A brief History
Tim is a nomadic entrepreneur with an unhealthy obsession with surfing, web3, and whatever AI thing everyone's excited about this week. He co-founded Grindery, a Binance-backed web3 infrastructure startup, and occasionally makes questionable investment decisions in startups run by people as stubborn as he is.
Over two decades, he's founded, grown, exited, and spectacularly crashed multiple startups across the US, Latin America, and Europe. Some worked. Some didn't. All were educational. With InboundLabs, he built a fully remote agency that became one of the largest HubSpot partners globally. He also founded Tigabytes, the first Google Enterprise partner in Latam—back when that meant something.
Since 2017, he's been deep in web3, learning Solidity the hard way and building infrastructure that makes decentralized payments work for actual humans (and more recently, agents—because apparently we're doing that now).
Tim co-founded First Tuesday in the Americas, ran hundreds of startup events, and has served as Director at the Founder Institute. He's mentored early-stage founders through incubators, governments, and funds—mostly by sharing what not to do.
He and his wife have spent 15+ years living nomadically while homeschooling their two boys, bouncing between Punta de Lobos, the Bay Area, Innsbruck, Durban, Bali, and Las Palmas. As a lifelong surfer now obsessed with foiling, he schedules his work around wind, wave, and snow forecasts—which makes him reliably unreliable to reach.
