Top SchoolOrlando Espinoza is a serial founder and operator with nine years building startups across logistics, payments, and food services. He co-founded and scaled Gacela Delivery into Ecuador’s leading B2B logistics platform before its acquisition, and later led YC-backed MIPOS to modernize POS and multi-platform delivery integration in Mexico and Colombia. More recently he launched Karta to issue contactless US metal credit cards for Latin American residents and founded mortgage tech TryHomz, demonstrating a pattern of tackling cross-border fintech and commerce frictions.
