About Cristo

Cristo’s scaling journey started in 2012 at Rocket Internet: 100 days to launch from a blank office to a functioning food-delivery business, including hiring a team and signing the first 100 restaurants—groundwork for a platform that expanded to 40 countries. He has since founded multiple ventures and worked with some of the world’s fastest-growing unicorns across six continents. His playbook blends bold strategy with transparent, inclusive leadership—clear metrics, clear “why,” empowered teams.

At Revise, Cristo backs ambitious founders in fintech, venture capital, and platform businesses—investing, advising, and operating to turn conviction into durable scale. Open to remote or on-the-ground engagements and always keen to connect with VCs, founders, and leadership teams planning global expansion.

  • International expansion and entering new markets
  • Fundraising and working with VCs
