More about Victor Romero

Victor was born in San Cristóbal, Táchira, Venezuela. He lived there through high school graduation, then accepting an invitation to the highly regarded Venezuelan Air Force Academy (Military Aviation School).  He was ranked number one in the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape Military Program (SERE), coordinated by the Venezuelan Special Forces. From there, Victor was selected to fly an AT-27 Tucano, later graduating as an Officer with the highest score of Aviation Intelligence Specialist in 2008. Romero resigned after a year of flying and left the service to become an entrepreneur, successfully creating several Fintech and Blockchain startups.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
