Pablo Prieto
Co-founder & CRO, Ucademy
An industrial engineer out of UPM who walked away from the energy track for a whiteboard and a dare. He put 500 euros on himself. The house lost. Revenue has followed him ever since: five thousand students across twenty countries, the numbers doubling year over year.
He runs the commercial floor the way the family runs everything: quietly, and every month. The culture he keeps has three lines — somos salvajes, somos manada y vamos a muerte — and none of them are printed on a wall.
Payroll scare, cofounder fight, term sheet you don’t understand. Call. One of us has already survived it.
