About

Who I am.

Feminist, community builder, investor, artist. Here's how the pieces fit together.

The Story

Cristina Fonseca

I build with technology, and I stay close to what makes it worth building.

I'm a feminist, a community builder, a problem solver, and a people connector. Originally from Nicaragua, I made my way to the Netherlands after six years in Taiwan. With a background in economics and an MBA, I discovered my passion for supporting entrepreneurs, first through Techstars and Seedstars, and then at Rockstart.

In my previous roles I focused on driving innovation at the intersection of gender and climate. I helped corporate partners reach their sustainability goals through entrepreneurship and new solutions, making sure those programs carried a gender-smart approach.

Now, in AI, I've pointed it at everything I already knew how to run, and watched how far one person could go.

The Long Way Here

2016 · Taiwan Moved across the world for an MBA Learned to work between markets, languages, and people who saw things differently
2018 · Venture Started backing founders Across Asia-Pacific and the Global South
2022 · Netherlands Moved to The Hague Venture, then AI, then building my own thing on top of both
Now Technology and the spiritual, side by side
