Maximiliano Torres's Linkedin Analytics

Webpage: www.taco3ventures.xyz . I started my career in FP&A, working at various tech companies in Silicon Valley for eight years. In 2018, feeling the need to discover my passion, I sold everything, packed a bag, and bought a one-way ticket to travel the world. Eventually, I ended up in Lebanon, where I observed that the political and financial systems were unfavorable to people – a reality evident every day. This experience inspired me to focus on technology capable of enabling a more fair, inclusive, borderless and anti-corrupt system. To me, decentralized blockchains and related networks represent the fundamental infrastructure to achieve this goal. After leading finance at Aleph Zero and transitioning to an advisory role, I ventured into creating a savings and lending protocol. Though it didn't pan out as hoped, this experience opened doors at 0x Labs, where I oversaw finance and was instrumental in securing $85 million in funding across two series. Since leaving 0x in April 2022, I've been actively supporting web3 projects like Aleph Zero, AngelBlock, and others, not only with financial guidance but also by connecting them with key investors and partners. My goal is to serve as a bridge connecting capital to promising web3 founders in LATAM, supporting the creation of disruptive and sustainable products.
