Nico Ferreyra

I’m the cofounder and CEO of Default. I was born in Cordoba, Argentina before my parents moved us to the United States. I live in New York.

My cofounder Victor and I started our first software business together in 2018 while we were in college, selling software to old-school parking companies.

It turns out we liked building software more than we liked going to class, so we left a few months before graduating to move to San Francisco. I spent the following two years living in a hacker house with a group of founder friends I met on Twitter and Clubhouse.

We started Default a few months later with the vision of building software to help companies grow better and faster. We’re backed by 8VC, Craft, BoxGroup, base case, and others.

I’m a huge believer in finding and nurturing undiscovered talent before anyone else does, and am lucky to be a small supporter of a few cool companies including: Wander, Anduril, Bland, Equals, Azura, Runway, Integral, Delphi, Varda, Doss, and Browserbase.
