We are the
founders of the
future
Where boldness and instinct meet. We like building long lasting relationships with the entrepreneurs we partner with. We are open-minded, new ideas are always welcome.
I’m a contrarian at heart. Taking the road less traveled and hard work can make all the difference. You cannot do what everybody does and expect different results. I studied and practiced law – becoming a partner at a law firm would have been the natural road to success. But it didn’t feel right, and I took a different path. I’m thankful for it every day. I’m a resolute optimist. Things can be better, and we can make them better. Whether we think we can or think we cannot, we’re both right. It is our choice whether to focus on how everything can go wrong or on how we can improve our situation. This is the essential entrepreneur super power.
I love underdogs. It is easy to root for the perennial champion running with the wind at their back. It takes sinew to carry on when you know that victory is not only difficult buy highly improbable. This must explain my love for the Cubs and Cruz Azul ;-)
There is no success without some degree of luck. But it is not the ‘I won the lottery!’ kind of luck. It is the ‘I prepared so hard for this opportunity that when it knocks on my door, I’ll be ready’ kind of luck that matters. The more you put in the effort and put yourself out there, the luckier you’ll be.
Teamwork is the key to great achievements. The myth of the lonesome genius coming up with the breakthrough idea is only a myth. Long lasting success can only be built when you are able to convince those better than you to join your cause. My greatest achievement is the family I’ve built, and it is because I was able to convince a much better person than I to be my wife.
I encourage you to drink deeply from good books for I know no wise people who aren’t readers. If you’d like to know more about me, I sometimes share my thoughts with the world.
I’m fortunate to be the son of loving parents: an entrepreneur Mother who waked every day at 5 AM & went to bed no earlier than 11 PM; A Mother that woke so early in part to prepare the sandwiches that I would later sell at the school bus, at what was my first of many entrepreneurial experiences. A Father who was a voracious reader & taught me the pleasure of continuously learning from all sorts of disciplines; a Father that also taught me, through helping him decide his weekly soccer bets, the value of making decisions with hard data
I’m fortunate to be the younger brother of my only Brother, to which I once told, being completely wasted: I love you because you’re the best brother I have. A Brother to whom I owe the most valuable advice I have & will ever receive, although not always accurate, because part of it included becoming a life-long suffering fan of the Dallas Cowboys
I’m fortunate to be the parent of three amazing kids, whom I love with all my heart, but whom have had to endure my ineptitude as a father, but that fortunately thru the wisdom of the women in their lives, are finding their pathways to happiness
I´m fortunate to be the husband of the most kind, courageous, intelligent, and beautiful woman on earth, whom has had the courage and kindness to see beyond my many limitations and has focused on the immense love I feel for her. By her hand, until the end of my life, we can, and we will, accomplish everything
I’m fortunate to have partnered with much more intelligent people that I am, starting with my fellow GP, that although has not understood that the best Avenger is Tony Stark, & not the boring Steve Rogers, has helped Wollef make the best possible decisions, avoiding all the idiocy I continuously bring to the table
I’m fortunate to love what I do: getting to know courageous entrepreneurs & be able to partner with them in their exciting journey of creating fantastic companies with meaningful purposes, enlightening cultures & relentless talent
I’m fortunate to have failed many, many, times, & thru those failures, learned & earned a life of happiness; & most important, a life with meaningful relationships.
We believe in building long lasting relationships with the entrepreneurs we partner with.
