I love the moment an idea stops being a slide and becomes something real people rely on.
For me, building a company is a craft: listening closely, shipping, learning, and doing it again a little better each time. I'm drawn to problems where technology can give people back time and clarity, and I care as much about how a product feels as what it does.
Today that means co-founding Simplicity and building AI for real estate. Tomorrow it will mean whatever problem is most worth solving, built with the same care.
My Story
I'm Max Murciano, a first-generation American born and raised in Miami, and I come from people who refused to quit.
My father escaped communism to come to the United States. My mother moved here from Mexico as a teenager. On her side, my great-great-grandfather was General Miguel Cástulo Alatriste, Governor of Puebla. In 1862, with just 500 men, he held his ground for six hours against a far larger force before he was captured and executed. He faced the firing squad saying:
“Tiren con valor, que muero por mi Patria.”
Shoot with courage, for I die for my country.
Those words have stayed with me my whole life. I'll never face what he faced, but I try to live with the same conviction: decide what you stand for and give it everything.
That spirit shows up in how I live day to day. I'm happiest outside, whether I'm in the ocean, running, or competing on the tennis court. I train at the gym, and I never miss a chance to catch the Heat. Sports taught me discipline and how to show up when it counts. Napoleon Hill and Robert Greene sharpened how I think about persistence and strategy.
Today I pour all of it into building companies, with the same relentless drive that runs in my family.

Official Tourism Partner of Mexico
I spearheaded the initiative within Simplicity that signed a government deal, making Simplicity an official tourism partner of Mexico.
For Mexico, we built Explore Mexico: an all-in-one booking engine for hotels, restaurants, attractions and eSIM that creates a customized travel itinerary for each guest. It launches later this year at international airports throughout Mexico.

I'm always exploring new ideas at the intersection of AI, product, and entrepreneurship. Future ventures will live here.
The Simplicity team.
What I think about
AI
The best AI disappears into the work. It should feel less like a tool you operate and more like a teammate who's always ready.
Product
Simple is hard. Every feature you don't ship is a decision, and the good ones make the product feel inevitable.
Entrepreneurship
Start before you feel ready, stay close to the people you serve, and let conviction and curiosity pull in the same direction.
Miami
Miami is home, and it's a city still writing its story.
I'm active in Miami's community and in its cultural and civic life, because the places we build in deserve builders who show up for them. The energy here, its mix of cultures, ambition, and openness, shapes how I think about work and about what's possible.
