I was just about to go into medical school after a hackathon blew me away and changed my entire perspective on what's possible. I've always built projects/clubs around tackling isolation but with startups I could do that in a scale I never imagined
@between_team Your journey is inspiring. Continue transforming lives!
Decided straight after watching ‘the social network’ movie 😂

Hyperinflation eating my family's savings in Venezuela. Got inspired by decentralized blockchain technologies and here we are. Sometimes I ask myself, what the hell am I doing lol.

@val_jones That's pretty cool! From textbooks to tech breakthroughs! =)
Well, I'm glad you asked! It all started when I realized that my bank account was looking as empty as my fridge after a late night snacking session...

Can't imagine doing anything else with my life. It look me a long time to realise I identify as a creator and need to build a life around creating.

I started BeAHero after using a few different productivity platforms. I saw an opportunity to use supporters with reward-driven motivation to provide accountability, something no one else provides right now. Accountability has changed my life, and I only want to help as many people as possible become their best selves.
