Founder and Managing Partner

# Joaquim Miro

Founder and Managing Partner of Regenerate Capital. Operator, investor, and the person who answers when you call.

Joaquim Miro is a Canadian entrepreneur and investor based in the Eastern Townships of Québec. He co-founded MLG Blockchain, TrustSwap, Alpaca Network and Gatewayz.ai, is a Founding Partner of GDA Capital with 70+ companies backed, and founded Regenerate Capital in 2026.

I’ve built companies from 75+ countries, and I’ve made most of the mistakes a founder can make. That’s the experience I bring to your company.

I started at L’Oréal Canada, leading an 8-figure brand launch. Then I jumped into startups and never looked back: co-founder and COO at MLG Blockchain, CMO at TrustSwap, CEO at Alpaca Network, Founding Partner at GDA Capital, co-founder of Gatewayz.ai.

Today I run Regenerate Capital from the Eastern Townships. I’m a father, a Spartan racer, a paraglider, a pianist and a decent cook. I speak English, French and Spanish.

What I believe

## Growth that lasts.

The idea is rarely the problem. Founders fail because they run out of team, distribution or energy. I focus on all three.

If nobody can find you, nothing else matters. Distribution is the bottleneck of this decade, and it’s the part I enjoy most.

Great companies need founders who last. I’ve seen too many founders trade their health and family for growth. It’s a bad deal, and it’s unnecessary.

Where I help most

## The work I love.

01

### Distribution: SEO and GEO

Get found on Google and in AI answers: technical SEO, structured data, citation-worthy pages and a monthly tracking routine. If nobody can find you, nothing else matters.

**Experience** · Built The Alternative Ways to 1M+ monthly views. #1 on Google worldwide for “blockchain consulting”.

02

### Talent and team building

Hiring plans, recruiting pipelines, onboarding and the HR foundations you need before you need them.

**Experience** · Scaled MLG Blockchain from 4 to 120 employees in 9 months. Built the HR function at Secure Digital Markets as it grew from 9 to 40.

03

### Introductions to capital

Fundraising readiness, investor mapping and warm introductions to angels, funds and family offices. Plus help structuring the round.

**Experience** · Backed 70+ companies as a founding partner of GDA Capital, including 2 seed-to-unicorn outcomes. Alpaca Network raised $1.2M in 2 weeks. LP at Holt Xchange.

04

### Founder coaching

One-on-one coaching on clarity, energy, decisions and life design, so the person running the company keeps growing too.

**Experience** · Certified life coach who works with founders and executives on mindset, energy and alignment.

Seats I’ve held

## Every seat at the table.

### COO

### Scaling remote-first companies

High-performing distributed teams across time zones, without losing culture.

Growing fast without trading away your health, family or integrity.

### The future of AI-run companies
