Calling cross-border fintechs....cómo puedo transferir dinero a un restaurante (cuenta empresarial) en MX desde EEUU? Me rehuso a pensar que un wire de 3 dias a través de mi banco es mi única opción.... 😩


Voy para Bogotá en un par de semanas para Colombia Tech Week.. fintech founders, avísenme para conocerlos!


Looking for a venue near cdmx for a ~50 person summit. Ideally can get in / out from the city in the same day. Ideas?


Loved being back at @HarvardHBS for the #hbsmitlatamconference ! Awesome to share the panel with this incredible group 🙌🏻

Extraordinary panel discussion with thoughtful and sharp global investors at the LatAm Conference at @HarvardHBS & @MITSloan! - Marcelo Lima, monashees - @acgadala, @QEDInvestors@AnnaPinol_, @NFX - Julian Roeoes, @picuscap - @GilgameshVC

Every business has a core function. Some businesses make athletic shoes while others make wide screen televisions. What’s become clear over the past week is that many people don’t understand what Banks actually do. A simplified explanation if you're interested:🧵👇

📢📢📢 Founders, we want to help as many founders affected by SVB to meet their payroll requirements early next week. Please help us getting this to as many founders as possible. We are working around the clock to solve this asap. #svb #payroll forms.gle/HrvtAdKeUwwZ2F…


Lots of exciting changes yet to come in LatAm... opportunities abound!

LatAm's fintech future is so exciting and full of potential and innovation. QED's Camila Vieira (@timevalueoftech), Ana Cristina Gadala-Maria (@acgadala) and Mike Packer (@mikepacker_QED) share what's in store in 2023. Here are their Top 🔟 predictions. qedinvestors.com/blog/predictio…

QED Miami office, officially open 🙋‍♀️ (no, not an actual office. Just me, in Miami 🌴) LatAm fintech founders & VCs - let me know when you're in town!


Mental health is not often discussed in startups, even more true in Latin America. Excited for QED portfolio companies to have a resource for their employees to start destigmatizing and learning how to recognize when others may need help.

QED’s @acgadala and Maryalice Viljoen spoke with @nicolecasperson about normalizing discussions about mental health and substance use disorders in the startup ecosystem. Full story in the WTFintech newsletter: workweek.com/2022/08/03/men…



Still disappointed every time I come across a team slide with zero women, even though it happens pretty often in LatAm. We can do better...


Great breakdown of BNPL (aka POS finance) by @yusufozdalga

Buy-now-pay-later is not the same as traditional lending. Used successfully, BNPL creates a rare win-win-win for consumers, merchants and banks. When you deviate from what makes it unique, a cascading failure takes place and everything breaks down. Here's why it is important.



Excited to expand our LatAm team! Welcome @timevalueoftech 🎉

Join us in welcoming Camila Vieira (@timevalueoftech) to the QED Investors team. Camila is our first employee in Brazil and she brings deep investing and operating experience from Goldman Sachs, Ceridian, Moody’s and Hotmart. qedinvestors.com/blog/qed-inves…

Thoughtful and insightful framework from @fintechjunkie on how to think about the changing reality for VC funds. Key for VCs to think about what their stable points are or whether they're in an "unstable orbit" 🪐

🚨It's finally here🚨 Curious how VC Funds are evolving to reflect the recent changes in the LP and Startup ecosystems? "The Three-Body Problem: Finding the New Stable Points in Venture Capital" is finally here. Read on for links: 👇



What VCs investing in LatAm are hiring remote / US based? Have a few very talented friends I’d like to refer 🤩


Excited to be backing @AngelaAcostaD and the Morado team through Fontes 🟣! Not only is there a huge opportunity in a largely offline industry, but also an example of how great businesses can change individual lives 💪🏻

Meet Morado, a two-month old Colombian marketplace for the beauty industry that just raised $5M tcrn.ch/3vrhPga by @bayareawriter



Amazing to spend time with this group of women 💪🏻🙌🏻

The energy in São Paulo.. starting with this group of absolute badasses right here! Thanks @acgadala + @diananarvaez1 for being great PICs in organizing this dinner for female funders and founders. The night absolutely flew by! #LadiesWhoLaunch 🚀

How many *new* startups were created in LatAm in the last year? Anyone have this stat? (also ok if only for a specific country). Bonus points if you have the fintech numbers 🤓
