After his son was diagnosed with a rare disease which was caused by a mutation in his DNA, Daniel Uribe was inspired to create Genobank.io. He enlisted in the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and was one of the 6% alumni elected to attend this school. He learned that most DNA companies were taking ownership of their client’s data and that is why he created something new that would not sell his son’s unique data to big Pharma companies. Born and raised in Mexico City, Daniel is now the first Latin American to be certified in his niche and is an inspiration to all Latinos. He is paving the way for others to grow and succeed in Silicon Valley and around the world. 

Growing up, Willy moved from home to home. The son of a hard working immigrant mother doing her best for her children, Willy moved to Sonoma County at the age of 13 to attend Hanna Boys Center, a residential treatment center for lives of at-risk teens. “Hanna’s stable environment afforded Willy the opportunity to thrive and set a strong course for his future. He went on to earn his BA from Sacramento State University, Master of Arts from the University of San Francisco, and MBA from Ashford University”. Willy has worked with the Sacramento Kings and has served as Regent Board Member at Hanna Boys Center. Willy’s resilience and steadfast commitment to giving back has undoubtedly been shaped by the adversity he experienced in life.
