Equity

The tourist VCs in LatAm have gone home


Listen Later

This week, Mary Ann talked to  David Vélez, the co-founder and CEO of Nubank, the $50 billion São Paulo, Brazil-based digital bank that offers credit cards, checking accounts and life insurance to consumers.

  • How Nubank has managed to increase its market cap by over 40% in eight months’ time.
  • Why some investors are sticking it out in LatAm, and why it’s a great place to still put venture dollars.
  • Which startups in LatAm have been the most resilient and what other regions can learn from them.
  • All right, sit back, hit play and have some fun with us. Equity will be back next Tuesday due to a U.S. holiday on Monday. See you then!
