◆ FROM ARGENTINA TO SCOTLAND — STILL CHASING THE NEXT IDEA ◆
$ whoami
I've launched eight companies, sold two, and eaten dirt a few times. Now I'm all in on Visionator (making businesses zoom) and Helpix (giving local shops AI superpowers). I live for that spark when an idea clicks.

FOUNDER'S FAQS

> WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START THESE VENTURES?

It's always been about solving real problems. Growing up in Latin America, I saw how resourcefulness and resilience could make or break a project. Every venture I've started has been driven by the same goal: finding better ways to do things and making a real impact.

> HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH IDEAS ARE WORTH PURSUING?

It's a mix of instinct and experience. After building eight companies (and seeing a few fail too), you start to recognise patterns. If an idea solves a real problem, excites me, and has room to scale, I'll dive in. But more than anything, I've learned to trust my gut — it's usually right.

> THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN BUILDING THEM?

Adapting to uncertainty. Argentina taught me resilience the hard way, and that's been invaluable. Whether it's navigating economic instability or the constant ups and downs of running a business, you have to stay flexible and keep moving forward. It's where the growth happens.

> HOW DO YOUR VENTURES CREATE VALUE?

By solving real, everyday problems. With Visionator we're helping businesses get smarter with their tech. With Helpix the focus is on helping local businesses never miss a customer. If a venture doesn't make life easier or create opportunities, I'm not interested in building it.

ABOUT GASTON

$ cat bio.txt

I'm from Argentina, where you learn to roll with the punches before you even know you'll need to. Growing up with big challenges and not much to work with taught me to spot opportunities and charge at them. That's still my fuel — find the gap, fix it, keep moving.

For over 25 years I've been deep in tech, hopping from the Americas to Europe, chasing ideas and sniffing out problems others overlook. I've kicked off eight companies — some soared, two got sold, and a few taught me how to dust myself off. The trick isn't just a killer idea; it's nailing the right problem and grinding through the chaos.

Now I'm in Scotland, steering two projects that have me fired up. Visionator helps businesses grow smarter and faster. Helpix uses AI to boost local shops. Different gigs, same deal — see the problem, solve it, make things better.

Building stuff isn't just about numbers for me. It's the thrill of an idea that won't let go and the hustle to pull it off. Got an idea or a problem to crack? Let's talk and make some noise.

> WHAT GETS YOU GOING?

I love fixing things. I walk around spotting stuff that's off — "Why's this so hard? Can we make it better?" It's about solving real problems and shaking things up.

> A BIG LESSON YOU STICK TO?

Don't quit. Argentina taught me that young. Crazy inflation, wild ups and downs — you learn to roll with it. Things go wrong? You figure it out and keep pushing. There's always a way.

> HOW DO YOU STAY CHILL?

My family's my rock. Hiking near the castle keeps me grounded. Tennis is my jam — too bad I've battled tennis elbow!

> YOUR THING OUTSIDE WORK?

I'm a curious cat. Nothing beats hitting the road with my family — a buzzing city or a tiny Scottish hamlet where the sheep outnumber the people. New sights light a spark that keeps my ideas flowing.
