“Latin America has immense untapped potential for entrepreneurship, and my vision is to create a vibrant community that empowers entrepreneurs to succeed and make a positive impact in their local economies,” says Leo Horacio, a successful Latin American entrepreneur and co-founder of one of the biggest automation companies, Luna Automation Agency.
With a track record of success and a deep passion to empower others, Horacio’s latest endeavor comes at a pivotal time when Latin America’s startup scene is gaining momentum. Industry analysts believe that the region is primed for an entrepreneurial boom of increasing access to technology, a rising middle class, and a growing appetite for digital commerce.
Horacio is set on a groundbreaking initiative to build a thriving community of entrepreneurs in Latin America. He seeks to channel the region’s untapped potential and create an ecosystem that nurtures innovation and economic growth and uses digitization to continuously reshape industries.
Building From His Success
His passion to empower others stems from his own success story, believing that other entrepreneurs can do the same. From arriving in the United States as an immigrant at age 11, Horacio was driven by an unwavering determination to create a better future. Though he faced many limitations, he persevered and eventually discovered that the internet held the key to his aspirations.
At age 17, Leo’s entrepreneurial journey started, founding an ad agency and lending his expertise to assist other brands. He shares, “It was during this time that I discovered the transformative power of eCommerce and decided to pivot my business model towards building online stores.”
This shift in his business model, with Horacio’s perseverance to overcome setbacks, paved the way for him to achieve his first million-dollar revenue at the age of 22. He then founded three successful businesses and Luna University, an educational institution dedicated to guiding and inspiring aspiring entrepreneurs in his community and beyond.
Driving Revenue and Changing Lives
Since its inception, Luna Automation Agency has been a trailblazer in the eCommerce industry, leveraging cutting-edge technology and an all-encompassing approach to assist aspiring entrepreneurs.

With an impressive portfolio of over 350 online automated eCommerce businesses, Luna Automation has generated staggering revenue, surpassing $125 million in sales as of May 2023. The company’s growth trajectory remains remarkable, with an average monthly revenue of $5 million and a steady 20% monthly growth rate. Such figures reflect the success of Horacio’s vision and the transformative impact Luna Automation Agency has had on its clients’ businesses.
The entrepreneur shares, “We take pride in building everything for our clients and investors. Our team of experts spans every aspect of the business, ensuring that our partners receive comprehensive support in market research, product development, branding, logistics, marketing, customer service, and scaling their businesses.”
Expanding the Horizon of Success
Recognizing the importance of giving back, Horacio through his Luna Automation has actively engaged in philanthropic endeavors, focusing on community development and animal welfare. His dedication to his roots and his desire to create positive change shine through initiatives, such as building houses for those in need and rescuing abandoned dogs from the streets.
At the same time, Horacio recognizes the high potential of Latin America’s entrepreneurial landscape. According to recent forecasts, the region is projected to experience robust growth in various sectors, fueled by technological advancements and a growing middle class. The entrepreneur aims to harness this momentum and channel it towards creating a supportive environment for entrepreneurs to thrive by leveraging his expertise in eCommerce and automation.
“In building a community of entrepreneurs in Latin America, my ultimate goal is to create a platform where dreams can be realized and barriers to success can be overcome,” said Horacio. “Together, we can empower individuals to become drivers of change, both within their own lives and within their communities.”
His vision extends far beyond simply providing consultancy or educational services. He adopts a hands-on approach, offering end-to-end solutions and guidance to entrepreneurs seeking their path to success. This is to accomplish building a supportive network that fosters innovation, collaboration, and economic growth by establishing a thriving community for entrepreneurs.
“Our focus is not just on building businesses but on building a community. We want to inspire and equip individuals with the tools they need to succeed, regardless of their backgrounds. Latin America is a goldmine of untapped talent, and it’s our mission to unleash its full potential,” he asserts.
A Future of Innovation and Collaboration
Horacio reflects on his journey and shares his optimism for the future. “I believe that by working together and fostering an environment of effective collaboration, we can drive lasting change,” he notes. “Entrepreneurship has the power to uplift individuals, families, and entire communities. I hope that Luna Automation Agency’s contributions will continue to empower entrepreneurs and create a brighter future for Latin America.”
