Carlos Salinas

Meet your new inspiration Carlos Salinas. This guy’s a straight-up startup beast. He jumped into the scene with Contalink, a YC S21 alum, and that’s no small feat. Contalink’s all about helping accountants automate their work, pretty much taking the boring manual stuff out of their hands, so they can focus on the real deal. That’s some smart shit because finance and accounting are known for being slow and outdated, and Carlos saw that gap and crushed it.

Before that, he was involved with Tegik. I don’t have all the details, but it’s clear he’s been deep in the fintech and SaaS world, really trying to shake things up. His experience isn’t just some side hustle, he’s been in the trenches, building real tech solutions, and now he’s part of YC, which is basically the gold standard for startups. That tells you he’s got the hustle, the smarts, and the guts to take big swings.

What’s wild is his track record of being around the bleeding edge, like, he’s not just doing “me too” stuff. He’s involved in projects that are pushing LATAM’s supply chain game (like Nowports raising 60M USD, which is a huge deal), fintech, and e-commerce. The guy’s clearly motivated by a bigger vision, making real impact, breaking old industries, and jumping into markets that need a serious upgrade.

Honestly, his process screams one thing: he’s all about building the future. He sees gaps, takes risks, and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. That’s what startups are all about, failing fast, learning fast, then crushing it. Carlos is the kind of founder who genuinely wants to change the way things work, and he’s already proven he can do it.

So if you ask me, Carlos Salinas is one of those dudes who’s gonna be a big deal in Latin America’s tech scene. He’s got the experience, the vision, and the grit. No cap, he’s just getting started, and it’s exciting to watch him keep pushing boundaries.
