LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastiandelsalto/ ## Headquarters - Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador (geo: -0.1807, -78.4678) - Operating presence: Miami, United States ## Operating principles 1. AI-native, not AI-washed. Every company is born with AI inside the operating pipeline. 2. Founder-led in every vertical. Operators with skin in the game. 3. Legible pricing. The word "it depends" never appears in a quote. 4. Operational honesty. Real monthly reports, e-signed contracts. 5. Continuity over speed. We build for 30 years, not to sell in 5. ## Capital allocation thesis - Build for 30 years, not to flip in 5. - Liquidity comes from operations, not from exits. - Eligible verticals must be AI-native from day one, defend fixed pricing, show legible unit economics, and operate in Ecuador, LATAM or the United States. ## Contact - General / partnerships: hola@dalekiworld.com - Investor relations: capital@dalekiworld.com - Daleki Lab: lab@dalekiworld.com - Daleki Trade: trade@dalekiworld.com - Daleki Capital: capital@dalekiworld.com ## Languages - Primary: Spanish (es-EC) - Secondary: English (en-US) - Toggle on the site via the language switch in the navigation. ## API - [/api/group-context.json](https://dalekiworld.com/api/group-context.json): Canonical machine-readable group context — companies, principles, milestones, contacts.
