Hector Dominguez

I am a career technologist turned serial entrepreneur and investor. I’m completely fervent and passionate about business ideas and deals, especially if they involve social impact. I’m co-founder, funder and advisor of several Austin and Barcelona based technology companies and an investor in Real Estate and CPG ventures. Verdtek, a technology adoption company, was my first entrepreneurial foray. I’m a citizen of the USA, but my native roots are in Mexico City where I was born and lived until the age of 16. I have an amazing son and daughter that grew up learning the entrepreneurial ropes of life and social impact. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for family and friends.

I am Chief Troublemaker for Magnify Impact – a corporate responsibility firm that develops social impact strategies to supercharge companies worldwide. I'm also COO at READY Sport Global, where we help sports organizations work at the intersection of sport, technology, and impact. I co-wrote an Amazon best-selling book, Magnify Your Impact: Powering Profit with Purpose, published by Forbes-Advantage. Previously, I founded a sustainable international NGO providing microcredit loans for women in Peru. As a former (and very intense) NCAA Division I soccer player, I enjoy rowdy fútbol games and celebrating goals all over the world. My greatest role is as a sibling to seven and “cool aunt and mentor” to my two bonus kids and 27+ nieces and nephews.

Our Framework

Embrace the Future: Innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about people, vision, and the courage to build what’s next. We believe AI, quantum computing, and emerging technologies aren’t just shaping the future; they’re unlocking new ways to connect, create, and solve real-world challenges. Whether it’s redefining human interaction with AI-powered avatars, revolutionizing industries with predictive intelligence, or backing founders who see beyond the horizon, we’re here to fuel bold ideas. We seek out those who aren’t just adapting to change but driving it, like our work with Portalis.ai, Verdtek, Ready Sport Global and Magnify —turning breakthroughs into impact and ambition into reality.

Make it Happen: Take the steps to build your dreams and ideas into real tangible next steps. Hope is powerful, but action must be planted alongside it. When we see people doing their work to build what they believe in, we help them by putting more fuel on their vision, mentoring them to take the first steps, and making critical personal connections to help them soar.

Find Joy: Live the life you want by doing things that bring you joy – after all, we’ve got a precious life to live. We are attracted to those people on every level of life who aren’t complaining or naysaying but blazing a trail with grit and a smile. These people come in all shapes, shades, sizes, and professions – and we are lit up when we encounter them! 

Be Authentic: Bring your one-of-a-kind strengths to the table—those special skills, talents, and connections that make you, well, you. We love swapping stories, sharing know-how, and lifting each other up. It’s how we roll in our friendships, partnerships, and investments.

Be Approachable: Stay real, stay open. We believe in genuine connections built on trust, respect, and a shared desire for success. There’s no need for ego or power plays—just a commitment to lifting each other up. We value relationships over transactions and seek out those who bring positivity, collaboration, and a spirit of generosity. The best work happens when people show up as their authentic selves, ready to create, learn, and grow together.

Make a Difference: Think about the mark you’ll leave behind. What’s your story going to be in 100 years? Maybe it’s raising a family, building something big, caring for others, or sparking ideas that shake things up.

How We Work

It’s simple. We meet people all over the world through everyday experiences. So – get in touch with us. We’d love to hear specifically how you fit in with our framework above. While we personally love to make new friends, Diez Ventures is geared primarily toward uplifting and fueling impassioned entrepreneurs who either seeding solid ideas and/or growing their companies rapidly. We also love to make connections for established companies who want infusions of time, talent, energy, and capital to invigorate progress and impact.

Since relationships are the core of everything we do, we’ll want to get to know you a bit more than a business deck (although please send those if applicable). Our process is personal and organic.

Our investments may be time, talent, and/or treasure. Meaning, we may share ideas, advice, mentorships, connections, networks, and/or even investment. Perhaps even all of the above.

We are real — seeking really cool ideas and people. This is a connection that you can't set a price on. Depending on where our relationship goes together, we’ll decide together what win-win looks like later down the line.
