Who you are
working with

Nicolás Jaramillo


I've spent 12 years in the trenches of global financial markets and now I'm putting that expertise to work for startups and SMEs.


Helping companies become investment-ready and successfully close transactions, so that founders/CEOs can focus on their business with peace of mind.

I integrate as a key member of the team to take the lead in achieving their goal—whether it’s fundraising, acquisitions, debt, or exits. In some cases, my role begins as a broader engagement to set the stage for success and maximize value.


Real value added—I've been on the other side

A former investor and lender involved in 15+ transactions throughout my career, totaling USD 300+ million.

I've seen companies succeed and fail while at a USD 1.2 billion private equity fund, at the IFC (World Bank Group), and as a banker involved in M&A and debt at Rabobank.

Paramo is mostly a brand (but don't tell anyone). In practice, you'll be working directly with me as an integrated part of your team. The format is a part-time role, with flexible end date—that's the meaning of the term 'Fractional'
