Andrés Barreto (born in 1987) is a Colombian-American entrepreneur. Originally from Colombia, he now lives in New York City. His latest company, Onswipe, is a software platform that enables publishers and advertisers to reach large audiences through touchable devices like the iPad. Barreto has also launched several startups, including Grooveshark (defunct), PulsoSocial, and Cloudomatic.
Barreto was born in Colombia and moved to the United States at the age of 12. His parents, an engineer and a dentist, settled in Florida where Barreto attended high school and college.
He founded his first company in 2005, while he was a student at University of Florida. Barreto initially planned to major in business and engineering, but after a few political science courses he decided he wished to help Latin America become more financially stable through entrepreneurship.
In 2005, he created an online platform where students could share class notes and homework. During this year he also launched a public-relations agency to help companies in United States reach the Latin American market and vice versa. This agency, Socialatom Group, connected the two markets to help the economies of Latin America. The group is headquartered in Miami, Florida and has offices across Latin America.
