Joaquim Miro
Serial Entrepreneur.
AI Automation Consultant. Web3 Incubator.
Building, investing, and advising world class tech startups. Expert in remote operations scaling, AI automation, and web3 ecosystems.
Building from Anywhere
Joaquim Miro is a serial entrepreneur and investor who has co-founded, scaled, and exited multiple companies while traveling to 75+ countries across every continent.
He scaled a company from 4 to 120 employees in 9 months with no external funding, co-founded a project that reached 400M+ market cap, and now sits at the intersection of web3, AI, fintech, and venture capital as a founding partner at GDA Capital and co-founder of Gatewayz.ai.
He advises at TechStars, Founders Institute, Outlier Ventures, and Holt Xchange. He is a connector, operator, and builder who brings a rare combination of strategic depth and global perspective.
Unlike most advisors in this space, Joaquim has actually operated as CEO, CMO, COO, and Chief of Staff across multiple ventures. He is not a talking head. He is a full-stack operator who has done the work, and done it remotely from every corner of the planet.
My "Why"
We all need our Second Mountain.
Build & grow together.
To cultivate a community of like-minded, growth-minded, high-integrity people — where we hold each other accountable, create real things, and rise together through shared ambition and mutual trust.
Raise critical thinkers, not screen consumers.
A generation of children who develop high awareness, deep curiosity, and independent thought — staying as screen-free as possible through early adolescence, grounded in real experience before the digital world takes hold.
