Pablo Martinez

What I do: I connect people who have a need to a platform that was made with them in mind.

Why pay theory? I came to pay theory with first hand experience of the un/underbanked system that millions of Americans interact with. I have seen the ingenuity and creativity that people will find in order to solve their financial needs. This included everything from going to the local bodega to purchase international calling calls, paying bills in person, and going to the local Walmart to receive a wire transfer from my parents while in college. I want to create systems that include the needs of this demographic while simultaneously easing the lives of families all across the socioeconomic spectrum.

Background: I have been a part of the Argo Ventures Team in different capacities over the last 5 years. I have worked on developing the company’s brand identity as well as creating and executing on a well-developed marketing strategy.

My Family: I’m a first-generation American of two wonderful and hardworking Latinos. My family’s scrappy ‘us against the world’ outlook was instrumental in my development and pursuit of entrepreneurial endeavors.

Education: University of Cincinnati Carl H. Lindner College of Business | BBA 2018
