Andres Santos
Andres Santos is the co-founder and CEO of Comun, a Spanish-first digital bank built for Latino immigrants in the United States. A Mexican-born MIT Sloan MBA who once struggled to open a US bank account himself, Santos turned that friction into a fast-growing neobank that accepts more than 100 Latin American IDs, requires no Social Security Number, and sends remittances across Latin America. After a $4.5M seed round in late 2023, Comun raised a $21.5M Series A led by Redpoint Ventures in August 2024 - just months later - on the back of 52% month-over-month customer growth.
Fabrice Grinda
Fabrice Grinda is a French-born serial entrepreneur, prolific angel investor, and co-founder of FJ Labs - the venture fund Forbes named home to the #1 Angel Investor in the world. With 1,100+ startup investments, 300+ exits, and a ~39% realized IRR built over 25 years, Grinda has backed household names including Alibaba, Airbnb, Uber, Coupang, and Vinted - often before anyone else saw the potential. He built and sold Zingy for $80M after sleeping in his office on $2/day, scaled OLX into the world's largest free classifieds platform across 90+ countries, and in 2024 co-founded Midas, a tokenization platform that hit $1.4B TVL within a year. Off the clock, he walks to the South Pole, kite-surfs, heli-skis, and throws week-long birthday parties with themed nights for 100+ friends.
