David Villalón is one of Europe’s leading voices in enterprise AI. As co-founder and CEO of Maisa, he is pioneering a new category: agentic AI that is deterministic, auditable, and trustworthy.

A former Product Leader at Voicemod and Chief AI Officer at Clibrain, David combines deep technical intuition with a creator’s mindset—shaped by years of hands-on experimentation with LLMs and AI systems.

At Maisa, he leads the development of the Knowledge Processing Unit (KPU), a breakthrough architecture that treats AI like an operating system—enabling transparent, high-stakes automation without hallucinations or black-box logic.

His mission is simple but urgent: to build AI that thinks, acts, and remembers—but never lies.

Maisa recently raised the largest pre-seed round in Spanish startup history, backed by NFX and Village Global—a venture fund supported by Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, and Jeff Bezos.
