I don't just talk theory — I practice it constantly.
Communities I've participated in
Bogotá communities that have invited me to facilitate workshops and conversations among their members.
The why
You don't need another business-card-and-logo event
Companies don't need another event full of quick handshakes. They need conversations where the right decision-makers
can think out loud, without commercial pressure, with a clear reason to trust the room.
Since the dinner we matched with one of the members for a commercial alliance that combines our skills, exactly what he needed for his project.
No pitch
Trust is designed, not declared
For the guest
Carefully selected guests. Pitch-free conversations. A table designed so everyone has a real reason to be there.
For the hosting brand
The sponsor is not buying a stage to sell from. They walk away with an open, warm channel to specific decision-makers: once the conversation happened and their time was respected, the door to speak directly stays open. Cold, that is almost never achieved.
Formats
Experiences with their own name and promise
Each format has a distinct size, intent, and outcome. None is a generic event.
In-person Bogotá
Manual curation
Moderation included
6–8 guestsMost requested
Private B2B dinners
Premium, curated, moderated gatherings for decision-makers and key guests at private venues in Bogotá. 6 to 8 people: the magic number.
Real relationships with decision-makers in a premium context.
I define the topic, guest profile, and strategic intent. Then I curate the table, design the experience, and
protect the tone so the hosting brand can be present and build trust.
7 clear steps
Lists you approve
Live moderation
1
Strategy
We define the topic, guest profile, and the brand's strategic intent together.
Shared clarity before inviting anyone.
2
Guest profile
We agree on the ideal decision-maker: role, sector, complementarity.
Only decision-makers who fit the topic.
3
Curation
Differentiator
I build the list by relevance and conversation quality, not logos.
The room is built by relevance, not volume.
4
Invitations
I design careful outreach, application-only when appropriate.
Outreach that filters and elevates the tone.
5
Venue and experience
I select a private space in Bogotá and care for table details that communicate intent.
A space that communicates intent from the table up.
6
Facilitation
I moderate live, include quieter voices, and protect tone so the brand is present and achieves its purpose.
The brand present, without monopolizing the conversation.
7
Synthesis and follow-up
After the table, I deliver a curated synthesis of what was discussed that adds value for every guest — including those who couldn't attend — and leaves your channel open, without pitch.
A deliverable that respects the guest and keeps the channel open.
Who it's for
Two audiences, one standard of care

Interesting conversation with peers at their level
Dipy is the community I founded and continue to operate in Bogotá. At its dinners, I consistently apply the same principle I bring to companies: few people, careful curation, and no commercial pressure.
6 carefully chosen people. No pitches. Only genuine conversations among people who bring something valuable to the community.
It is not a one-off demonstration, but an active practice that helps me understand what makes a conversation build trust and continue beyond the table.
Professional relationships that extend beyond the table.
As host, I don't delegate the most delicate part of the event: reading the room, curating profiles, and protecting conversation quality.
I combine 16 years in software, leadership in international fintech (Zoe Financial in New York and PayJoy in San Francisco), community building, and in-person facilitation. My presence is not decorative — it is part of the product.
The reputation on the line is mine, in every invitation and every chair. This is not an agency with a rotating moderator — it is a single name standing behind the table. That's why I don't design events to entertain: I create the conditions for trust to begin.

Frequently asked questions
Objections resolved before the first call
Is this a sales event?
No. The hosting brand proposes the topic and participates in the conversation, but the format is not designed as a pitch. Trust
is protected because the guest must feel their time was respected.
Who invites the guests?
Ignacio defines the ideal profile with the company and then curates the list by relevance, complementarity, and conversation
quality.
What is the ideal size?
It depends on the goal: a private dinner runs 6 to 8 guests (the magic number), a roundtable 8 to 14, and a masterclass or knowledge event can
grow if curation and conversation are preserved.
What does Ignacio do personally?
Topic strategy, profile curation, experience design, and live facilitation. His presence is part of the product, not decoration.
What happens after the event?
I deliver a curated synthesis of the conversation to every guest — including those who couldn't attend. It adds real value for the guest and leaves your channel open to those decision-makers, without selling.
What types of companies fit?
B2B tech, fintech, SaaS, professional services, venture, legal, compliance, HR, product, and engineering companies that want
to speak with specific decision-makers in Bogotá.
Do you do virtual events?
Not as a core product. The offer is in-person in Bogotá — and that is the advantage.
