Alonso Garcia Molina

Gotta respect Alonso Garcia Molina. This guy is the real deal. He jumped into the startup game early, like back in W18 with Y Combinator, that’s some serious cred. He was the CTO and co-founder of Flinto, a Mexican digital wallet startup that totally crushed it. They built something super needed in Mexico’s fintech scene, and honestly, they made a splash enough to get acquired. That’s no small feat, dude.

Alonso’s story isn’t just about fintech. He’s got deep roots in robotics and STEM, with time spent at Panteras FRC 2283 and Bears FTC 3141 and 5415. He’s been all about tech from day one, not just in finance but in inspiring the next gen of engineers and problem-solvers. This guy isn’t just in it for the money; he pushes tech boundaries and gives back to the community like a boss.

What’s crazy is, his process shows he’s driven by a real passion for building stuff that matters. He’s not just in it for the fame or the quick wins, he genuinely wants to create solutions that change the game. Starting Flinto, getting into YC, then selling, that’s a story of someone who jumps in, crushes it, and then keeps pushing forward. It’s like he’s always looking for the future trend to build or problem to solve.

So yeah, Alonso is that guy who’s been in the trenches, making moves, and doing it all with a clear vision. He’s all about tech, impact, and never settling. No Cap, he’s one of those founders you gotta watch, he’s built for the long haul, and he’s just getting started.
