Leopoldo is the Co-Founder and CEO of Presta. Presta is a digital lending infrastructure that allows traditional financial institutions to better lend to SMBs by allowing them to book loans digitally. Leo’s previous experience has been centered around GovTech — most recently focused on expanding access to equity investment. He launched The Opportunity Exchange, an equity investment marketplace for economic development projects. After powering projects in the majority of the US, The Opportunity Exchange was acquired by Bludot, a competitor in the space. Prior to that, he helped launch a mobile voting platform designed to securely cast votes in elections across the globe, allowing members of the US military to participate in general and midterm elections while serving abroad. Currently in Brooklyn, NY with his dog Chamo, Leo holds a Bachelor’s of Science from Cornell University and is an alumnus of the Venture for America Fellowship.
