Startups & Projects
Luis Calvillo builds community-driven apps focused on discovery and real-world experiences.
My previous app, ShredSpots, helped skaters find new places to skate and grew to over 100K downloads before being acquired.
He is currently building WhattaEat, a social food discovery platform where people decide what to eat through short-form videos and local recommendations.
Luis also created the App Canvas, a framework to increase an app's success rate by improving retention.
