Hi there, this is Santiago (or Santi, as friends call me).

I start, build, and invest in startups. I help others in that process as well.

I am the co-founder and former CEO of Bunny Studio (2012-2023). Before that, I started and ran two ed tech companies, Talent Surfers (2011 - 2012) and Smart Learning (2009 - 2014) —no longer in business. I was also on the board of Voice123 (2019-2021), acquired by Backstage (2021). In 2022, I co-founded Paramo Partners to do seed investments in Latin America.

By mid-2023, after 16 years of building, I took 10 months off to work on myself, explore passions, and find purpose.

Most recently:

In 2024, through Paramo Partners, I set up an investment vehicle to do deal-by-deal secondary syndicates focused on the Latam region.

Early in 2025, I decided to return to running a business. I partnered with some friends and started exploring problems. Currently doing customer discovery 🙂. Day 1.
