Roberto Yoncon

Yo, you gotta hear about Roberto Yoncon. This guy’s the real deal in Latin American startup land. He’s been around the block, jumping into different projects, and now he’s making waves with Mipos.dev, a YC S19 alum. That’s like the gold standard, right?

So, Roberto’s based out in Ecuador, but his hustle took him across borders. He co-founded MiPOSDev, which was basically trying to connect all the restaurant tech stuff in Latin America via one API. Imagine that: all the restaurant tools, ordering, payments, delivery, talking to each other smoothly. That’s some advanced infrastructure work, and he crushed it. Even though Mipos.dev is now inactive and was based in Mexico City, the idea and the hustle behind it? No cap, it’s the real deal.

Before that, he’s been deep in the game with startups like Gacela Delivery, Shippify, SureTrack, and Skysite. Dude’s been in the trenches, figuring out what works, and what doesn’t. His background’s legit, alum of Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral, so he’s got a solid tech foundation. But here’s the real deal: it’s more than just tech. Roberto’s the kind of guy who sees a problem, jumps right into it, and tries to fix it. No bullshit, just straight-up problem-solving.

What’s crazy is how his process shows what it really means to start something. It’s about the grind, the willingness to try, fail, learn, and keep pushing. He’s been in multiple startups, each one building his experience, sharpening his vision. And then he hits YC, one of the most competitive accelerators out there, which proves he’s got that fire.

Honestly, Roberto Yoncon is a prime example of a modern startup hustler. He’s not just throwing ideas around; he’s building stuff that’s actually useful, especially for Latin America, which often gets left out of the global tech convo. His story? It’s about passion, grit, and a relentless drive to solve real problems. That’s why he’s important. He’s not just another founder, he’s someone who’s shaping the future of tech in the region.
