Mateo Vela
climate hardware founder. former mech-e at apple. trying to make industrial heat pumps cheap enough that latam factories stop burning diesel.
currently building
a modular high-temperature heat pump (200°C output) for industrial process heat. third prototype is in a são paulo brewery and so far hasn't caught fire.
asking for
anyone with industrial sales experience in latam. also: people who've raised hardware seed rounds without giving up half the company.
offering
thermal systems design. if you're working on heat management, batteries, or dense compute cooling, i probably have an opinion.
