Hiroshi Wald

I run US operations for Austral Capital, an early-stage venture fund investing in IT and life sciences companies across the US and Latin America, with offices in Santiago and Palo Alto. Before venture, I founded Zingdata, a wireless market research platform that got acquired, then led NLP and semantic analysis work at Competitive Insights. I also spent time at The White House and Hill and Knowlton early in my career. I'm a UCLA grad and game for any gastronomic adventure, anytime. Ask me about early-stage venture investing, US-Latin America deal flow, building and selling a startup, and natural language processing in market research.
