With over two decades shaping Latin America’s tech backbone, Angel Cisneros has repeatedly built what others said was impossible — from bootstrapping QUIUBAS into the region’s dominant messaging network to now wiring LatAm’s sovereign AI grid with Saptiva. His story is defined by bold bets, market-defining execution, and an unshakable belief that the region can build infrastructure at a global scale.
Angel’s journey is defined by bold bets, long-term vision, and a record of building market-defining companies that reshaped Latin America’s tech ecosystem.
Saptiva is orchestrating the region’s AI stack — enterprise-grade, regulation-ready infrastructure running across banks, governments, and national defense. Backed by Nvidia, anchoring Mexico’s national AI agenda, and scaling with multi-year contracts across the continent.
Active investor in early-stage startups across LatAm. Providing not just capital, but battle-tested guidance from scaling market-dominant companies — helping founders turn bold ideas into enduring infrastructure.
Captured 95% of Mexico’s SMS market and 70% of LatAm, becoming Google’s #1 vendor in 21 countries. Bootstrapped to +$70M USD ARR with just 18 people before being acquired by Twilio — proving global tech can be built from LatAm.
Founded in Guanajuato, the company delivered enterprise-grade software for U.S. agencies, including FEMA after major hurricanes. Among the earliest adopters of the software augmentation model, years before it became industry standard.
Latin America cannot outsource its future. For decades, the region has depended on foreign infrastructure — from telecom to cloud — leaving critical industries exposed to external control.With Saptiva, Angel is building the sovereign AI grid for LatAm: a regulation-ready, enterprise-first stack that gives banks, governments, and national industries the ability to deploy AI with local control, compliance, and security.This is not just about technology — it’s about economic independence. Just as Quiubas proved that global infrastructure could be built from Mexico, Saptiva is proving that LatAm can own the next century of AI infrastructure.
