About

Nahuel Candia (Denis Nahuel Candia) is the Founder and CEO of Rebill (rebill.com), the leading payment infrastructure platform powering the next generation of high-growth companies across Latin America. Rebill was accelerated by Y Combinator in its Winter 2022 batch, recognized as the fastest-growing company by Startup Chile, and has raised $3.7M backed by leading global investors such as Tiger Global, SV Angel, SOMA Capital, Magma Partners, Rally Capital, Guillermo Rauch (founder of Vercel), and Arash Ferdowsi (founder of Dropbox). The company has been featured by TechCrunch, Bloomberg, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Infobae, among others.

Nahuel began programming at 14 years old, became a regional finalist of the Microsoft Imagine Cup at 15, and received recognition from Microsoft as a Student Partner that same year. At 19, he founded his first startup, Shovel Apps Inc., known as “the WordPress for mobile apps,” which was accelerated by MANOS Accelerator in San Francisco. Later, he served as CTO of Ando.la, a last-mile logistics company in Argentina focused on sustainable delivery, which was later acquired by Moova, a regional logistics company operating across Latin America.

Throughout his career, Nahuel has evolved from web developer to mobile, backend, and infrastructure engineer, building expertise across the full technology stack. He has worked with public and private companies in Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America.

Prior to settling permanently in Miami, Florida, he lived in Berlin and London, where he was granted the UK Startup Visa, a selective residency program awarded to founders recognized for their potential to build innovative, high-impact businesses in the United Kingdom. He was then approved for the EB-1A immigrant visa (talent based permanent residency), one of the most demanding categories in the U.S. immigration system, reserved for individuals with extraordinary ability and internationally recognized achievements.

Nahuel completed the Disciplined Entrepreneurship and New Ventures program by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in its first-ever edition held outside Boston, in Seoul, South Korea. From a pool of over 4,000 applicants, only 70 participants were selected from more than 50 countries worldwide. He also served as a mentor for MIT’s Entrepreneurship program.

A passionate traveler and technology enthusiast, Nahuel has explored over 20 cities around the world and is deeply interested in hospitality, software, SaaS, gadgets, finance, and above all, physics and aerospace engineering. Outside of work, he continues to advise and invest in early-stage companies while exploring new ideas at the intersection of software, payments, and global innovation.
