Juan Moliner Malaxechevarría

Gotta respect Juan Moliner Malaxechevarría – this guy is the real deal. So, he’s part of YC W23, which already says a lot – that he’s got that startup hustle and the brains to back it up. But what really makes him stand out is his process.

He’s got a solid background, man. Before jumping into the startup scene full-on, he was grinding at Boston Consulting Group, which is no joke. That’s where he got his planned game on point, understanding how big businesses tick and what it takes to shift gears fast. Then he dipped his toes into the venture world with Flash Ventures – probably learning how to spot the future trend and how to fund it. And now, he’s co-founder of Invopop, a YC-backed startup helping global software companies crack the code on local tax compliance. Think about that – he’s tackling a huge problem for SaaS companies all over the world.

What does that say about him? Dude’s got the hustle, for sure. He’s not just chasing shiny tech; he’s solving real-world problems that are super complex and need smart, practical solutions. Starting Invopop? That’s a move born from experience – he’s seen the pain firsthand, maybe from his consulting days or his own startup stints, and he jumped right into fixing it. It’s that classic founder’s trait: seeing a bullshit problem, and saying, “No cap, I can fix this.”

His story is about evolution – from big consulting gigs to VC, then to building a startup that’s actually changing how software companies handle taxes in different countries. That’s no small feat. It’s a mix of deep tech knowledge, a global mindset, and a willingness to jump into the chaos of startups and make shit happen.

So, bottom line? Juan’s a founder who’s all about making a real impact, not just chasing shiny tech. He’s the type who’s been around the block, knows what it takes to win, and now he’s building something that’s gonna crush it. Keep an eye on him – he’s just getting started.
