shitpost but also share my learnings as a builder and test my worldview.
I ponder the singularity, geopolitics, dark factories, artificial embryos, and humanoids. I think a lot about agency, sovereignty, e/acc, and leverage.
I think abstractly, am good at de-coupling, and elect to play infinite games. In general the only zero-sum games I play are chess and poker. I sometimes trade.
I unsuccessfully attended school at Harvard and UC Berkeley - applied mathematics, probability theory, and data science.
I've lived in many places: Los Angeles, Shanghai, Oakland, Taipei, Colombia, and now Mexico City.
