Venue.ink is a booking app for tattoo artists and studios. Receive bookings, manage your calendar, chat with clients and get paid. We help artists spend more time on art, and less time on admin.
I started my career as a business analyst at McKinsey & Company. After a quick operations tour at the Vancouver Olympic Games and an MBA at INSEAD, I worked at A Place for Mom in Seattle. I was an early employee at Wealthsimple (co-founded by Brett Huneycutt & Rudy Adler, prev. YC S10) before founding Venue. I live in Toronto with my wife Tenielle our two boys (Abe is 10, and Reuben is 7).
I am computer engineer, born in Brazil, moved to Canada in 2012, I love seeing people using my creations, most recently working with WebRTC, React, Typescript and Ruby on Rails. Love to discuss and talk about tech, processes, ideas, product development.
