Inevitable Podcast

Welcome everyone to another episode of the Inevitable Podcast.

In this episode, I had the pleasure to host Lucas Abreu.

For those who don't know, Lucas is a venture investor at Astella an early-stage venture capital firm focused on funding and supporting entrepreneurs in Brazil.

Lucas is also a Venture Capital Fellow at Blitzscaling Ventures, a firm that supports growth-stage companies attacking winner-take-most markets.

Here are some of the questions that I asked Lucas:

  • How was your childhood?  
  • When did you realize you wanted to work with VC? How was it?
  • How did you get your first job at a VC firm?
  • How did you get started at Astella as a first employee?
  • What do you think is necessary to be a successful investor?
  • What is your advice to people that want to join VC?

You can listen to this and other Inevitable Podcast episodes on Youtube, Spotify and all other audio platforms.
