Eduardo Saborío wasn't content with the status quo. In 2009, Eduardo Saborío took a leap of faith, leaving the security of his software job to forge his own path in the world of entrepreneurship. He founded Centauro Solutions, determined to make his mark. This was more than just a leap of faith—it was planting a seed in fertile soil, and boy, did it grow!
Starting in a tiny, sun-baked office, Centauro's journey has been a wild ride!
The early days of Centauro were challenging, with Eduardo initially working alone. However, as time went on, the company began to grow until one day, finally, the eight-member team moved to a more comfortable space complete with an essential luxury—air conditioning!
Eduardo often says, "Nothing is as they teach you in books or university," reflecting on the unglamorous and unpredictable details of the tech world.
"We must have done a few things right to get where we are today, and I think one of the most important ones has been knowing how to choose the ideal people for this project."
Take Ana Lépiz, for example. She became our legal, financial and operational guru, keeping everything running smoothly while Eduardo was out there charming the clients.
Jimmy Gamboa, the second brave soul to join the Centauro adventure, decided that his rural home town in San Carlos deserved a piece of the tech pie too, and started recruiting talent right from his living room (little did he know he'd be saying goodbye to his free time!).
Catalina Calvo, our marketing magician, taught us how to talk the talk and make people fall head over heels for us (and our products!).
And to top it all off, Fernando Segura swooped in, bringing years of experience from the big leagues, to make sure we stayed on track and kept growing like crazy.
Centauro isn't just about coding;
It's about creating a thriving ecosystem where tech professionals can take root and grow. Even during the pandemic, Centauro maintained its strong sense of unity, ensuring no one was left behind. Our horizontal vision fosters a collaborative, happy workplace where every team member is valued.
Today, the company has over 100 dedicated professionals who tackle tech industry challenges and keep a constant flow of fresh ideas that enhance our products and services. Through mutual dedication and a focus on quality, Centauro continues to flourish.

Ruta Uno
“RutaUno” was a free app that was part of the measures the government implemented to mitigate the impact of the construction of the new bridge on the General Cañas Highway during 2017. This app worked on any Android or iOS smartphone. It provided road status updates, train schedules to and from San José and Alajuela, bus service schedules to and from San José and Alajuela, as well as information and locations of temporary parking areas. Centauro Solutions, along with LATAM Tech Innovations, contributed their resources and expertise to develop this application and assist the country during such a critical time
