About the Founder
Abel Acuña
Founder · IRL Marketing
Abel's career has moved between three worlds that rarely overlap: national security, high-growth technology, and visual storytelling. He holds a B.A. in Government from Harvard University and is a graduate of The Hotchkiss School, with a background in political science and the visual arts.
At Vanta in San Francisco, Abel scaled ARR from $10M to $50M in 18 months. At The Amherst Group in Austin, TX ($16.4B AUM, 47,000 assets), he helped launch Bungalo Homes and Main Street Renewal. As an international tech co-founder and an early GTM leader at KakaoTalk & Vanta, he has launched new products and helped business units reach their first 100k customers or $50M in new sales.
Behind the camera, Abel shoots on Sony cinema cameras and flies as an FAA-certified commercial drone pilot. He's an active creator with 2k+ YouTube subscribers, 4k+ Instagram followers, and reels that consistently clear 100,000 views.
