Meet the team
Alvaro Alvarez del Rio
Managing Partner
I am fascinated by human behaviour. Meeting fierce founders with outlandish visions is my intellectual passion. The best part of my job is trying to help those founders define growth strategies for the products that will shape our future.
Before I started Boost Capital Partners I spent 12 years as a Partner at Swordfish Investments and Initial Capital. There, I invested in 80 software startups, sat on 25 boards, advised 5 companies, and one fund.
The second best part of my job? The never-ending quest of learning what makes people tick.
Benjamin Torrero
Principal
I am driven by helping people. Especially those who are solving the most important problems of our lives — whether it’s improving mental health, solving inefficiencies of the healthcare systems, or allowing access to credit for those who need it.
Before joining Boost Capital Partners, I worked as a financial lawyer. I founded and led an Angel Syndicate to find and invest in people solving inefficiencies in Latam.
The red thread connecting all my experiences? Applying insights of human behavior to all things product.
Ignacio Monereo
Partner
Before joining Boost Capital, I spent 10+ years working at Google and Meta helping web and app developers and content creators increase both reach and monetization. I am an active angel investor in various startups and a proud mentor with incubator programs such as Antler.
What drives me in the dynamic startup landscape is sharing experiences. I love being part of a community that is bigger than myself.
Larissa Mansur
Platform
I have experience in leading and growing communities of founders and angel investors across Latin America while working in Latitud. From bootstrapped companies to non-profits, my background as an operator ranges from roles across product marketing, expansion, BD, and operations.
