Tarek Waked
Co-Founder
Tarek began his professional journey as a licensed financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. Eventually, he found his way back to Latin America, where he embraced the tech scene as a founder, investor, and mentor to numerous startups through an incubator he established.
In 2019, Tarek returned to the United States with a passion for investing in early-stage startups. It wasn't long before he spotted a massive opportunity in Space, which led him to become a co-founder of Type One Ventures. He saw the incredible potential in the increasing number of satellites, driven by lower launch costs and commercialization of components.
Today, Tarek sits on the board of Argo Space.
“Working in venture allows me to do what I feel I am best at and what I am passionate about. I’ve always been a firm believer in pursuing your passions so if I can help others do the same then I’ve done what I wish with my time on this earth.”
