Eddie Aguilar
On a normal day.
Always on the run.
Somewhere downtown; in, out and around the City. Armed with cheap sunglasses, headphones and an inquisitive mind; you'll find me taking pictures of buildings, food, and anything that I find interesting. It's my way of collecting material to later mold and synthesize into new concepts.
The "Story" in a Nutshell
Born in Los Angeles, lived in Monterey for a while and now living and working in San Francisco. First generation Latino to do anything and wanting to do everything. My passion for business started young before I even knew what business was. It was further fueled after seeing my mother survive cancer and starting her own small business. That experience made me understand the importance of time and opportunity. Up to this point it has been trial and error, testing and refining what makes businesses work.
How I Live Life
Like most, one day at a time; constantly checking my watch living it in ever smaller increments. Subscribing to the philosophy of minimalism and experiential wealth. A pragmatic and enthusiastic dreamer always looking for more knowledge and ways to create new ventures.
My Professional Development
Graduated in 2014 with a B.S. in Business Administration emphasis on Entrepreneurship and a minor in Pre-Law.
Worked and exposed to the following fields:
- Banking & Financial Services

- Small Businesses
- Architectural & Engineering Services
- Small Business Consulting
- Video Production Services

- I.T. Services
- Early Stage Technology Startups
Currently I am working in San Francisco as a Preferred Banker for First Republic, now part of JPMorgan Chase & Co., cultivating personal and business relationships. You'll find me attending startup and hackathon events for fun and diving into meetups exploring new venture ideas figuring out what makes businesses successful.
On my off-time I like to travel and explore California's costal hiking spots and sharpen my cooking skills. At night you will most likely see me catch a live band playing at a small intimate venue and taking pictures.
