Skyler Aspegren

Yo, you gotta hear about Skyler Aspegren. This guy’s a straight-up legend in the startup game. Born in Chicago but grew up all over, 16 years bouncing between the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. That’s probably why he’s got that global hustle vibe, right? Now he’s living in SF, but don’t sleep, this dude’s been crushing it in the tech and finance worlds.

He jumped into the scene with some serious creds. Before jumping into startups, he was in Planned Finance at Uber and Kimberly-Clark. That’s big league, working at companies that move millions. But he’s not the kinda guy to sit still. He’s all about building his own shit. So, he founded Apollo, a YC-backed fintech startup in Summer 2021. Think of it like a debit card that rewards you with fractional stock shares, super clever. Apollo was the real deal, got into YC’s batch, but these days it’s inactive. Still, that move shows he’s not afraid to jump into the deep end.

Then, he went all-in on real estate tech with Deco Base, where he’s the CEO now. The dude’s got a knack for spotting problems and turning them into startups. Deco Base is about transforming real estate with tech, no bullshit, just making things better, faster, smarter. That’s his thing: taking complex industries and using tech to shake ’em up.

What’s dope is, all this stuff isn’t just about making money. It’s about solving real problems. His background in finance, real estate, and consumer fintech shows he’s got a mind for how things work under the hood. And his process? It’s all about pushing boundaries. Dude’s been across continents, seen different markets, and now he’s building tools that could change how we buy, sell, and invest in property.

He’s also into skiing, endurance sports, and cheering for the Oklahoma Sooners, so he’s got that competitive, never-give-up attitude. You can tell he’s someone who loves the grind, loves the challenge, and isn’t scared of big risks.

Bottom line? Skyler Aspegren is that rare combo of finance nerd, tech innovator, and real estate rebel. He’s been around the block, crushed it at every turn, and now he’s building the future of real estate tech. No cap, he’s the real deal, and he’s only just getting started.
