Miguel Armaza sits down with Billy Libby, CEO/Co-Founder at Upper90 and Conor Witt, Vice President at Upper90. Upper90 is a hybrid fund that invests credit and equity in early-stage businesses.

Launched in 2018, Upper90 has over $1.5B in AUM and has backed fintech companies like Thras.io, Octane Lending, Mundi, and many more.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Combining equity and debt underwriting and how Upper90 has built a team with two different skillsets under the same roof
• What they’ve learned from working with the best credit-driven companies in the market and what great founders have in common
• Venturing outside the US and why Upper90 sees a ton of opportunity in places like Latin America
• How electronic and quantitative trading in Wall Street led Billy to fintech and venture capital… lots more!
