JUNIOR GARCIA

Junior Garcia is the Founder and CEO of HeroUI, an AI-powered frontend development platform based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Before establishing the three-person B2B startup, he spent nearly a decade working as a software engineer, which included a tenure as a Software Engineer at the global payroll company Deel. Garcia originally created the company's core product as an open-source React library called NextUI, which has accumulated over 25,000 GitHub stars and 600,000 monthly downloads from the global developer community. After participating in Y Combinator's Summer 2024 cohort, he officially rebranded the platform to HeroUI in early 2025 and launched HeroUI Chat, a tool utilized by developers at Apple, Adobe, Oracle, and Microsoft. His current professional focus centers on expanding this design-driven UI ecosystem to streamline user interface creation for modern web and mobile applications.
