Mack’s Venture Capital Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Angel Investor
As an angel investor in Latin America, I bring a unique blend of experiences that position me to support early-stage startups. Having transitioned from a career in professional sports to tech, I understand the challenges of navigating change and seizing new opportunities. My background in building businesses and content strategies across Latin America gives me a deep understanding of the region's unique market dynamics. I also run a blog, Venture Capital Mx, where I interview founders and investors in Mexico, which helps me stay connected to the ecosystem and share valuable insights. My network of mentors, founders, and industry experts allows me to connect entrepreneurs with the right resources. This combination of resilience, strategic insight, and a strong support network enables me to provide meaningful value to the startups I invest in.

Why do I coach?
For me, "coaching" has always been about empowering others to pursue their goals. Throughout my baseball career, from high school to professional baseball, I relied on a set of mentors during pivotal moments. These individuals are still close friends today and played a crucial role in empowering me to pursue my career after professional baseball.
