I start companies and stay close to the product. The pattern has held for more than a decade: find a market that runs on paper and phone calls, write the software that makes it run on data, then build the company around it.
Nomos
2024 to today
Nomos reads the public rules that move Brazilian markets, from the official gazettes to the CVM, the Central Bank and Congress, and turns them into records a compliance team or another system can act on. Analysts and AI agents work on top of the same base. Banks, fintechs and regulated companies use it to know what changed before it reaches them.
I founded it at the end of 2024 together with Arko Advice, a political analysis house working since 1982, which invested in the company and opened its archive of research to the product. In 2026 Nomos joined the Google for Startups program.

Ingresse
2013, Manaus
Ingresse is a ticketing platform for events in Brazil, from club nights to festivals. I co-founded it with Gabriel Benarrós in Manaus in 2013 and ran the technology side: the apps, the payments and an open ticketing API that let producers sell through any channel they chose. By 2026 the platform had passed R$4.5 billion in gross ticket sales.

Chico
Chico is the AI agent I build and run for my own projects: the agent for solo entrepreneurs. It does the work a founder alone cannot staff, from research and drafts to code and the numbers, and it connects to my own accounts to do it, including my YouTube channels. It is not a product you can sign up for. What Chico is and what it touches.

Endeavor Entrepreneur and 500 Startups alumnus. I write about building with AI and about regulation as data on LinkedIn and X.
