Tommaso Tomba

Yo, you gotta hear about Tommaso Tomba. Dude’s a straight-up startup machine, and his story is one of those “holy shit, this guy’s been everywhere and crushed it” kinda tales.

So, he jumps into the scene with a crazy solid background, like, he’s got a first in Econ from Warwick, then hits Oxford for software engineering, and Cambridge for finance. Basically, the trifecta of nerdy creds. But instead of just chilling in the books, he’s out there jumping into startups and tech from the get-go.

He’s worked at some heavy hitters, Twitch Labs (which later became Move.ai, focusing on biometrics tech), and he was an early employee at Linio, one of Latin America’s biggest e-commerce platforms. That’s a huge deal, especially since he’s got a deep thing for Latin America. Then he hops over to Rocket Internet, managing director for LATAM and Europe, which shows he’s got serious skills in scaling businesses across continents.

But what really sets him apart? He’s a guy who’s more than just working at companies. He’s a founder, an investor, and a visionary. He co-founded Moons, a healthcare startup in Mexico focused on doctor-led services, especially in the cosmetic dental scene. Think about that, he’s jumping into healthcare in Latin America, where access and innovation are a mess, and trying to fix it with tech. That’s some real-deal passion for having an effect. And he’s not just talking, Moons pulled in $5 million from international backers. No joke.

Before that, he was an Entrepreneur in Residence at Brightbridge Ventures and invested in a bunch of startups like Jeeves, Mercury, and SnapCalorie. Dude’s got the nose for good ideas and the guts to back them.

What’s wild is his process shows he’s all about pushing boundaries. He’s not afraid to jump into new tech, new markets, or new problems. His background? It’s all about connecting the dots, economics, software, finance, and hands-on startup hustle. That’s why he’s so useful, he’s got a mind that can see the big picture but also roll up his sleeves and make shit happen.

Today, he’s based out of Mexico City, still grinding, still innovating. Tommaso Tomba isn’t just another VC or founder, he’s a guy who’s been around the block, crushed every challenge, and now is building stuff that really matters in Latin America and beyond. That’s why I think he’s one of those entrepreneurs to watch, for real.
