Hands-on services that take founders from raw idea to launched product — strategy, build, and go-to-market support for early-stage startups.
Visit Startupp.aiDuPont Ventures is the firm behind a portfolio of operating companies — and the home for a few high-leverage services I offer directly to founders and teams.
Each company solves a distinct problem for a distinct market. Together they share one engine: applied AI and software built to run a real business.

AI implementation and marketing systems for Spanish-speaking businesses across LATAM and the southern United States.
Visit Lumina Consulting GroupBeyond the portfolio, I take on a small number of high-leverage engagements directly — where deep technical ownership is the whole point.
Software systems and technical backing for entrepreneurs with strong ideas but no technical co-founder. I architect, build, and stand behind the product.
Senior technical leadership without the full-time hire — architecture, hiring, roadmap, and engineering execution for funded startups and scaling teams.
Design and run technical hiring loops that actually predict performance — rubrics, question banks, calibration, and interviewer training.
Some needs are best served by one of the operating companies. Tell me what you need and I'll point you to the right team.
Validation, MVP scoping, and a launched product for early-stage founders.
Replace your scattered CRM, project, and automation tools with one platform.
Bilingual AI implementation and marketing systems for Spanish-speaking markets.
Whether it's a portfolio company or a direct engagement, the method is the same: start from the business, build pragmatically, and own the outcome.
I start with the business, not the tech — understanding the model, constraints, and the real bottleneck before a line of code is written.
A pragmatic system design that fits the stage: lean enough to ship fast, structured enough to scale when it works.
Working software in weeks, not quarters. Applied AI where it earns its place, conventional engineering everywhere else.
Ongoing technical ownership — or a clean handoff to your team. Either way, the system is built to outlast the engagement.
I'm Renzo DuPont. I build software companies and the AI systems that power them — then I run them.
DuPont Ventures is how I structure that work: a parent firm over a portfolio of operating companies, each one a real business with real customers. I'm not a passive investor — I'm the founder, architect, and technical partner behind what we build.
When I'm not building inside the portfolio, I take on a handful of direct engagements: standing in as a fractional CTO, partnering technically with founders who have the vision but not the engineer, and helping teams hire technical talent that actually performs.
Whether you need a technical partner, a fractional CTO, or the right company in the portfolio, the conversation starts in the same place.
