My name is Nicolás Giraudo, and I have spent more than a decade inside the world of automation and robotics hardware: leading technical sales teams, validating motion-control solutions, and guiding products from prototype to profitability. Along the way I have watched too many gifted engineers pour their hearts, savings, and sleepless nights into brilliant ideas that never reached their market potential. The lessons drawn from those experiences enabled everything we do at Torquety.
Reasons to exist
Our mission is simple: help fearless technical founders avoid preventable failures. We channel hard-won experience to stress-test technology early, craft pragmatic go-to-market plans, and secure the lighthouse customers that prove commercial value. When talented teams focus on building what customers need instead of guessing, innovation gets adopted and fewer dreams are broken.
Our values
Commitment, loyalty and grit guide every decision we make, and we expect the same attitude from every founder, advisor, and investor who joins our ecosystem.
Building an ecosystem of shared mastery
Great companies are rarely solo acts. We are assembling a network of seasoned specialists (control-system architects, manufacturing strategists, regulatory experts, and growth operators) who share our conviction that promising hardware founders deserve every advantage. If you have deep domain knowledge and a genuine desire to pay it forward, we invite you to lend your expertise where it matters most. The idea of working for one company only for a long period of time is antiquated and frankly speaking wrong. Without a lot of effort and time, a seasoned expert can translate learnings across markets, industries and products.
Bridging investors and validated opportunity
Hardware can feel like dark matter to many investors: capital-intensive, opaque, and risky. Torquety acts as your sector-specialized lens. Every startup we champion has passed a dual filter, commercially sound and technically feasible. By the time a company reaches your desk, it has already benefited from our hands-on guidance, transparent milestones, and market-tested traction, reducing technical unknowns and accelerating its path to scale.
The road ahead
We envision a robust, interconnected community where founders gain tactical wisdom before costly pivots, our professionals amplify their impact beyond their own companies, and capital moves confidently into ventures ready to transform their industries.
If this purpose resonates with you, whether as innovator, advisor, or investor, please reach out.

Founder and Managing Partner, Torquety.
