We’re thrilled to welcome Samantha Cancino to our team!

With a strong background as a Frontend Engineer, Samantha brings over 20 years of experience designing and developing websites and applications - starting from the age of 13. Her early passion for the web grew into a career focused on building scalable applications, optimizing performance, and crafting thoughtful, accessible user experiences.

She studied Agricultural Engineering at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Computer Science at UNED, before taking a more self-directed path, gaining real-world experience and continuously learning through hands-on work and personal projects.

Samantha has collaborated with many professionals and companies across diverse industries. Most notably, at GoStudent, Europe’s EdTech unicorn, she helped scale a high-growth online learning platform connecting students with tutors worldwide. At Docucom, a Swiss leader in digital document process automation, she worked on streamlining complex systems in the finance and insurance sectors.

“I’m excited to be part of FUNDED’s mission to empower visionary founders. It’s refreshing to join a team that’s truly passionate about innovation and impact. I look forward to contributing my skills to help companies grow with clarity and purpose,” Samantha shared.

With Samantha on board, we continue to grow our capacity to support startups not just with funding, but with the holistic tools they need to thrive.
