Álvaro Pintado Santaularia (born 3 July 2004) is a Spanish technology entrepreneur and businessman.[1] He is the founder and CEO of hello.app, a company which he founded at the age of 17.[2][3][4] He is the author of El Sistema Financiero Descentralizado, a book about DeFi and how the decentralized financial system could replace the traditional one.[5][6]

Education and career

Álvaro Pintado was born in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain to middle class Spanish parents.[7] He studied at Viaró Global School, a Catholic boys' institution in his hometown.[8] Afterwards, he went to UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) to study Telecommunications Engineering, but dropped out after 3 months to focus on his entrepreneurship career.[9][10]

In 2022, he wrote the book El Sistema Financiero Descentralizado[11] and founded hello.app, a company that has since raised over $800,000[12] in funding from investors such as Esade, IESE Business School, and Bcombinator, among others. Its latest valuation was $16 million.[13][14]

hello.app is a decentralized storage network based on blockchain and distributed databases.[15][16] The concept is to use mobile devices to act as microservers, reducing reliance on large server farms owned by a few companies. Currently, hello.app has over 100,000 beta users across more than 200 countries.[17][18]

Pintado is also credited with one of the most expensive domain name purchases in Spain, having acquired www.hello.app for $115,000.[19][20][21]

Businesses

  • The Watch Paradise [22]
  • MineBit (import of Bitcoin mining machines)
  • Whispr (whispr.chat) [23][24]
  • hello.app [25]
