Molins studied at MIT and Harvard.

His career began as an associate in market risk modeling at Goldman Sachs. He then spent several years at Netflix working on recommendation algorithms, and his last listed title there was Director of Product Innovation.

Crunchbase lists one personal investment: an angel round in Vivo Fitness on November 10, 2016. PitchBook also lists one deal, dated November 2016, in a company called Vivo and tagged as consumer education and training. The two records appear to describe the same deal. Crunchbase shows no lead investments and no exits. It also lists him as an advisor to MSMCI since June 2016. No check sizes, ownership stakes or later angel deals are public.
No AI-focused angel investments by Molins are public. His AI experience comes from operating roles: recommendation algorithms at Netflix, predictive models for diagnostics at Miroculus, and data science leadership at Clarity AI and Justos.
Crunchbase tags him as an individual angel who invests at seed stage. He has not publicly stated a thesis, a check size or a preferred geography. His single recorded deal was in 2016 and was a consumer fitness company. Founders should treat his focus as unconfirmed. He is most likely to have a view on data science, machine learning and insurtech, because those are the fields he works in.
- Vivo Fitness: fitness company in which he invested in an angel round announced November 10, 2016.
- Justos: Brazilian car insurtech he co-founded in 2020. This is a founder role, not an angel investment.
