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.
Hold the elevator for someone, genuinely be happy for a friend you love, and even raise millions of dollars for your entrepreneurial quest. Express your joy.
I spent 3.5 months in Brazil during COVID. Unfortunately, Brazil is still a very unorganized country. The devil is in the details.
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.
