Antonio Arizmendi
@antonioarizmendi
Operator and investor specializing in venture capital, deal execution, and growth strategy.
What I'm looking for
I am an operator and investor with 4+ years at the intersection of Venture Capital, Strategy, and Business Operations. I build structure where none exists and move quickly without sacrificing analytical rigor.
At Avalancha Ventures I owned pipeline strategy, sourced a large share of incoming opportunities, led 25+ full-cycle investment analyses, and closed three investments end-to-end. I also automated portfolio KPI tracking and improved reporting compliance substantially.
Previously, I conducted market-entry and growth analysis for SimpleState (Argentina) focused on Mexico and advised the founder on fundraising and strategic introductions. I managed day-to-day operations for a family tourism business, handling supplier negotiations, inventory, and accounting.
I hold a B.S. in Industrial Engineering (Magna Cum Laude) from Universidad de las Américas Puebla and completed a Blockchain Revolution specialization at INSEAD via Coursera. I bring strong skills in financial modeling, legal due diligence, low-code automation, and data visualization to early-stage investing and growth work.
