Building Together

A platform where people who want to make a difference can find their community, build meaningful initiatives, and create real impact. Guided by inclusivity, leadership, and sustainability.

What is Velazco Ventures?

The Problem We Solve

So many people want to make a real difference in the world but don't know where to start. They have ideas, passion, and perspectives that matter, but lack the structure, community, and resources to turn those ideas into reality.

Meanwhile, technology and innovation are rapidly changing our world, often without input from the diverse voices that should be shaping our future.

Our Solution

Velazco Ventures provides the platform, structure, and resources for people to come together around shared values and build initiatives that create meaningful change.

We facilitate impact by bringing diverse perspectives together, providing business frameworks that actually make things happen, and giving everyone (regardless of background) the tools to turn their ideas into action.

Our Core Values

🤝

Inclusivity

Everyone's perspective matters. We bring together diverse voices from all backgrounds, disciplines, and experiences.

Leadership

Empowering people to lead change in their communities and turn their vision into tangible impact.

🌱

Sustainability

How It Works

All you need to bring is your ideas and perspective. Whether you're in tech, social sciences, arts, business, or just someone who cares, your voice shapes the direction of our initiatives.

Why I Created Velazco Ventures

I've been fortunate to witness so many different perspectives: from tech developers focused on innovation, to social scientists studying human impact, to community members experiencing changes firsthand. What I've learned is that we need everyone's perspective to shape a future that impacts us all.

Technology isn't just a tech problem. It's a human problem. When AI changes how we create art, when automation impacts low-income communities, when new technologies reshape our daily lives, it affects all of us in deeply personal ways. Yet the people building these systems often don't include the diverse perspectives we desperately need.

I created Velazco Ventures because I believe change happens when passionate people come together with the right structure and resources. This platform is for everyone who's wanted to make a difference but didn't know where to start. Together, we can build initiatives we're proud of (initiatives that actually serve humanity).

Our First Initiative

We're building an interdisciplinary community around AI: creating accessible resources and fostering dialogue about technology's human impact. Using diverse perspectives to help people better understand AI's effects and develop technology more sustainably and ethically.
