Personal Details

Bio

Pedro David Espinoza is The Robin Hood of Technology according to The Voice of America. He is an internet entrepreneur, angel investor, keynote speaker, and soon-to-be author. At the age of 19, Pedro became the Founder and CEO of SmileyGo, an analytics platform that uses artificial intelligence to help companies take control of their public policy risk and turn their philanthropic grants into visibility. The investor-backed company aims to power some of the world’s largest and most influential corporations, marketing departments, and corporate foundations.

While studying at Stanford and Berkeley, Pedro began his career working for Shell, Honda, and Toyota. Pedro is also an investor in early stage companies such as Nadine West, Kiwi Campus, and Feed.FM. He’s been a keynote speaker for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the World Intellectual Property Organization, and other prestigious associations, universities, and conferences.

Pedro has been profiled in Voice of America, Univision, Hispanic Shark Tank, Fox News, and Forbes. He also served as the chapter President of the Business Professionals of America and Modern Music Masters Honor Society in Lima, which is a worldwide organization that served students through music. In 2018, Pedro will publish a book with Jorge Titinger (ex-CEO of Silicon Graphics International) about how immigrants have a competitive advantage to start a company in America.
