How Eleva Builds Is Giving Latin America’s Entrepreneurs a Global Edge with AI

CEO Times Contributor

Born in Ecuador, built for the world—Eleva empowers ambitious founders with elite AI that levels the global playing field.

They Didn’t Have a Valley — So They Built Their Own Launchpad

In the shadows of Silicon Valley, two Ecuadorian founders quietly ignited a revolution. Not with billion-dollar venture rounds or media hype—but with a laptop, a relentless vision, and an unwavering belief that small businesses across Latin America deserved more than generic tools and broken promises.

Mathias Alejandro Suárez Bertero and Christian Furlan didn’t wait for the tech world to discover Latin America. They built something for it. And in doing so, they may have created the most important AI-powered sales platform you’ve never heard of—Eleva Builds.

Their goal? To give underdog entrepreneurs across the region the exact same AI firepower that Fortune 500s use to dominate markets—only tailored, affordable, and radically human.

“We’re the slingshot that turns David companies into Goliath companies,” says Suárez. “That’s what Eleva was born to do.”

This isn’t just a software story. This is the story of a new era—where Latin American ambition meets global potential, powered by elegant automation and unshakable support.

A Homegrown Answer to Global Frustrations

For years, small and mid-sized businesses in Latin America have faced the same uphill battle: underfunded, under-resourced, and overwhelmed by platforms not designed for their reality.

Big CRMs were too bloated. Generic bots didn’t convert. And customer “support” usually meant being directed to a help article written in another language.

Eleva Builds changed that. Co-founders Suárez and Furlan started by building handcrafted AI sales assistants that understood the unique challenges of their region’s entrepreneurs.

Not copy-paste templates. Not mass-market tools.

“We wanted to bring Latin businesses the kind of tech experience usually reserved for the elite—fully tailored, fully supported, and built with precision,” says Furlan.

At its core, Eleva is a premium SaaS platform that uses AI to qualify, nurture, and convert leads through platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook—without needing human intervention. But behind the tech is something rarer: human empathy.

From Bootstrapped Idea to Global Impact

Launched in 2023 from Ecuador, Eleva Builds now powers 60+ companies, has surpassed $6,000 in monthly recurring revenue, and boasts near-perfect retention. Every client gets more than software—they get a support team that listens, adapts, and fine-tunes their sales engine for real outcomes.

That level of service caught international attention.

In 2024, the founders were honored with the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Award by the Consulate of Ecuador in Murcia, Spain—a prestigious nod recognizing their impact on immigrant-led businesses across Europe.

The award wasn’t just symbolic. It confirmed that the Eleva model—deeply personalized, unapologetically premium, and born in the Global South—was a viable blueprint for global business empowerment.

Why Eleva Is More Than Just Another SaaS

In a market flooded with “AI solutions,” Eleva stands out by putting relationships first. The platform itself is powerful, but it’s the experience of working with Eleva that clients rave about.

Instead of clunky onboarding and frustrating support chats, new users are guided by real people who map out their goals, sales flows, and customer journey. The Eleva team then builds a fully custom AI assistant, complete with CRM integration, follow-up logic, and channel optimization.

It’s tech tailored like a Savile Row suit.

“We don’t just build software—we build AI-powered growth engines tailored like Savile Row suits,” says Suárez. “Our goal is simple: to give David-sized businesses the slingshot to become Goliaths.”

And that’s exactly what clients get. With Eleva, they automate lead handling, increase conversions, and free their teams to focus on what matters most: growing the business.

A Vision That’s Bigger Than Latin America

While Eleva Builds started in Ecuador, its ambitions—and reach—are now global.

By designing for Spanish-speaking markets first, the team unlocked a huge, underserved audience of founders across Latin America, Spain, and the United States. As demand for AI-driven tools surges, Eleva has become the go-to partner for entrepreneurs who need more than just automation—they need trust, speed, and transformation.

“It’s not just about AI,” says Furlan. “It’s about building bridges—between humans and machines, between ambition and access.”

Their long-term vision? To become the Salesforce of AI for small businesses—but with a premium, boutique twist. That means continuing to reject one-size-fits-all tools in favor of elegance, empathy, and efficiency.

The New Flagbearers of Latin Innovation

In a world where the tech spotlight rarely shines beyond traditional hubs, Eleva Builds proves that world-class innovation can come from anywhere.

Mathias and Christian are part of a new generation of Latin founders who are not just following the tech playbook—they’re rewriting it. Their story is a rallying cry for other entrepreneurs: You don’t need Silicon Valley’s blessing to build something extraordinary.

You just need vision, execution, and heart.

“We’re not here to be the cheapest,” says Suárez. “We’re here to be the best—because our clients deserve nothing less.”

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever

In 2025, automation is no longer a luxury—it’s survival. But as AI floods the market, business owners face a new problem: choosing the right partner.

Eleva Builds offers something rare in this landscape: precision and partnership. Their systems are not DIY or plug-and-play—they’re architected from the ground up to drive real results.

For startups, agencies, retailers, and service businesses that rely on lead generation and client engagement, Eleva doesn’t just help them automate—it helps them win.

And in a noisy, cluttered digital world, that kind of clarity is priceless.

Ready to Scale Globally, Without Losing Your Soul?

Whether you’re a founder in Quito, Madrid, or Miami, Eleva Builds is ready to equip your business with the tools to scale like a global powerhouse—with the intimacy of a boutique agency and the intelligence of world-class AI.

If you’re tired of half-baked solutions and ready for elite performance backed by real people, it’s time to upgrade. Eleva isn’t software—it’s your secret weapon.
