Mariana Donangelo / Kaszek on what it takes to be successful in venture capital, traits of great founders and conviction around Latin America
Friday, March 25: For this episode I am thrilled to bring you my conversation with Mariana Donangelo, partner at KaszeK, Latin America's leading venture capital firm founded by MercadoLibre co-founder Hernan Kazah and its former CFO Nicolas Szekasy. KaszeK has recently raised $1B across two funds and since 2011 has backed over 90 companies including tech unicorns Nubank, Creditas, QuintoAndar, Gympass, Loggi and Kavak. Prior to KaszeK Mariana led growth at Invoice2Go and worked in Accel where she was heavily involved with Accel's initiatives in Brazil and Latin America. And finally, Mariana is a successful angel investor who backed some of the region's leading tech unicorns including Gympass, Nuvemshop and QuintoAndar super early.
In today's episode we will learn:
1) What are the essential traits of great founders in general and in LatAm specifically?
2) What are the key pillars of LatAm market evolution Mariana witnessed over the last decade?
3) How does the investment decision making process look like at KaszeK?
4) What does it take to be successful in the business of venture capital?
5) What is Mariana's single piece of advice for first time founders?
