i work on growth and ai at grupalia.
we’re building the neobank for microbusinesses.
founded by Roger Rea, YC founder, great person and mentor.
i’m in my last year of high school. i almost dropped out at least 4 or 5 times, but i held myself back. and yes, i still skip math class to go to the bathroom and take a meeting.
i started my first company at 15. an entrepreneur came to speak at my school. I walked up, told him what i was building. that same day, he hired me; he is still a consulting client today.
after that, i founded companies in legacy industries like insurance. i learned zero-to-one: product, first clients, sales, and customer discovery.
