Partner
Prior to joining Kayyak Ventures I spent the last decade as an entrepreneur building Miroculus (now part of Integra Biosciences) first in LatAm and then in Silicon Valley. I had the chance to experience first-hand what it takes to build a business and the intricacies of operating and scaling a deep tech company from day 0 all the way through an exit.
In parallel, as an Angel investor, I have been fortunate enough to partner with several outstanding entrepreneurs. Having been in their shoes makes it easier to understand the growing pains and share experiences that can offer a different point of view when being faced with a challenge. I’ve witnessed that starting a business doesn’t have to be a lonely path and those who partner correctly will very likely increase their chances of success.
Throughout my career, I've held a steadfast belief that the primary drivers for joining an organization should always be rooted around people and purpose, listed as reasons number #1 and #2.
At Kayyak Ventures I found the best examples for each of these. A team of outstanding individuals with a purpose that deeply resonates with my heart: To invest in and support Latin founders who are spearheading innovative ventures with the potential to enhance the quality of life for millions in LATAM and beyond.
Alejandro is based out of Santiago, Chile.
