Hey, I’m Francisco Córdoba Otálora

I’ve spent the last decade navigating the worlds of asset tokenization, finance, and entrepreneurship. Along the way, I’ve picked up stories, scars, and insights that just might explain why I’m the guy to roast your investment portfolio into shape.

I don’t call myself a guru, but I’ll admit I’m a bit obsessed with understanding how money moves—and how to make it work harder for us. My journey hasn’t been perfect, but here are five reasons you might want me in your corner:

• Marie Curie Research Fellow – Handpicked to explore cutting-edge asset tokenization in my PHD. Yes, I know, it sounds fancy—and it is.
• World Traveler & Business Starter – From building H&M’s first pop-up store in Germany to launching ventures in the US and Singapore, I’ve learned how investments—and mistakes—translate across borders.
• MIT Innovator Under 35 – Recognized for launching the world’s first remittances-based blockchain app, transforming how families across borders move money.
• Speaking Gigs in London, New York, and Mexico – From Fintech talks in El Salvador to startup lessons in Moldova, I’ve shared stages with some of the brightest minds around.
• Rejected by Shark Tank & Y Combinator—Twice! – It was humbling, but it sharpened my edge and fueled me to create even better ventures.

Now, I’ve combined all this experience with my love for cracking open portfolios and finding what’s holding them back. My Investment Portfolio Roast isn’t about fluff—it’s about actionable insights with a sprinkle of wit.
