Beta Boom is led by two general partners, Kimmy and Sergio Paluch.
Yes, they share a last name because they are married and have been partners in life and business for over twenty years.
They are both passionate about making the world a better place through technological innovation and giving overlooked founders a fair shot at fulfilling their visions.
Kimmy and Sergio have two boys, Rafael and Adrian, who were Beta Boomers from the beginning, hanging out with founders in Beta Boom’s office over the summer of 2018. Rafael wants to work for Beta Boom one day and Adrian wants to be a professional footballer (soccer player).
I was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica as the youngest of five girls. With a resilient mother who put cracks in the glass ceiling and a father who stood up for women’s exceptionalism, I was destined to be a feminist too.
As a child, I was a very energetic, usually bare-footed, tomboy who loved all sports. At the age of sixteen, one of my sisters and I became the first of our nuclear family to immigrate to the United States to attend boarding school in Connecticut.
At the same time, my love for math grew into an obsession for computers. Competitive and determined as I was, I declared my Computer Science major in the first two weeks of college and didn’t look back.
My given name is Sergiusz (pronounced ser-gyoush), but most people call me Sergio (pronounced the Italian way, as in Sergio Leone).
I’m an immigrant to the United States from a tiny town in southern Poland. When I immigrated to America in the late 1980s, we settled in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
At that time, Chelsea was the heroin-importing capital of the East Coast and was overrun by gangs, specifically the X-Men and Latin Kings. Those years in Chelsea made me who I am today and are the key reason why Beta Boom exists.
