Juan Luis Leungli

I'm Juan, seed and early stage investor at Tectonic Ventures and an investor in companies like OmniML, Arcion Labs, Voyage AI, Neurophos, Forta, and evolvedMD. I work with founders on early funding, coaching, and supporting startups from the first checks through growth. I studied business at Boston University and have an MBA from Harvard Business School, and I was a Toigo Foundation fellow and a finalist at the Kauffman Fellows program. I was born and raised in Mexico, moved to the U.S. as a teenager, and come from a family of restaurant entrepreneurs who immigrated from a small village.

And my hot take is early-stage investors pay too much attention to traction and not enough to founders who will outwork the numbers.
