A materials science engineer with over 20 years of experience in R&D and 5 patented technologies, Gerardo has spent his career turning deep scientific expertise into scalable ventures. He began by building and exiting a firm that helped companies commercialize their intellectual property and navigate research and development — work that gave him a front-row seat to how innovation actually moves from lab to market.

From there, he founded a protein design and expression company, which became the seed of something bigger: Gene Paradox, where he built an AI platform to help teams predict outcomes in synthetic biology — four years before that kind of thinking became mainstream.

Today, Gerardo focuses on what he knows best: helping founders with deep technology find their footing in the U.S. market. He works closely with Latin American biotech and medical companies, guiding them through mentorship and curating dealrooms that speak the language of serious investors. At InVentures, he brings that same lens to the medical and biotech vertical — helping founders not just tell their story, but structure it in a way that reflects the rigor, credibility, and commercial potential that top-tier investors are looking for. If you've built something real in biology or medicine, Gerardo has been exactly where you are and knows the path forward.
