Gabriel Žanko Mendoza 

Visionary | Tech Advisor | Founder | Mentor | CEO at Urano Kapital & LIFE3 | Venture Capital & Hedge Fund Strategies | Deep Tech | Energy | Music | Research | Decentralization

With over 20 years of experience spanning finance, telecommunications, technology, and music, I have worked alongside global corporations and pioneering ventures reshaping industries. My career is centered on driving strategic growth, investment, and societal impact through innovative technologies.

Born in Caracas, Venezuela, my journey began in audit and finance at PwC Venezuela and Espiñeira Sheldon Asociados, where I gained early experience working with CANTV, Venezuela's largest telecom company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. This foundation led to roles at Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks, where I transitioned into the telecom and technology sectors.

These experiences catalyzed the creation of LIFE3 and Urano Kapital, two ventures that define my entrepreneurial vision:

LIFE3 (formerly MobileyourLife)
LIFE3 is a global Deep Tech investment banking firm focused on raising capital for complex technologies, accelerating green energy transition, and providing valuation modeling, market development, research advisory, and incubation services. We work on radical technologies such as green hydrogen, solar energy, and space exploration to drive global innovation.

Urano Kapital
Currently in its Strategic Development Phase, Urano Kapital is positioning itself as a family of funds that combines Venture Capital, Hedge Fund, and Private Equity strategies. We focus on Deep Tech sectors such as green hydrogen, solar, space exploration, and advanced materials, with the mission of empowering society through innovative technologies.

Both ventures have allowed me to collaborate with global startups, scientists, and investors, shaping the future of sustainable tech and deep tech innovation.

Outside of work, I am a musician skilled in piano, bass, Latin percussion, and Salsa singing, and I practice martial arts (jiu jitsu and boxing), meditation, and Stoicism (focused on Seneca).

I’m always open to connecting with individuals who share a passion for technology, innovation, and societal change. Let’s discuss how I can contribute to your organization's growth and innovation.
