Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Dheivis Yury Jara Vilca, who grew up in the Andean communities of Cusco, Peru, now leads international technology startups.
He founded Konstruedu, an online education platform specializing in construction, which reached over 50,000 students across Latin America before Netzun acquired it. Jara received support from Pronabec, Peru’s National Scholarship and Loan Program, which allowed him to study Civil Engineering at the National University of San Antonio Abad del Cusco.
During his university studies, Jara became interested in the startup ecosystem and identified a need for modern technologies in the construction industry. Konstruedu offered virtual courses on innovative construction methods like VDC, BIM, and Lean Construction, quickly gaining popularity in 25 countries including Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. Forbes Peru recognized Konstruedu as one of the top 100 startups in the country in both 2022 and 2024. After selling Konstruedu to Netzun in July 2025, Jara and his team launched Wirana.ai.
This new company uses artificial intelligence to automate sales processes for small and medium-sized businesses, currently serving clients in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. In April 2026, Jara participated in the Young Leaders of the Americas program in the United States, gaining further experience with emerging technologies. He continues to develop technology from his home in the Andes, believing that location should not limit entrepreneurial ambition.
