You can only go far on the Shoulders of Giants.

There comes a moment in every entrepreneur's life when the lonely path meets the validation of those who have already conquered the world. That moment arrived for us when we received two emails that would change everything.

There's an old proverb that says, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." We asked ourselves: What happens when you are accompanied by giants like Meta, Amazon, and Techstars? The answer is simple: you not only go far, you redefine the destination. The journey of a startup is full of challenges and learning. From day one, our mission has been clear: to create a conscious investment fund that uses the power of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and human experience to transform the financial landscape in LATAM (Latin America) and contribute to a new era of prosperity.

We knew our vision was bold. But it's one thing to believe in your project and quite another for the leaders defining the future of technology and business to believe in it with you.

The Impact of AI on the National Stage: Our Vision with Meta in the Senate

Recently, we had the immense honor of being invited by Meta to the Senate of the Republic. The objective: to present Paradox Ventures® as a success story of the positive impact of Artificial Intelligence. It wasn't an academic talk about "the potential of AI." It was about showing, with hard data, how an algorithm trained in Mexico generated a +1,759% return in less than a year, turning $150,000 pesos into 2.8 millio.

We didn't just talk about algorithms and financial returns. We talked about how AI can be the greatest wealth redistribution opportunity we have seen in generations. A driver for development, transparency, and the creation of a "new Mexico". This invitation was not just a recognition of our technology, but a validation of our central thesis: the investment of the future must be intelligent, ethical, and have a transformative purpose. Being at the heart of the country's decision-making, alongside a giant like Meta, reinforces our commitment to be more than a fund; we are a movement.

🚀 Amazon & Techstars: The Bootcamp that Separates Dreamers from Builders

At the same time, the momentum continued.

While many funds looked at us with suspicion ("A mere lawyer doing FinTech with AI?"), Amazon Startups and Techstars selected us from thousands of projects for their Impact Bootcamp Program. During two intense days, they not only prepared us to scale but also immersed us in a culture of global excellence.

Guided by world-class mentors, we refined our product-market fit, strengthened our growth strategy, and prepared to answer the toughest questions from the most demanding investors. This program was an accelerated master's degree in how to build a future-proof business, with a winning mindset and the ability to scale sustainably. We left with the certainty that we not only have a revolutionary product but also the structure and knowledge to take it to the next level.

🤝 Why the Giants Are Betting on Us

Meta, Amazon, Techstars. Three of the most disruptive companies on the planet. Why would they bet on a Mexican fund led by a simple lawyer?

Maybe because they see what others don't:

1. Perfect Timing

Latam is at an inflection point; 662 million people have limited access to sophisticated investments. A massive, underserved market.

While traditional funds continue to fight for the same institutional clients, we are building infrastructure for the 99% who were left out.

2. Proven Technology 

We don't have a pretty pitch; we have verifiable results:

• 144 operations generated

  
  

• $2.6 million generated in profits

  
  

• More than 5,000 people on our waiting list

  
  

• A second fund that is completely public and auditable

We don't ask you to believe us; we show the proof (more information here).

3. Community Growth 

Most funds see their investors as bags of money, simple numbers that generate profits for them. We see the 5,000+ people who support us as builders of the future. People who have dreams we want to make a reality.

The giants don't need us. Meta, Amazon, and Techstars have already conquered their markets.

Jeff Bezos was not the obvious candidate to revolutionize retail. He was a financier who wanted to sell books online when "nobody bought online."

Zuckerberg was not the obvious candidate to connect the world. He was a college student with a social network for students when "MySpace already dominated."

We are not the obvious candidates to democratize investment in LATAM. I am a simple lawyer obsessed with technology, with a multidisciplinary team that believes wealth should be redistributed, not concentrated.

And that, precisely, is what makes us dangerous to the status quo and attractive to the giants.

🚀 The Next Chapter

We can grow fast, or we can grow right. Most choose speed; we choose to do it right.

We are not going to sell our soul for a check. We are going to change the future of Latam, and we are going to do it with you, together.

The future of investment will not be built alone. It will be built in community, powered by technology, and validated by those who are already building tomorrow.

Imagine where we will go... together.

Be part of the next evolution in investments.
