GTM AI Engineering • Data Intelligence • Web3 & Fintech

David Riascos

Learning by doing. Mostly doing.

Seven years in Web3 business development. Now I build AI-assisted tools that find, collect, and analyze data to spot growth opportunities.

I’m at my best in BD and partnerships, building products, and making sense of data.

I bring the business problem. AI helps with the syntax.

$330K+ revenue closed in 7 months at Nethermind
1,100+ LatAm fintechs mapped across 24 fields
50+ partnerships at Celo across 10+ countries

Most of my tools follow one loop

Find data → structure it → spot signals and patterns → analyze them → turn the insight into something useful.

Things I’ve built

Some I use at work. Some I built to learn.

OSINT lead intelligence · Nethermind

GitHub Radar

Uses OSINT (open-source intelligence) on public GitHub activity to find crypto projects that may need an audit soon. It scores the signals, checks who audited them before, and shows which contributors connect them to existing clients.

Started in n8n to test the idea, then rebuilt in Python once it proved useful. Cold-outreach reply rate went from 13% to 21%.

Market mapping

LatAm Fintech Intelligence

A dataset of 1,100+ Latin American fintech companies, enriched across 24 fields, with ~90% website and ~78% news coverage.

Used for market sizing, segmentation, and deciding which accounts to prioritize.

Relationship intelligence In design

Telegram CRM Sensor

A lot of Web3 relationships live in Telegram groups. This bot watches those groups and flags when a client or partner may need a follow-up.

The goal is fewer forgotten follow-ups, with no extra CRM to update by hand.

Infrastructure

davidagent

A small Ubuntu server I can reach from anywhere through Tailscale. It runs Claude-powered tasks on a schedule and sends the results to Telegram.

Pending Agreements Bot

A Telegram bot that keeps an agreement between two people visible until both confirm it’s done.

What I measure: how many agreements get completed instead of forgotten.

  • Python
  • SQLite
  • Telegram API
  • Scheduled jobs

Real-time monitoring

Earthquake Radar

Checks Colombia’s geological service for new earthquakes, uses HTTP caching to avoid repeat requests, and measures how fast the alert arrives.

Not about sales, but it uses the same loop as my GTM tools.

  • Python
  • HTTP ETags
  • Alerting

AI builder with a commercial background.

I use the scientific method at work. I use several AI models to check my reasoning, and I read the code before I trust it.

01

Problem and hypothesis

Describe the business problem and a guess I can test.

02

Test with an MVP

The smallest version that tests it, built with an LLM or a tool like n8n.

03

Replicate or iterate

If the results hold, I build it properly in Python. If not, I iterate.

Where I’ve worked

Business development and partnerships in security, DeFi, and financial inclusion.

Nethermind

Jun 2025 – Present

Product & Business Development — AI and Web3 Security

  • Built the GTM for AI-assisted security products: ICP, market sizing, pilots, and product feedback.
  • Built GitHub Radar, an OSINT tool that finds buying signals in public development activity. Cold-outreach reply rate went from 13% to 21%.
  • Qualified and engaged protocols and infrastructure teams, led commercial talks, and closed $330K+ in revenue in 7 months.
  • Worked with Technical Managers and Legal to streamline onboarding, contracts, and handoffs.

May 2020 – Jul 2022

Ecosystem Lead, Partnerships & Growth

Ecosystem growth across 10+ countries: 50+ partnerships, 600+ startups mapped, and support for stablecoin and DeFi use cases.

I studied psychology. It still shapes how I think about trust, incentives, and why people adopt things.

Let’s talk.

I’m open to GTM AI engineering, data intelligence, and growth roles in Web3 and fintech.
