Carlos Tejeda

I’m a serial entrepreneur and have been working with LatAm SMBs for more than 20 years (more on that below).

Currently, I’m working on Pideaky (YC S21) — we help offline LatAm SMBs manage and accelerate their cash flow through inventory-based financing and payments/collection/reconciliation solutions.

We focus on the massively underserved $70B/year customer segment as our wedge — Mexican corner shops and corner shop providers, and to date, we’ve already impacted over 6,200 corner store owners

We’re backed by Silicon Valley VCs and are actively hiring and expanding across Mexico/LatAm. Let us know if you'd like to connect — I’m open for coffee chats.

Previously, I’ve built 2 great companies serving SMBs:

1. Payphone manufacturer ([R&C Telecomunicaciones](https://enlacee.org/rc-telecomunicaciones-2-2/)), where we sold 100k payphones to corner shops across Latin America (Chile, Perú Argentina, Central America, and México) as well as to major carriers such as Movistar, Bellsouth, Telcel, Telmex.

2. Wireless internet network (ORCA Wireless), which we built from scratch and where we provided the service to 250k neighbors of corner shops.
