Founders

Ruben GuerreroFounder
I started my career at Goldman Sachs but discovered by passion for building product at E*Trade Financial, where I built products for retail investors. My first experience in Latin America was when I moved to Brazil to lead the Latam expansion for Orc (Itiviti), a fintech providing trading technology to market markers and high frequency traders. I stayed in Latam to lead the regional expansion for Centrify. I returned to Brazil because this is where I thrive.

Tyler RichieFounder
Dropped out of computer science MS to move to Brazil and be the first data scientist at Nubank. Went from 30 employees to 1500 and 250 customers to 1.5 million. Left for a couple years to work as a tech lead for a blockchain startup in Singapore. Left after a couple of years to pursue my obsession with markets, which ultimately led me back to Brazil, meeting my cofounder Ruben, and reuniting with my former Nubank colleagues to provide access to the US markets to all Brazilians.
