Tapi · co-founder.
I can offer payment infrastructure expertise and LATAM fintech ecosystem navigation. Right now I'm looking for founders building financial rails for emerging markets.
tapi is actively building at the intersection of traditional banking and fintech in Mexico, one of LATAM's hottest markets for financial infrastructure innovation.
- Payment infrastructure design and fintech architecture
- LATAM financial ecosystem navigation (especially Mexico)
- Startup co-founding dynamics and CTO/CPO role evolution
- Endeavor entrepreneurship network and process insights
- Strategic consulting frameworks (Bain methodology exposure)
- Founders building payment or financial infrastructure in LATAM
- Technical co-founders navigating the CTO journey
- Teams looking to connect physical and digital financial ecosystems
