Our Team

Daniel Mateos (Co-Founder and CEO)

Daniel comes from the financial markets world. Were it not because he was fired in 2010 -maybe because you were betting too much at work hours, Dani? – he wouldn’t have switched stocks for bets. For that reason Dani says “I will always be gratefull to my ex-boss”. From 2010 Dani has been a Tennis PRO Tipster. This was the main motivation to create this project. He reasons that if he’s been able to make a living as a Professional Tipster, why not look for sports experts worldwide and offer them the ability to become PROs like him? Dani loves Tennis and Football. He is a Real Madrid member and also supports Real Sociedad de San Sebastián. He is responsible for the management of Pyckio, Contents, Finance, Marketing, office sweeping… you know all the work that has to be done in an internet startup.

Fernando Montero (Co-Founder & CTO)

Fernando is responsible for all the Pyckio Technology, so you already know who to blame when the website isn’t working ;-). Fernando left the firm he was working for as a senior developer in order to create Pyckio with Dani. What a better job than one that combines his 2 passions, Technology and Betting? Fernando has been betting since many years ago. He even had his own Tipsters portfolio, Dani included. Now he is unable to place so many bets because Pyckio takes up all his time. He loves Tennis, is an unconditional fan of Rafa Nadal and his favourite WTA Tennis players are Ivanovic and Sharapova. We wonder why…
