About

I am a financial management professor, researcher, and entrepreneur from Colombia with over 15 years of experience in investment analysis, sustainable finance, and startup acceleration.
I currently lead initiatives that connect education, entrepreneurship, and technology — including Brinko.io, a freemium platform that helps cooperative and social-enterprise projects strengthen their management and access professional tools.
My work focuses on building bridges between academia, financial innovation, and the third sector across Latin America.

Mentorship motivation

  • I am looking for new investments
  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent
  • I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat

I believe mentoring is the most direct way to transform technical knowledge into social impact.
Through VC4A, I want to support early-stage entrepreneurs, cooperatives, and impact startups in improving their financial models, measuring progress, and becoming investment-ready — especially those operating in the social and solidarity economy (ESALES).
My goal is to empower founders to translate their purpose into viable, sustainable, and scalable business strategies.
