Alfonso Alberto Ramos was born and raised with the understanding that innovation can change the world. Based in Albany, New York—the state's capital—he founded ThinkMakes with a revolutionary vision: to create the world's first global marketplace for innovation and stock exchange for ideas.

Early Life & Education

Growing up in Albany, Alfonso witnessed firsthand how great ideas often died due to lack of resources and opportunity. This sparked his lifelong mission to democratize innovation and ensure that brilliant minds everywhere could turn their ideas into reality.

Entrepreneurial Journey

In 2024, Alfonso founded ThinkMakes Inc., building it from concept to a comprehensive innovation ecosystem that includes idea marketplace, stock exchange, banking services, AI education platform, and global partnership network.

Innovation Philosophy

Alfonso's core belief is that America's greatest strength lies not in division, but in unleashing the creative potential of every person—regardless of background. His platform demonstrates how immigration, innovation, and economic opportunity create a virtuous cycle of prosperity.
