Martin Nagelberg

Lowkey, you gotta hear about Martin Nagelberg. This guy’s a straight-up machine in the Argentinian tech and crypto scene.

He’s a software engineer and serial entrepreneur who’s crushed it so hard, he went through Y Combinator *twice*. Yeah, you heard that right. First with Plunzo in the S20 batch, and then leading the tech for TiendaCrypto in the W20 batch. No cap, that’s some advanced hustle. With over 10 years in the trenches, this dude has been building stuff non-stop.

He founded his own software dev company, Bytelime SAS, and even created cool side projects like ‘WC bot’, an open-source tool just to help people buy World Cup tickets without the bullshit queues. That shows you his mindset: sees a problem, codes a solution. Simple as that. His main gig now is TiendaCrypto, where he’s the co-founder and CTO. They’re building a crypto exchange and payment gateway, basically making it super easy for people in Latin America to get into crypto. This isn’t just another app; it’s building real financial infrastructure.

What does his process tell you? The guy is obsessed with building. From a smart contract game for the World Cup (Cryptocup) to teaching algorithms at the university, he’s always been deep in tech. His process shows he’s not just a hired gun; he’s a true founder who jumps into the deep end, builds a team, and makes shit happen, over and over again.

Bottom line? Martin Nagelberg is the definition of a builder. He’s got the engineering chops, the entrepreneurial grit, and the YC cred to back it up. He’s one of those key players pushing fintech and crypto forward in LATAM. The real deal.
