"I have had the pleasure of working alongside Jose for the same Investors/Venture Studio, where we both served as founders of portfolio companies. Jose consistently demonstrated a passion for delivering exceptional products to his customers and is someone that I looked up to as a founder. Jose’s collaborative approach to problem-solving allows him to be a people leader. He is able to execute on strategy intuitively and also rally the troops behind his vision, which is a true master-class skill at an early stage B2B SaaS company. I highly recommend Jose as a visionary leader and would be honored to work with him again in the future. His expertise in building technology and having a strong background in multiple industries, such as property technology, oil & gas, crypto, and real estate, give him an unfair advantage maximize returns for his investors. Bet on him."

Jose was one of my clients at Sourcewater. Well before he ever became a client, we spent many hours networking, running into each other at industry events, and collaborating during brainstorming sessions about where the oilfield water market was going. Jose stands apart in the oilfield as a forward-thinking thought leader who pushed the industry forward. He was exceptionally open to new ideas, intensely collaborative, and was true to his word. Jose was always willing to lend a helping hand, extend needed advice, and willing to make introductions to his network without asking for anything in exchange. For example, there were many occasions where Jose spent many hours with me and my team while we were building Sourcewater simply to help us evolve our product. He went out of his way to be helpful and consistently looked for ways to collaborate. I would gladly work with Jose again in any venture or industry and recommend him to anyone looking to collaborate with an overall good human being."
