Juan Caviglia

Check it out, we’re talking about Juan Caviglia, the guy’s a straight-up startup machine. He’s been around the block for over 10 years, and he’s not just playing in the big leagues, he’s crushing it.

So, he’s a YC W18 alum, which means he jumped into the game with the best of the best early on. That alone shows he’s got guts and vision. His main gigs? Co-founder and CEO at Ritual, a killer health & wellness platform that’s making waves, and he’s also the co-founder of Meitre, this dope SaaS for restaurants to handle reservations and management, super practical, super needed. Basically, he’s building tools that make life easier for busy people, whether they’re ordering health stuff or managing a restaurant.

Before all that, he’s done a ton, worked at Aurea Software as a Technical Program Manager, led tech teams, and even ran Vixur as CEO and product guy. That proves he’s not just about ideas; he’s about making shit happen, hands-on, from product to tech. And he’s not just in startups, he’s got serious chops working with big players like the Inter-American Development Bank, IFC, and Citibank. Think about that, he’s been in the trenches with some of the biggest financial and development orgs out there, which shows he’s got the skills to scale and operate at a high level.

And get this, he even sat as a Director at Club Nacional de Football. So, he’s got a sports side hustle too, showing he’s versatile and knows how to lead teams in totally different worlds.

His background? Studied engineering at Stella Maris College, which gave him that solid tech foundation. But what really sets him apart is his drive. The fact he’s been jumping into startups, raising funds, and building products that matter, that’s not easy. It’s about real passion, no bullshit. He’s been in the trenches, learning, failing, iterating, and then crushing it with companies like Ritual and Meitre.

Bottom line: Juan’s the kind of founder who turns ideas into reality, who’s not afraid to jump into the deep end, and who’s built a track record that proves he’s in it for the long haul. The dude’s got hustle, vision, and the skills to make a real impact. No cap, he’s one of those guys you wanna keep an eye on, because he’s only just getting started.
