Lending millions to entrepreneurs taught me one thing: I was born to be one of them.

For over a decade, I thrived in the corporate finance world, lending $20 million, sometimes $30 million, to business owners.

I loved the hustle of the corporate ladder—big paychecks, promotions, and the feeling of constant growth.

But while I was climbing this invisible ladder, I started closely watching these entrepreneurs with awe.

They weren’t necessarily smarter than me—they were just bolder.

They took risks, created opportunities, and built legacies.

They shaped the lives of hundreds of employees while I stayed stuck in a cycle of paying taxes and working for someone else’s vision.

That’s when I made the leap.

My first entrepreneurial venture was a SaaS platform that connected beauticians with local buyers—an “Uber for beauty.”

But when COVID hit, I pivoted, transitioning it into a software development agency where we built platforms and marketplaces for other entrepreneurs.

During the software development journey, I learned one vital thing: marketing is everything.

So I dove deep into SEO, Google Ads, and Facebook Ads, but LinkedIn became my playground.

On LinkedIn, one organic post was generating three or four leads.

I turned my success on LinkedIn into a personal branding and lead-generation business.

The business exploded.

While it was exploding, I decided I wanted to travel and work from a remote paradise.

PS: I think I had just finished watching Heist, and I imagined an island like Panama.

Then Bali happened.

In Bali, from the moment I arrived, it was hard to ignore the potential in property development.

There was a housing crisis in Uluwatu.

The market was under-supplied.

I ran a few Airbnb rentals and made a killing.

I decided to invest the money I was making from my LinkedIn personal branding business and buy a 1,000-square-meter plot where I would go on to build five villas.

Within six weeks of launching the marketing campaign, I sold three of those villas off the plan.

Encouraged by that success, I expanded, acquiring an additional 1,300 square meters and partnering with a construction team to deliver seven more villas.

Today, I’m not just building properties—I’m building opportunities for others to create wealth and live life on their terms.

Whether it’s through property development, branding, or entrepreneurship, I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge and opportunities I’ve gained.

If you’re ready to take your next big leap, grow your wealth, or connect over bold ideas, let’s talk.

Visionary entrepreneur on a mission to bridge innovation ecosystems between Europe and the Americas | Building the next big thing in global collaboration | Co-Founder at Trashmutation | Latitud Fellow (LF3)

🌍 I help European startups expand into Latin America through high-trust connections, regional knowledge, and the right local partners.

As founder of BridgeLATAM, I’ve built a neutral platform designed to support VC-backed startups and scaleups exploring LATAM — through market access, strategic intros, pilot launches, and talent via trusted delivery partners.

My 15+ years of experience leading ventures across LATAM, the U.S. and Germany give me a unique perspective: I understand both sides — Europe’s innovation mindset and LATAM’s market dynamics.

🔗 Our network includes:
	•	Founders and operators with 15+ years of experience in their industries
	•	Superconnectors and ecosystem builders in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina & Chile (and other LATAM countries)
	•	Talent & GTM partners, including Soultech, where I serve as board advisor and investor

We don’t sell services — we enable expansion.

📍 Based in Berlin, operating globally. Let’s connect if:
	•	You want to explore LATAM and don’t know where to start
	•	You’re hiring and want top LATAM talent, remote or relocatable
	•	You’re a superconnector or founder looking to collaborate

✉️ Open to intros, collaboration and honest conversations

Ramiro Rodriguez Markowski

Yesterday I had the privilege of listening to Marc Bernath as the keynote speaker for the Fall 2025 Graduation of the Founder Institute, a community I’m proud to be part of.

What truly inspired me was not only what Marc has built, but how he thinks.

He speaks about connecting ecosystems and allies across worlds that usually don’t talk to each other — startups, corporates, cities, public institutions — all in service of something bigger than any single organization.
That mindset resonated deeply with me.

If we dare to dream bigger, why not scale what he helped create in Berlin?

Berlin — a city once divided by a wall — has transformed into a global epicenter of innovation, collaboration, and bold ideas. Marc’s work in transforming an airport into a living innovation ecosystem is a powerful reminder that systems can be redesigned, and cities can reinvent themselves.

And that leads me to my own dream with BridgeLATAM.

What if Berlin — and Germany more broadly — becomes not just a European innovation hub, but the bridge connecting Europe and Latin America?
What if we actively export Europe’s brilliant solutions — in mobility, energy, sustainability, and digital transformation — to a Latin American continent that urgently needs them?
And what if, in return, we unlock the talent, resilience, and creativity of LATAM for Europe?

I believe real change happens when we connect the right people, across borders, sectors, and cultures — and give builders the relationships, trust, and platforms they need to create impact.

Being an alumni of Founder Institute ( grateful for that Ferdinand Mühlhäuser 🇺🇦🌍 and all Founder Institute Berlin / Germany !) ñ, meeting Marc in person, and building from a city like Berlin — surrounded by brilliant, mission-driven people — reinforces my conviction that everything is connected, and that bridges matter more than walls.

Grateful for the inspiration, the learning, and the reminder to keep dreaming big — and then execute.
