I started my first business at 8, selling Dragon Ball Z cards at school. By 11, I was selling stuff online with referral commissions. At 13, I created an “essential” clothing brand (plain T-shirts) because I wanted to dress with plain t-shirts every day. At 14, I began investing in stocks for fun.
Self-taught coder since 15. I learned to code to launch an app for restaurant reservations, my first “startup”. I worked on a robotic arm project coded in C++ at a baking systems company that summer. By 16, I was freelancing as a programmer, working with a hotel and an NGO. At 17, I had my first formal programming job at a software factory with my co-founder.
In 2023, my co-founder and I went to university for Computer Science but dropped out to focus full-time on building our AI-powered product search engine.
In 2024, at 18, we raised angel and VC capital to scale Sirvana. Got some extraordinary investors on board and teamed up with some of the most intelligent people I could ever imagine (I guess I am the youngest Argentinian who’s ever raised venture capital for a startup. Maybe).
Now, I’m all-in-building Sirvana, a conversational product search engine that uses natural language predictive text to search through products from all online stores. We made a prototype, and even though it’s pretty basic, it’s being used by over 130,000 friends and users, spreading through word of mouth. Sirvana provides access to the world’s products in one click.
