About Juan Manuel Giner

Juan Manuel Giner underwent a total gastrectomy after discovering he carried a CDH1 genetic mutation, which he explicitly ties to his renewed commitment to venture capital as a way to back innovations that can transform people's lives in health, genetics, education, mobility, work, and living. He openly reflects on his conscious bias toward health and human-genetics startups because of this experience and uses it to advocate that VCs surface and manage their unconscious biases to make portfolio construction and capital allocation as meritocratic and diverse as possible.

Founded in Argentina in 2011, Alaya Capital is a regional venture capital platform that backs Latin American digital entrepreneurs across Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina, with a team physically spread across these markets to provide on-ground expansion support rather than remote assistance. The firm turns Latin America's macro volatility into a structural advantage by using USD-denominated funds, pushing portfolio companies to regionalize early, and focusing on business models with strong unit economics as a hedge against currency and inflation shocks, while maintaining a hands-on support model that includes direct work on go-to-market strategy and a curated network of 30+ funds to coach founders through follow-on fundraising.
