Summary
Hugo Montenegro is a founder-led engineer with a decade of experience building AI- and web3-infused products, currently co-founding Peanut, a global money app based in Lisbon. He combines hands-on technical chops from Python automation and applied ML projects (NLP, CV, anomaly detection) with startup-building experience that includes founding Namy.ai (acquired) and raising $4M at Narcissa. A Harvard computer science graduate who also studied engineering at TUM, he moves between product, research and go-to-market roles and favors problems at the intersection of payments, game theory and longevity. Notably, he has both led university-scale tech governance and shipped domain-focused AI tooling, reflecting a mix of operational rigor and experimental product instincts.
