Read his VC Uncovered Profile:

Drew Glover talks to Elias Mufarech from Collide Capital on his journey from Peru to venture capital and his investment philosophy of "finding exceptions". Elias details his path, including launching Endeavor in Peru , working at a B2B FinTech startup in Mexico City , and scaling Cloud Kitchens with Travis Kalanick during the chaotic early days of the pandemic.

The conversation gets really interesting when Elias introduces his "Baker's Son thesis", explaining how watching his father build a company from scratch in Peru shaped how he underwrites founders based on their craft and passion. He also offers a fascinating look at Collide's unique student scout program , describing it as one of the largest in the U.S. and explaining why their long-term, educational approach is more valuable than a traditional, transactional deal-sourcing model.
