Avinash Sukhwani — Co-Founder
I’m currently the co-founder of Payflow, where we're redefining how people get paid by moving beyond outdated monthly or biweekly pay cycles. Payflow is the first truly meaningful employee benefit for frontline and blue-collar workers, offering them real-time access to earned wages—at no cost to them, ever. We believe financial wellbeing should be a right, so we will never charge our users to access what is rightfully theirs. Our app helps companies reduce staff turnover by an average of 21%, saving millions of euros annually. We've grown to over 1,000 clients, 500,000+ users, and €8M+ in revenue across Spain, Portugal, Colombia, and Peru. And we’re just getting started. We operate with a Rule of 40 consistently above 40% and remain EBITDA-neutral. Beyond Payflow, my career has been shaped by a global and entrepreneurial journey: -BA from the University of Cambridge (graduated top #2 in class) -MA from MIT with a perfect GPA (5.0) -MSc from Imperial College London (sole full scholarship recipient) -3+ years at Boston Consulting Group (Madrid, Bogotá, and Miami offices) with two fast-track promotions -1+ year at Rocket Internet, Europe’s leading startup incubator -Y Combinator alumnus (S21 batch) -Forbes 30 Under 30 Spain (2023) and Europe (2024) I also support the startup ecosystem: -Pre-seed investor in 10+ start-ups -Official advisor to 10+ early-stage ventures -Entrepreneurship lecturer and/or mentor at IE, ISDI, UTAMED, Nova Talent, etc.
