Eduardo Fernandez

Eduardo Fernández is a Spanish technology founder best known for creating ShuttleCloud, the email- and contacts-migration platform that powers data import for some of the largest email providers in the world. He grew up in Madrid — the son of two philosophy teachers — and moved to the United States for graduate school. He holds a Master's in Information Technology & Management from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a Bachelor's and Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Before founding his own company he worked in business development and IT roles (including at Comarch), and briefly held a sales job at a mid-sized tech company in the US — an experience that left him "restless" and wanting more freedom.

He founded ShuttleCloud in 2010, famously incorporating it for about $50 while on a student visa. The company went through the Techstars NYC accelerator and is backed by investors including Third Kind Venture Capital and SV Angel, raising roughly $1.9M total. ShuttleCloud grew into the migration engine behind Gmail/Google Contacts and worked with providers such as Google, Yahoo, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and institutions like Harvard — moving millions of contacts and tens of millions of emails per day. Eduardo served as CEO before stepping back into a product- and engineering-focused supporting role as the company matured.

Beyond ShuttleCloud, he has co-founded a cluster of related ventures — Email Meter (email-analytics SaaS, where he is President), Cloudasta, and Emailpref — and is more recently associated with a venture called High Frontier. Operating across the NYC and Madrid startup ecosystems, he has become an active mentor and angel-stage supporter of founders, appearing as a mentor with programs such as VentureOut and the Spanish/US startup-accelerator community. His personal mantra — *"Be free, keep learning, and make an impact"* — reflects the operating philosophy he brings to both his companies and the founders he backs.

• Invests and advises at the seed / early stage, typically as an individual angel and hands-on mentor rather than through an institutional fund.
• Gravitates toward areas he has operated in himself: SaaS, data migration/integration, email and productivity tooling, and developer-facing infrastructure.
• Brings a strong bootstrapping / capital-efficiency bias — he built ShuttleCloud from a $50 incorporation into a profitable, recurring-revenue business serving enterprise clients before raising venture money.
• Values founder autonomy and resilience; his stated philosophy ("be free, keep learning, make an impact") and his own path suggest he responds to founders who prize freedom, durability, and real customer traction over hype.
• Comfortable across the US (NYC) and Spanish ecosystems, having built and mentored companies in both.
