Alejandro Cremades
CoFounder & Executive Chairman at Onevest
In 2010, Cremades founded with Tanya Prive, Onevest (formerly RockThePost) where they operate products that support founder, investors and advisors in early stage companies. After one year of development they were able to launch to the public on November 23, 2011. In less than a year, the company was already mentioned by TIME as one of the best platforms in the world, also as one of the top 10 digital tools for entrepreneurs by Forbes and as one of the hottest startups to watch by Business Insider.
Cremades joined officially as CEO of Onevest on May 1, 2012. Prior to Onevest, Cremades worked as a lawyer at King & Spalding where he was involved in one of the biggest investment arbitration cases in history which was Chevron v. Ecuador ($113 billion at stake).
Cremades is an active speaker and has given guest lectures at the Wharton School of Business and at NYU Stern School of Business. Cremades was ranked number one on Vanity Fair’s 30 Under 30 for 2014, in the Top 30 under 30 list of Entrepreneur Magazine (Spanish version), as well as GQ’s Top 33 Under 33.
Cremades is the author of The Art of Startup Fundraising. With a foreword by Barbara Corcoran, and published by John Wiley & Sons, The Art of Startup Fundraising takes a fresh look at raising money for startups. Raising capital is an art. Every single ingredient needs to be perfectly balanced in the process in order to secure capital successfully.
Specialties: startups, startup investing, fundraising, angel investing, crowdfunding, equity crowdfunding, recruiting, strategy, business development, legal, crowdsourcing, team building, marketing, entrepreneurship, innovation.

Tenacious. Ambitious. Passionate. I get things done. There’s never an excuse for missing the mark in my professional universe. If someone says “we can’t”, I get us to “we can.” I never identify a problem without offering 10 solutions, and I love finding the answer that takes us to the next level.
An eclectic portfolio in startups, non-profits, government, and education has molded me into a bonafide jill of all trades. I facilitate success for my clients and my company through excellent customer service, obsessive attention to detail, leading by example, and sparkling wit.
I want to change the way we work. I spend my day identifying how best to enhance our brand new collaborative workspace in SF’s Central Market district; how to invigorate the local business community; and supporting the dreams of over 300 inspiring entrepreneurs.
