Hi there! I'm Alejandro, founder of AnswerBite; helping event teams generate revenue by offering premium content at scale. In my previous MarTech company, I signed over 130 Fortune 500 clients across 4 continents. 


I love building communities such as the Techstars Alumni Group ($99 Billion in valuations) and the TopLatinxTechLeaders ($66 Billion in aggregate exits and $120 Billion to invest). My podcasts the CMO Spotlight, and Zero to Billions share best practices from Fortune 500 CMOs and the founders of billion-dollar companies.

I love working with and meeting people who are passionate, kind, sincere, curious and don’t take themselves too seriously.

About

YOUNG BROTHERS.JPG

How it all started

We are three American Latino tech founders based in San Francisco, New York City, and Miami backed by top Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley investors.

Our ongoing success is owed to our parents, a long list of mentors and by working together being each others' best friends, mentors and advisors. 

This latter strength has been critical to sharing relationships with over 5,000 top investors, industry leaders, and social leaders in the US. 

If you are an early minority tech founder, or a student thinking of your next professional move, we want to meet you and offer assistance through your journey.
