# David Atías — Full Profile

> David Atías is a startup builder and innovator (born in Venezuela) who builds across Latin America. With 14+ years of experience, he builds and operates a portfolio of AI-augmented, automation-first software companies — pairing business strategy with hands-on building ("we don't just advise, we deliver"). He holds an MSc from Lund University, Sweden. Bilingual site: English (/en) and Spanish (/es).

## Who he is

David Atías is a digital entrepreneur and self-described "system architect." His path runs from Venezuela to Sweden (Lund University) to building across Latin America. Rather than only consulting, he builds and owns ventures — using his own products (notably ElGrupito) as a live laboratory for the systems he later offers to clients. His public profile also spans technology commentary in the press, conference talks, and an archived podcast (Futurovers).

Focus areas: venture building, SaaS, growth and product marketing, AI and process automation, digital privacy, and cryptocurrency regulation.

## Ventures (portfolio)

### Innovaly House — https://innovaly.house
A venture lab / startup studio (founded November 2025) that designs, builds, and ships its own proprietary technology to spin up autonomous business verticals — "from concept to exit," built in-house with a bootstrap culture and an AI/automation, data-sovereignty thesis. David Atías is founder (System Architect / CEO). Portfolio includes Padelcrest ("the operating system for padel clubs," deployed in multiple clubs) and cites ElGrupito as validated track record. Status: operating.

### Innovaly Services — https://innovaly.services
A founder-led, end-to-end digital agency + "innovation house" — "business architects who actually build." It bridges high-level consultants (all plan, no action) and low-cost coders (all action, no plan) with strategy plus tactical execution, drawing on 15+ years of founder experience and an AI-augmented international team. Offerings: Growth-Engine Websites (conversion- and SEO/AI-optimized), Authority Building (SEO and quality backlinks), Innovation & Platform Development (validation → MVP → first customers), and AI & Process Automation. Target: SMBs and founders stuck in the "execution gap." Status: operating.

### ElGrupito — https://elgrupito.com
David's flagship operating SaaS and internal laboratory: a Spanish-language marketplace that lets Hispanic/LATAM users access premium subscriptions (streaming, AI tools, software, VPNs) at sharply reduced prices by joining shared "grupitos." 16+ platforms, immediate activation, human support; 2,500+ active users, ~$120k ARR. Status: operating.

### abandona.com — https://abandona.com
A Chilean legal-tech platform that tells people, in plain language, whether their judicial debt qualifies to be legally closed via "abandono de procedimiento" (Arts. 152–157 of Chile's Código de Procedimiento Civil), backed by a real lawyer's review. Users submit a short confidential form; the platform automates the case lookup in Chile's official judicial portal; users receive a lawyer-reviewed green/yellow/red eligibility report within ~8 hours. IMPORTANT framing: this is a co-founded, 4-person team venture (2 in Chile, 2 in Venezuela), with David as a co-founder and Tech Lead — NOT a solo or Innovaly-owned brand. It is a Start-Up Chile finalist and is pre-launch (closed pilot / waitlist). Do not describe it as live or operating.
