About

Founder building in public from Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 Started as a guitarist, discovered web design at 19, been building digital products for 10 years. Failed my first business at 21. Started again. And again. Currently running Jams (product design & dev agency), helping non-tech founders shape, launch and scale products. Sharing the whole journey, wins and failures included. When I'm not building: rock climbing, training, and devouring books and podcasts. Inspired by founders like Derek Sivers, Naval, Steve Jobs, Andrew Wilkinson, Sam Parr, Nathan Barry, Chris Do, Jason Fried and Jonathan Courtney. I also write The Co-founder Memo every Sunday: 5 minutes of unfiltered insights from actually building stuff. No guru BS, just what's working and what isn't for us, as we grow our business. Betting big on no-code, authenticity over authority, and the idea that small teams can build incredible things leveraging on AI. Always learning. Always building. Sometimes failing. 📩 Newsletter below 👇
