Hi, I'm Horacio.

Founder. Builder. Connector.

3× SXSW Meetup Host  ·  Austin Tech Week Speaker

Every tool built for connecting at events is bad. I tried them all: web-based, clunky, forgotten the moment someone walks away. So we built Boop: scan a QR code, send a text, book a meeting before you leave the event.

I also build the room. MATCH HOUSE is a curated founder-investor series I co-produce. We launched during SXSW 2026 with 500+ vetted attendees and $1.3B+ in capital raised by founders in the room.

Based in NY. Most of my time is spent exactly where deals start: conferences, founder dinners, and the conversations in between.

My work

A product and a room.

A product for the people on the conference floor, and a room for the people writing the checks.

Live

Book meetings during the event, not from your inbox.

A platform for booking follow-up meetings and connecting at events. Visitors scan a QR code, text their info, and book a meeting before they leave the event.
