Torrenegra has started to work as a consultant for Terra-Lycos and Yahoo! in the United States. He began studying Computer Management Systems at Florida International University in Spanish, and following his microeconomics research in digital markets, Alex decided to retire from the university again in order to found the Torrenegra Labs company in 2000.

With the launch of this business-incubator, in which they made experiments with business models in digital markets, young Colombian Alexander Torrenegra joined his passion for these markets and entrepreneurship.

At that time, the TR35 Colombia award recognized Alex as an Innovator of the Year and he did not imagine that years later - a few weeks ago - the company would be recognized by Forbes magazine as one of the eight most important start-ups in the United States founded by immigrants.

Torrenegra Labs has already incubated more than 15 companies, 11 of which were co-founded by Torrenegra.

Its main headquarters are in Bogota, and there are also some offices in New York. In the city, Torrenegra Labs dedicated to investing "capital, time [in mentoring] and resources [as logistical support] in our own ideas and ideas of entrepreneurs that we believe have a great future ahead"

Among the companies co-founded by Torrenegra, three of them have also been designed and developed by him: Voice123, VoiceBunny and BookingMarkets.

Voice123 is a pioneering online service that puts in contact to announcers and producers for works related to the voice.

Although there are others such as Voices.com or Bodalgo, Torrenegra was the forerunner of all.

Made in 2003, "it is the result - says the TR35 - of the research on the agreement between supply and demand in markets of high fragmentation," such as voice recordings.

More than three million recordings have already been made through both platforms, according to Torrenegra data.

"Its greatest social impact is being able to open the speaking market to any type of participant and, especially, to people with limitations or with disabilities that hinder their mobility and must work from home."

According to Vanesa Kolodziej, CEO of Nazca Ventures and a member of the jury of the TR35 Colombia awards, these innovations make Torrenegra "the perfect combination between a successful entrepreneur and the creative mind".

In 1998, Torrenegra moved to the United States. He met his wife, Tania Zapata, who was a voice actress, in Miami, Florida.
