About me

Camilo Nova

Born in a small mining village in Colombia, my early life was far from ordinary. At 16, I found myself broke and homeless, a turning point that could have been the end—but it wasn't. I found a mentor, someone who saw potential in me where others didn't, and within a few years, I went from the streets to scoring one of the highest SAT grades in the country.

By 2002, I had moved to Bogota for college, where I graduated as a software engineer. I didn't stop there. Using my math and coding expertise applied to technical stock analysis, I built my fortune and, by 2007, founded a tech company that not only thrived but helped shape multiple industries. Today, I've invested in companies worth over $100 million combined.

In 2022, I relocated to Austin, Texas, where I continue to build, learn, and innovate. Along the way, I've developed a deep appreciation for the arts, particularly sculptures, and have spent countless hours exploring Roman history and stoic philosophy.

I'm driven by one vision: to contribute to a future where humanity isn't just bound to Earth, but thriving among the stars.
