Máximo Cavazzani, a great Argentine entrepreneur
Máximo Cavazzani, a prominent Argentine entrepreneur, began as a self-taught computer programmer in his adolescence and is the creator of a stock trading app.
This Argentine entrepreneur is known for creating services that anticipate future needs beyond the present.
Máximo Cavazzani holds a degree in software engineering from the Technological Institute of Buenos Aires.
While still a university student, he developed iStockManager, the first free stock trading application. It achieved immediate success and was acquired by the U.S. brokerage firm TD Ameritrade for a sum that could have reached seven figures.
By the age of 22, Máximo had already amassed a fortune.
However, he chose to invest his money in founding Etermax, an international video game development company established in 2009, with offices in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Berlin, and Mexico.
His most popular creations include Preguntados and Apalabrados.

Cavazzani is also a strong advocate for promoting entrepreneurship and encourages political authorities to facilitate it.
iStockManager is a company with a team of over 500 people, a presence in more than 180 countries, and over 800 million downloads worldwide.
On November 3, 2013, Etermax launched Preguntados, a game with similar features to Apalabrados that also achieved great success in the mobile market.
The reception of the game turned it into a multi-platform entertainment franchise with other applications that have garnered over 600 million downloads since their launch date.
In 2021, this entrepreneur was recognized as one of the most influential Argentine CEOs in the Influence 100 Ranking by the consulting firm Horse, where he also ranked in the top 10 in terms of digital influence.
“The future we envision is one of continued growth in all our business units. With a strong focus on game releases, expanding advertising in games, which still has a long way to go, and the potential to keep innovating and harnessing the power of artificial intelligence applied to business,” says Máximo Cavazzani.
