I turn complextechnology intosimple decisions

I'm Octavio, and I help founders find the idea in front of them and turn it into something real.

What I do

EntrepreneurFounding team

I'm part of the founding team at Kigüi. I know what it takes to carry an idea from the first conversation to a working product, with everything that happens in between.

ProductZero to one

I decide what gets built, what gets cut, and in what order. The hard part of shipping a product is almost never the code.

ProfessorTeacher

I hold the Entrepreneurship chair in the Master in Management at Universidad de San Andrés. I teach how to go from an idea to building your own company, and how to avoid the most common mistakes.

SpeakerCommunicator

I gave a TEDx talk and a masterclass at Endeavor Patagonia. I want people to recognise the moments when they had a great idea and to understand why those ideas never happened. Then I hand them the tools to build the next one.

Advisor and angel investorGuidance

I help early-stage founders avoid the most frequent mistakes, and I bring my experience in exploring new verticals as fast as possible.

EngineerDeveloper

Electromechanical engineer, master's in finance, and a developer with experience in artificial intelligence. I understand both the technical problem and the number behind it.

Talks

I speak about entrepreneurship, how products get built, and how to apply technology without forcing a business to start over.

Bio

Portrait of Octavio Bidegain

I am an entrepreneur and a technology communicator.

I am part of the founding team at Kigüi, professor of Entrepreneurship in the Master in Management at Universidad de San Andrés, a TEDx speaker, and I taught a masterclass at Endeavor Patagonia on the method I apply to every project I take on.

I hold a degree in Electromechanical Engineering from UNMdP and a Master’s in Finance from UCEMA. I develop in Python and specialized in artificial intelligence.

Over the years I have faced the process of creating or learning something entirely new, from scratch, more times than I can count. The best way I found to clear my own path was to spend as long as it took to explain it in the simplest possible terms. That is what I do: I make sense of a situation and hand it over so that understanding it costs as little as possible — in plain, clear, close language.
