Martin Schrimpff

Martin Schrimpff is a successful serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience founding, scaling, and advising startups.

While he has co-founded various tech companies in Latin America, his first startup was PayU, a payment service provider focused on growth markets that scaled across 16 countries with revenues over $300 million USD. It was eventually sold to Naspers (Prosus) for over 1 Billion USD. After this formative experience, he proceeded to co-found Zinobe, Colombia's largest Fintech in the consumer and SMB lending space, and that has recently expanded to Mexico to serve the larger Latam market under his advice. He had the honor of being selected Endeavor Entrepreneur in 2010 and is an active Angel investor with over 20 tech investments in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia.

Originally hailing from Colombia, Martin now lives in Mexico City with his three kids and his beloved wife, Francine. Always on the quest for adventure, Martin is an avid kite surfer, a licensed pilot, and can often be found playing poker with other Latam founders.
