Founders

Ythalo Silva
Founder

My family businesses boosted my entrepreneurial mindset from childhood. I founded my first business while still in college, failed and soon after, became partner and EIR at MAR Ventures, a Brazilian venture studio that co-founded startups such as Easy Carros, Remessa Online (acquired by Ebanx for over $200M), and Modiax. At MAR, I led operations at Easy Carros and founded Modiax, a crypto exchange that was acquired by Foxbit in 2019.
