Philosophaster / Random Manager 2021 Ventures´ planeation in 12
industries
ABOUT ME
Leader, aspirant inventor, researcher, philosophaster, strategist, organizations
manager, resources manager, knowledge manager, and ex-serial entrepreneur
with 18 years of proven experience in 6 forms of entrepreneurship: (informal,
commercial, business, cultural, digital and corporate) and 6 bankruptcies in 4
industries: (textile, fashion, direct sales and digital entertainment). Conaltex
SAC, Zomnius, and Trendy LAB SAS entered into bankruptcy due to problems
between the shareholders, Abatex LTDA and Tiendas Wonka SAS - due to the
cost of capital and the working capital which was needed when we invested in 4
brands of textile products. In Capella Games, we rented casual VR experiences
in malls and we had to close due to the pandemic.

As an entrepreneur, I am assuming the challenge of becoming a parallel


entrepreneur with Volmand: the startup studio #4 in Colombia, and the first
focused on patent´s projects - hybridizing 6 forms of entrepreneurship:
(scientific, technological, digital, academic, corporate, and parallel).

At Volmand I am planning projects in 12 industries: (waste management, e-


commerce, gov-tech, fin-tech, agri-tech, digital entertainment, renewable
energy, textile, fashion, entertainment with hydration, direct selling, and
nutrition.)

- As a leisure human, I love mountain bike - particularly Downhill. I also would


love to practice other type of sports like surf, windsurf, kitesurf and seadiving
and mototrial.
ABOUT ME
As a brand strategist I have created 26 brands: (Add Store, Abatex, Wonka,
Conaltex, SOPDI, Fishbone, Another Stupid Brand, Zettabyte, Mop Top,
Asperger, Regular ¾, Zaratustra, Capella, Trendy Lab, Bitruvio, Zomnius, Bump
Data System, Volmand, Sociemy, Scraptus, Equilium, Win Kash, Wiskrunch,
Zenterbal, Passionise, Froztels.)

As a knowledge manager, I have created a working model based on the match


of people, organizations, and capital investors, in which projects are classified
into 4 categories: (research, assets, products, and operations). This model is
supported by a patent draft.

As a researcher I have carried out ethnographic, market research, technological


vigilance for patent searches, competitive vigilance, commercial vigilance,
competitive intelligence, technological forecasting, technological prospect,
research in free peer-reviewed journals, research on trend analysis on the
internet: (digital coolhunting and digital ethnography), surveys, prototype
testing, expert reviews, among others...

As a leader and philosophaster, I am iterating the possibility of leading societies


managers under the Regular ¾ philosophy and researchers under the
hermeneutical reductionism philosophy. Opportunity catchers, venture
enthusiasts, problem solvers, financial capital investors, and organizations with
Volmand.

As an “artist” I love the guitar, drums, harmonica, violin, trumpets, but I only
learned to play a few of electric guitar.

Industries of Patents Industries with Ventures Being
Experience Drafts. Detected Created

BANKRUPTICIES
The first bankruptcy occurred in the Peruvian textile industry
with the company Conaltex SAC. The cause was due to high
investments in R&D and an inappropriate financing model
with a working capital of almost 10 months for its main client:
Abatex LTDA - when looking for a way to innovate by
manufacturing high quality fabrics such as ecological cotton.

The second occurred in the Colombian textile industry with


the company Abatex LTDA. The cause was due to high
investments in R&D and an inappropriate financing model
between the payment to creditors of financial capital, to
Conaltex SAC, suppliers from Colombia and the rotation of
inventories.

The third was in the fashion industry with Tiendas Wonka


SAS. The company was left without current assets, as it relied
on Abatex inventory for retail sales and investments in the
positioning of non-current assets, such as the portfolio of
brands that were presented in Colombiamoda 2011 and 2012.
Colombiamoda is the most important fashion event in
Colombia.
BANKRUPTICIES
The fourth occurred in the direct sales industry, with the failed
corporate entrepreneurship model that was attempted with the
company Aritex De Colombia S.A. This model used the non-
current assets that remained of Abatex LTDA and Tiendas
Wonka SAS, such as customer databases and the brands
Wonka, Fishbone, Regular ¾ and Another Stupid Brand.

The fifth was in the digital entertainment industry, with virtual


reality headsets. The brand used for this initiative was
Zomnius and it failed because the participation agreements
between the founders were not made; which subsequently
made us unable to agree when we tried to expand after the
success of the first and second prototypes.

The sixth was in the digital entertainment industry with virtual


reality headsets and immersive technologies for interactive
games. The failure was caused due to traffic in the malls fall
during pandemics and the headsets transmit the virus.
