As the CTO of Mountain Nazca, I have added new responsibilities over time. Starting with the Company Builder, where we bootstrap companies from scratch, managing external development teams or building MVP's for our own companies and even hiring key members. I keep a close relation with the CTO's and development teams, and try stay as close as I can for any technical or personal need they have. For the Venture Capital fund, due diligence, hiring and improving the tech teams flow and planning are the major requests I get from the companies we invested on. For Altered Ventures, I have helped during the setup of the fund as well as adding new games to the deal flow and review games from our pipeline.
