Aaron Suplizio, Angel Investor

I’m a senior business development executive with over 25 years of experience at the intersection of fintech, investing, payments, and strategic partnerships. As Chief Commercial Officer for Novo, I helped a Series B-funded neobank on its mission of powering the vitally important small businesses that are the bedrock of our economy. Before Novo, I led business development for the "zero-to-one" TBD business at Block, an open source developer platform where we were deploying an innovative, stablecoin-powered payments network focused on the Global South. I’m an active angel investor with a portfolio of over a dozen companies spanning fintech, crypto, and verticalized AI. I'm most excited about startups that expand access to underserved markets or that are exploring practical applications for decentralized technology, especially bitcoin and stablecoins. One of my earliest investments was Figure Technologies (NASDAQ: FIGR), which went public in September 2025 - a milestone that underscores this thesis.
