Julieta Porta

My philosophy: I operate with a "Burn the Boats" mindset—a strategy famously attributed to historical leaders like Hernán Cortés and Alexander the Great. Upon reaching new, challenging shores, they ordered their own ships destroyed. The message to their men was clear: There is no going back. We either succeed, or we do not return.

Currently serving as Co-founder and CEO of SphereBio Technologies, a bioplatform startup developing innovations that amplify the power of existing therapies to kill cancer cells.

I lead a team of passionate researchers, including my exceptional co-founders: Guido Molina, a Ph.D. Virologist and Immunologist , and Martín Guerrero, a Physician-Scientist with an M.D. and a Ph.D. in Machine Learning applied to cancer genomics. Together, we combine deep scientific rigor with advanced computational power.

As a deep-tech entrepreneur, I focus on strategy, execution, and finance. Our team was accelerated by MIT IDEA2 and is supported by scientists from Harvard-affiliated institutions, validating our commitment to improving global health. I am motivated by the opportunity to make a positive impact on society and constantly seek to learn from diverse perspectives.

On a personal level, I love reading, practicing yoga, talking to people, and exploring new cultures and countries.
