Ignacio Covarrubias is a founder and CTO with 11 years of software engineering experience, currently leading the technical vision at Plutto (YC S22) where AI is applied to optimize supplier selection, customer sales, and hiring. He has a track record of building product-ready platforms rapidly—most notably delivering a full Chargebee replica in three months at a stealth startup—and has co-founded multiple B2B ventures including Milla Travel. Strong in both hands-on development and team-building, Ignacio helped shape Platanus’s engineering methodology and served as Scrum Master and mentor in recruitment and internships. His background blends industrial engineering and computer science training from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile with startup acceleration experience at Platanus Ventures and Y Combinator. Based in Santiago, he pairs a global cultural curiosity—fuelled by a passion for music and travel—with pragmatic product-focused engineering. Colleagues would describe him as an operator who turns ambiguous problems into shipping systems under tight timelines.
