About a month ago I was in Porto Alegre, a city that I love in Brazil.
I had an opportunity to do a keynote on the state of the market in VC-Latam, share a bit more about what we think is coming for founders and overall meet several high-quality people.
Congrats to all involved in putting South Summit together and special shoutout to Manu Vasconcellos for inviting me to speak.
Once a week, right after a formal turndown, I get a founder asking me if I can introduce them to other investors. This is a weak and stupid ask.
As an investor, CEO, founder, or leader you must persevere until exhaustion, with discipline and rational determination.
Founders and investors must understand that the vast minority of companies are supposed to be venture-backed, not the opposite.
