Andres Barreto Biography
Andres Barreto (born in 1987) is a Colombian-American entrepreneur. Originally from Colombia, he now lives in New York City. His latest company, Onswipe, is a software platform that enables publishers and advertisers to reach large audiences through touchable devices like the iPad. Barreto has also launched several successful technology firms, including Grooveshark, PulsoSocial, and Cloudomatic. His serial entrepreneurship earned him the nickname of “The Latin Mark Zuckerberg”.
Barreto was born in Colombia and moved to the United States at the age of 12. His parents, an engineer and a dentist, settled in Florida where Barreto attended high school and college. He founded his first company in 2005, while he was a student at University of Florida. Barreto went to college thinking that he would major in business and engineering. After he had taken a few political science courses, he wanted to help Latin America become more financially stable through entrepreneurship.
In 2005, he created an online platform where students could share class notes and homework. During this year he also launched a public-relations agency to help companies in America reach the Latin American market and vice-versa. This agency, Socialatom Group, connected the two markets to help the economies of Latin America. The group is headquartered in Miami, Florida and has offices across Latin America
In 2006, he created Grooveshark, an on-demand, music-streaming service. Grooveshark has grown to more than 100 employees. Over a million users listen to more than 15 million songs of all different genres on the website. In 2011, Grooveshark was a finalist in the 2011 Mashable Awards, which honors the best of digital and social media.
In 2008, he launched PulsoSocial, which is a media portal that is used to share technology, social media, and entrepreneurship news from Latin America. PulsoSocial is "the leading publication on Social Media, Technology and Entrepreneurship" in the region. Barreto describes the site as a “Latin American version of TechCrunch or Mashable.”
Barreto founded Onswipe with Jason L. Baptiste in June 2010 to facilitate app sharing across all tablet and device platforms. Onswipe has simplified sharing for publishers because they no longer must develop applications for each mobile platform.
In 2012, Barreto launched a startup accelerator in Colombia. The program invests $25k in each of the 5-10 teams that it incubates for a period of 14 weeks. Teams have the opportunity to “meet with mentors, entrepreneurs and investors in San Francisco, Boston, and New York.” Teams selected for the accelerator will have access to shared office space in Bogotá
