Wer bestellt nicht gern bei AliExpress, Shein oder Temu? Die Preise sind günstig und inzwischen liegt die Lieferzeit oft bei nur einer Woche. Besonders beliebt sind Bestellungen mit einem geringen Warenwert, so genannte Kleinstpakete. 4,6 Milliarden Pakete sind davon im Jahr 2024 über die Grenze gegangen.

Nieuwe week, so what! Een kussengevecht, een gezondheidsring van AliExpress én Merel die bijna haar tong had ingeslikt.

Welcome to Season 4 of The J Curve with me, Olga Maslikhova.This week, I sit down with João Del Valle, co-founder and CEO of EBANX—one of Latin America's most iconic fintech stories and a company that built one of the most expansive cross-border payment platforms in the world.Founded in Curitiba—well outside Brazil's traditional tech hub of São Paulo—EBANX was built for scale from day one. Its global-by-design approach quickly became a powerful competitive moat, allowing the company to expand into 29 countries, process billions in cross-border payments, and power transactions for global giants like Spotify and AliExpress.In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to scale global infrastructure from Latin America, why complexity is a competitive advantage, and how João evolved from founder and CTO to CEO of a company backed by Advent International in one of their largest-ever tech deals.Here's what we cover:• How embracing regulatory and payment complexity became core to EBANX's GTM playbook• What 2022–2023 taught João about discipline, cold-blooded decision-making, and founder-mode leadership• How João leads distributed teams across the U.S., China, and Latin America• What it means to scale sustainably without blitzscaling—and still attract a firm like Advent International• How João thinks about long-term planning, investor alignment, and the path to liquidity• Tactical insight on navigating cross-border regulation, local payment rails, and real-time systems like Pix and UPIFor global operators, fintech builders, and investors looking for real lessons in execution—this episode is packed with insight.More from us: Subscribe to our weekly newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The J Curve Insider⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where we go beyond the podcast to break down the most exciting investment & tech trends in LATAM. Sharp.

Niet alleen Married at first sight, maar ook het meer ‘brave’ Boer Zoekt Vrouw kunnen in deze podcast rekenen op zowel lof als stevige kritiek. Er is meer leed dan liefde, stelt bijvoorbeeld mediaverslaggever Dennis Jansen: ‘De makers van Boer Zoekt Vrouw hadden écht moeten ingrijpen!’ Worden de deelnemers van deze datingprogramma’s überhaupt wel voldoende tegen zichzelf in bescherming genomen? Een nieuw seizoen van De Verraders ging recent van start op RTL 4. Vooral enkele plotwendingen en Lale Gül maken de tongen los. Deze deelnemer lijkt het spel slim aan te vliegen, maar hoe lang houdt ze het vol in dit wespennest? Ook buigt het podcastpanel zich over de komst van Yvonne Coldeweijer naar Net 5 en over vraag of Hazes en Hoogkamer: tot uw dienst de Ali Express-versie is van Geer & Goor? Het trio discussieert verder over het opmerkelijke optreden van Anouk in Vandaag Inside en de manier waarop de publieke omroepen momenteel bezuinigen op hun eigen programmering. Zet het inkorten van titels als First Dates en De keuringsdienst van waarde wel voldoende zoden aan de dijk? Gudo Tienhooven krijgt één minuut de tijd om iedereen te enthousiasmeren voor de ziekenhuisserie Dag & Nacht. En wat is er toch aan de hand met voetbalcommentator Sierd de Vos? Luisteren dus! Naar de wekelijkse AD Media Podcast, waarin mediaverslaggever Gudo Tienhooven en Dennis Jansen alle hoofd-, rand-, en bijzaken bespreken op het gebied van media.

Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent deconstruct the latest column by Stereophile's editor-in-chief and contemplate whether his position on spooky woo-woo has devolved in the past decade. Then they ogle cool amps and preamps on AliExpress that borrow revered brands yet cost only hundreds—and also examine how crazy it'd be to buy this stuff right now (b/c tariffs, not b/c communism and chopsticks). They conclude with a not-terribly-deep dive into a new article from Dennis about audio DIY, but not the kind of audio DIY you're probably imagining. Brent's audio projects:

In this week's episode, we're talking doors closing, prices rising, and common sense disappearing. From Shein and Temu playing the tariff game (as if the quality was ever worth it), to luxury brands getting exposed by China for basically AliExpress-ing us all. We also unpack people taking out payment plans to stand in the desert at Coachella, and Zeus Network stars are learning that reality TV fame doesn't translate to Hollywood fame. Plus, a serious turn with the FSU shooting and Luigi Mangione's charges in the unaliving of a healthcare CEO.

Les États-Unis taxent désormais à hauteur de 145% tous les produits chinois importés sur leur sol, sauf les produits issus de la tech, exemptés mais pas complètement. Si l'on en croit l'administration américaine, ça devrait encore changer. Pour comprendre comment fonctionne ces droits de douane et les mécanismes qui s'appliquent, suivons le parcours d'une machine à café. La cafetière, à l'heure du petit-déjeuner, est un élément essentiel. Pratiquement tous les foyers américains en sont équipés. En 2024, il s'en est vendu entre 27 et 30 millions sur le sol des États-Unis, d'après l'Observatoire de la complexité économique. Et si on prend cet exemple, c'est parce que c'est un produit du quotidien, courant, qui est fabriqué intégralement ou en partie en Chine.  À lire aussiLes petits producteurs chinois, grands perdants des mesures de Donald TrumpPour comprendre ce qui est en jeu, suivons le parcours de cette machine à café depuis le sol chinois où sa production est sous-traitée, dans des usines très loin des États-Unis donc. Un atelier va fabriquer le réservoir, un autre la carafe, et sans être exhaustif, un troisième va produire la plaque chauffante. Mais il y a une particularité : les fournisseurs ne sont pas tous nécessairement chinois, ils peuvent être d'autres pays asiatiques. Ensuite, toutes ces pièces détachées qui composent notre cafetière vont être regroupées ensemble sur un site d'assemblage en Chine. Coût de production et taxes De ce site chinois va donc sortir la machine à café intégralement construite. À partir de là, quand on additionne toutes ces étapes, on sait combien a coûté la fabrication du produit. On appelle ça son coût de production. Pour en avoir une estimation, regardons le site en ligne Ali Express. Le prix sec de cette cafetière y est de 30 dollars. Elle va maintenant prendre le bateau, direction un port américain. Ajoutons 4 dollars de frais de port. Prix total, 34 dollars. À lire aussiComment Apple tente d'esquiver les droits de douane de Donald TrumpEt c'est là qu'interviennent les mesures douanières américaines. Car pour quitter le port de Shanghai, arriver à Baltimore, et que la cafetière sorte du cargo, l'importateur doit s'acquitter des 145% de droits de douane. Et cela, même si les pièces viennent d'un peu partout : on le disait, le produit est chinois, étant donné qu'il a été assemblé en Chine. Un petit calcul nous permet à présent de déterminer le prix de cette machine à café. On l'a vu, sa valeur est de 34 dollars, avec une taxe à 145%. Son prix grimpe donc de 34 à 83 dollars ! À la fin, qui paie ? Ça ne s'arrête pas là. On peut ajouter les frais de logistique, de stockage, de transport, et la marge du vendeur. On atteint ainsi facilement plus de 100 / 120 dollars. On est loin de la cafetière assemblée pour 30 dollars dans une usine chinoise. L'impact est donc réel pour le consommateur américain. Car si techniquement, on l'a dit, c'est l'importateur qui paie les droits de douane, dans les faits, c'est le consommateur qui absorbe ce coût. Mais au-delà de l'exemple de la machine à café, ce mécanisme s'applique pour bon nombre de produits du quotidien consommés aux États-Unis. On peut penser à l'iPhone évidemment, aux jouets et jeux, mais aussi à tout un tas de matériel électroménager dont les Américains sont ultra-dépendants. Car les tarifs douaniers jouent un rôle clé dans la détermination du prix que l'on paie !

Buy potential buyers don't tend to have the time or resources to make the big flights over the Pacific to visit China and directly source reliable manufacturing partners. And they really - if they're smart - don't want to just order stuff, and then cross their fingers and toes hoping the stuff shows up, lines up with what was ordered, works, and then meets necessary certifications. Jacob Horwitz saw an opportunity to create a new company that functions as something as a boutique digital signage distribution company that sources, curates and markets display and related technologies that its resellers can then take to market. Horwitz will be familiar to a lot of industry people for a pair of installation companies he started and ran the U.S. - IST and later Zutek. In both cases, he sold the companies, and he could have just retired ... but he didn't want to retire. Nor did his wife, because a Jacob with too much time on his hands would make her crazy. So he started Illuminology with a longtime industry friend and business partner Stephen Gottlich, who for many years ran the digital file for Gable. I caught up with Horwitz to talk about the origins and rationale for Illuminology, which is just spinning up but has some big plans. Subscribe from wherever you pick up new podcasts. TRANSCRIPT Jacob, it was nice speaking with you. You have started a company called Illuminology, which sounds like you started a cult, but I think that's not what it is.  Jacob Horwitz: Not yet, no, We hope it will be at some point, a good following, but first off, Dave, thanks for having me. It's been nine years since you and I first chatted on a podcast. I don't know if you realize that. It was December of 2016, and we had just finished, I think maybe the nationwide rollout of Burger King, you and I had a chat about that, and it's hard to believe nine years have gone by.  This was when you had IST?  Jacob Horwitz: Installation Service Technologies was a nationwide installation and service company, that was sold in 2018 and then a year later, I restarted a company called Zootech, and I was approached by a customer who was looking to be entrepreneurial and that company is now owned by Karen Salmon. It's a woman-owned business mow, and her father was the founder of Powerpoint of Sale. I took a couple of years off. I have a person that I have worked with for 30 years, my business partner, Stephen Gottlich. I think you've met Stephen, and he has been working with Gable Signs for the last 17 years and I think what Illuminology is now is a culmination of really two parallel journeys. Stephen took a traditional sign company 17 years ago down a path of innovation, and Gable went from a bending metal traditional sign company to a visual solutions company my background, which has been installation and service for the last 20 years, brings together two people who are a little bit older than when you and I first talked nine years ago.  It was probably 60 pounds ago when I talked to you for the first time. I'm a little gray or a little wiser and a little bit older. So the two of us come from really parallel journeys in different areas of digital signage, and we wanted to create something a little different in the United States. We'd seen some business models and other parts of the world that seem to be working. So we wanted to create a marketplace that would expand digital signage to companies interested in expanding their scope of business. So we focus a lot on traditional sign companies other technology-type companies, and installation companies. They all have some type of footprint in the verticals with technology but they're not carrying digital signage.  So we thought, how do we expand digital signage to reach a lot more people? And we've come up with this business model.  So for people who are completely unfamiliar with it, how do you describe it in your elevator pitch? Jacob Horwitz: The easiest way to describe it is to think of us as a traditional distributor of digital signage to authorized resellers. Much like a Blue Star, B&H, except that we're very boutique, and we're very focused, and we're very passionate. Stephen and I are not, we've been fortunate in business. I'm 65, Stephen is 70-ish, so we know we don't have a lot of time to build something that's going to take years and years, but we wanted to build something special.  So you would be like, an Almo or those kinds of companies, but much more focused specifically on digital signage?  Jacob Horwitz: … And being able to support them differently. So take a digital traditional sign company, next month, we'll be at the International Sign Show in Las Vegas, the USA, and a lot of those people are digital, but it's amazing how many fast signs, and banners to go, those types of places that are selling digital signage today and have no idea what digital is. They're very old and traditional.  I think of it if you sold typewriters or telephones a couple of decades ago and you didn't evolve in the IP phones and computers, you're probably not in business anymore. So we're taking a lot of those types of sign companies. We have a course called Illuminology University. We take them through an 8 to 10-week course. These are live training classes and curricula we put together to train them about what is a sign in digital singage, what's LED, what's LCD, what is GOB versus COB, just really teaching them about the industry and they have a lot of reach in the verticals that traditional people selling digital signage today don't have. The other thing that makes us unique. When you go to traditional companies like Blue Stars, you don't have everything available under one distributor. We have an experience center that's opening next week in Kansas City. It's a supermarket of visual solutions, so you'll be able to see not just LED or LCD, but you're also going to see light boxes, you're going to see different kiosks, you're going to see where AI comes into play with digital signage, you're going to have a good understanding in our experience center of the programmatic side of how things can be monetized with a digital retail network. I think that because of the 30 years that Steven and I have been involved in technology and in the last twenty in digital signage, we can be much more of a boutique to help people with a wider range of solutions, not just a traditional 55-inch monitor, but LED posters, you had on your blog a few weeks ago that digital desk, which is part of our showroom, so I think it's about innovation. I think it's about a wider range of solutions, and it's hopefully in our last chapters of life, having a lot of fun with our partners.  So I assume if I call or contact one of the larger distributors who do unified communications, do all kinds of different things, and I start asking them about it, I'm a POS company, I have a customer who's asking me about menu boards and things like that. I don't know where to start.  If you talk to a larger distribution company, they have a sheet or a system that lists all the stuff they have and they can rattle off, here's what we have, what do you want, whereas you're saying because you're much more focused on this area and you have an experience center, people could come in and you can try to find something that's tailored to their needs as opposed to what we have.  Jacob Horwitz: Yeah, I think that all those traditional distribution models are very good at taking orders and taking money. A couple of them even have some departments where they're trying to help you with that consultive part of the business but I think at the end of the day, from my installation side, conservatively, we installed well over 400,000 displays in every kind of vertical you could imagine when I owned IST.  We did the new SoFi Stadium. We did all of their point of sale. Arlington Stadium, we did all of their digital assets when Daktronics had contracted us. And Stephen has done every kind of hardware installs you could think of when he was with Gable. So I think that being able to work with a company and be there to hold their hand too, we've already gotten on a plane and gone to sales calls with our partners. You're not going to get that from a traditional distributor. We work and do the RFPs with them. We work with them on pricing and quotes. So it's a little bit different than just trying to take an order so I think that's what makes us unique and the education and our school of hard knocks, you know, god knows, we've made an awful lot of mistakes in 20 years So I think we're gotten pretty good at what we do.  So are you selling strictly third-party stuff, or are there products that fall under the Illuminology brand or a related brand?  Jacob Horwitz: We've been going back and forth for a decade now to China. Stephen and I's first project together, was Simon Properties, 250 malls, and one of the largest media networks for digital out-of-home in the country, we designed the kiosk 10 years ago that they were still using and running in their malls, and that was a factory direct where we worked directly with the factories, built a kiosk, and were able to give Simon an amazing solution, especially where technology was 10 years ago.  So through that experience and over the last decade, we've met absolutely the best factories in China. There are a lot of stereotypes of what a Chinese factory could look like, and until you go and you see the automation and the technology there, God knows you've done it. You've been all over the world. It's not what a lot of people think. So we work directly with factories. We are creating two brands. There are more later on in the year, we are white labeling or branding our product. There'll be a line of displays called LightScapes, and then there'll be a line of kiosks called EasyOSK. So these are part of our longer-term business plan to have a brand. So you're not just saying, well, we bought these from some factories in Taiwan Korea Vietnam and China. We work very closely with the factories. We work very closely with people like AUO who are on the display side, and the panel side, and we will have some things that are unique within that brand. It will not just be the same product that everybody can buy. But because we're doing factory direct because we've got ten-year relationships with these factories, and they know Stephen and me well. We've been going except during COVID several times a year to China. I think that we're able to buy from them at incredibly good pricing and pass those savings on to our resellers. So what if you had a Chinese manufacturer that's strong domestically in that country and has a lot of them trying to come to the U.S. or over to Europe and say, here we are, and not get anywhere, would you sell their product under their brand or would it have to fall under one of your brands? Jacob Horwitz: No, we sell generic products as well. So for example, that desk that you talk about, I was in that factory last month. The person who owns that factory is a very small equity owner within Illuminology because we've known her for ten years and anything that comes from any factory out of China, she will go do that quality check before it ever hits the container to get over here. So she's a very instrumental part of our business over there, but we sell some of the stuff out of her factory as a generic product. It's not necessarily branded with LightScapes. It might be branded with Illuminology, but when you go look at the certification tags and serial numbers, it's still her company name on it, whereas LightScapes and EasyOSK are true white-labeled products that are going to be unique to us. Does that get around any regulatory issues in terms of what can come over from China if it's coming through you?  Jacob Horwitz: The regulations that are driving everybody in our industry crazy right now are the tariffs. But, to us, I think some of the big things that you don't see out of Chinese companies are the right approvals. We're very focused right now on our products being a UL or UL equivalent. There are five or six laboratories that are like MET. That is exactly like UL. It's UL-approved. We had a very large factory send us apart to test and they looked at it yesterday and we already rejected it because the power supply was not a UL-approved power supply. We said, we're not even going to test it.  So I think that those are things that are not regulatory from the U.S., but they're important to us, from a safety side, especially when you're working with enterprise tier one customers, they, have to have the right certifications, but I think the only thing that's causing us headaches is not the regulatory side, but, trying to figure out the right pricing with tariffs and how we handle that. Cause it's changing by the day.  Jacob Horwitz: Every time I look up, I'm afraid to look at the TV to see if it's higher or whatnot, but all of our pricing that we post to our dealers today is a landed cost from Kansas City. So it's including if we had inbound shipping or we had tariffs, we don't want our resellers to have to worry about that and they know that this is the pricing and if the tariffs go away, then we can lower that price. But if it goes crazy, they need to be prepared. We're working closely with some factories right now in Taiwan, Korea, and others in Vietnam so that we have a backup solution because right now the lion's share is coming from China.  If it's touched in Taiwan or touched in Vietnam, but with Chinese components, does that make a difference? Jacob Horwitz: Yeah, we just had that problem. We had ordered some stuff that came in from Canada, and this was before the Canadian tariff of 25%. This was two-three weeks before that, and we got a bill for tariffs, and we were talking with the U.S. Customs and the experts at DHL and UPS, and it turns out, if you're buying something from, for example, the great area of Canada, where you're sitting at home, but the company we bought it from manufactured their part in China when they ship it to us and their commercial invoice to U.S. Customs asks the company in Canada, where the country of origin it was manufactured and even though I bought it from Canada, had no idea that the part I ordered was not manufactured in Canada, we got hit with that 20 percent tariff on that product, and that surprised us. We didn't think it through or understand and the hard part is even when you talk to the absolute top people at U.S. Customs at the borders that are doing this, they're not even sure hour by hour what the rules are. So it's been hard.  We had another container come in and we had, I think, a $7k or $8k tariff. This is when it was 10%, but it landed in the U.S. before the tariff started and they still would not release it without us paying the tariff. Two days ago, we got that money back from U.S. customs. They realized they shouldn't have even charged it. It was before the date the tariff started. But unfortunately, by the time we released it, they held it hostage for a bit. So it's a hard situation, but we're going to work with other countries and I think that everybody's in the same boat, and I think in terms of pricing, our distribution model is much like the traditional guys. It's on a very low margin. So we have to have a lot of resellers that are looking to expand their business. So I'm curious about markets like Vietnam and India, which I keep hearing about, having gotten into electronics and being alternatives to Korea, Taiwan, particularly China, is that industry, particularly on the display side, mature enough now to buy products from there?  Jacob Horwitz: Since September, I've visited sixteen different countries across the world, I think on three or four continents and getting ready for the right factories and the right things and just enjoying travel at the same time, and the one thing that surprised me is how far behind the U.S. is compared to a lot of parts of the world and how much digital signage you see. Also, when you talk to these people what they're paying for digital signage throughout other parts of the world is far less money than the U.S. customers paying us companies for digital signage. The margins in Asia and Europe are much thinner than the traditional margins that resellers have been getting in the U.S.  Our motto, and you see it across our website, is “The Best for Less”, and we have tried to find the best factories in the world and be able to give it at a price that is not greedy. That's a win for us, for our resellers, and most importantly for the companies that are trying to buy and put that digital signage into their business so they can inspire and tell a story to their customer. And I think that even in the smallest towns of Vietnam, you still see digital outdoor LEDs on the sides of buildings and you go into the shopping malls and it's far more digital than you see here. So that was interesting to me as I've got to travel the world in the last four months. Is it a function of cost or awareness?  Jacob Horwitz: I'm not sure, but I'm assuming first it's a function of cost because where they're working on margins that are so much less, it allows that to get into people's businesses, and when you're charging $1k for a 55-inch commercial grade LCD, 500 nit monitor, it's a barrier to entry. So we're trying to brand something and bring something to the market where we can be 20% less to the end user than a lot of the traditional things, and we think we've accomplished that. The tariffs hurt us a little bit, but they hurt everybody by and large. So I think that's really why the U.S. is slower. I don't want to use the word greed. I own businesses, but people have tried to get margins that I don't think you can get anymore, and I think that you're going to have to find other ways to monetize your business through the installation side, through the content side, and I think that it's also helping companies. It's a big part of what we do. I think of Chris at Stratacash, he has a whole area where he helps monetize their solutions and it's helped, and we're looking at that closely. We're working with three or four companies right now where we can have our resellers work directly with them and educate their end users on how they can monetize the solution, through advertising in certain verticals. Not all verticals are conducive to digital out-of-home, but most are.  So that's an important part of how we're going to help move products into places that normally maybe couldn't afford to put the right solutions in. I assume that there are all kinds of people in North America, the U.S. in particular, who are aware that they can buy stuff via AliExpress or whatever. But they've heard enough to know, yes, you can pay substantially less, but you have to cross your fingers when it shows up.  Is Illuminology positioned as a safe harbor way to do it? Like we're doing the sourcing, we've figured that part out so we could pass on those savings without all the worry. Jacob Horwitz: Look to me, those sites are a lot like a box of chocolates. You never really know what you're going to get when that product shows up. As I said, even with the sample we got from somebody yesterday not being the right display, UL, and approvals, we're not going to be a website where you can buy whatever you want. It's going to be very focused on innovation. It's going to be the same factories. As I'm sure you've seen I get if I get one I get at least three emails every day from some Chinese factory trying to sell you whatever and everyone is a nickel cheaper than the other and I think that's just Pennywise and quality foolish.  So we're not going to be that it's going to be the best for less, and if we can create this supermarket of visual solutions, and it's a great product and the pricing can hit the street to an end user, double-digit, less expensive, and we are distributing through companies that have reached where the traditional resellers aren't touching, then we think that will help expand digital signage across the U.S.  So these would be reached to like the sign companies you mentioned, maybe the point of sale technology companies, those kinds of companies?  Jacob Horwitz: I have a guy I talked to a couple of days ago who sells medical devices. Nothing to do with digital signage. He's out there every day selling blood pressure machines or whatever medical devices he's selling and in the last few days, I've probably talked three times to him now about the opportunity he has to do stuff in the medical world because he's already out there calling on places to put in screens and some LED posters. And, so I think it's all kinds of places that maybe haven't even thought about incorporating digital signage into their end-user business, and these people are now educating why being able to tell a story through digital is so much better than a static sign.  So yeah, it's been enlightening to see all the different verticals you can all of a sudden make inroads that you never thought about. Yeah. So many companies are just going down the same familiar path of chasing QSRs, chasing retail, and I've always advised people to look at those other kinds of companies that already have established trust with your target vertical who supply other things to them and partner with them. Jacob Horwitz: Yeah, it's been interesting. When I was doing the installation side, we did a lot of QSR, McDonald's, Burger King, Sonic, Del Taco, that type of stuff, and a lot of them have seen a few of the first initial posts we've done and they're calling and asking more of what we can do and I'm excited just about window technology whether that be an LED, a double-sided LCD hanging in the window of a fast food restaurant is so much more effective than printing two breakfast sandwiches for $5 and shipping it out to the store, hoping the manager puts it in the window during the promotional time. Half the time, three weeks after the motions are over, they still have that digital thing in there saying breakfast sandwiches or the static poster thing, and then at 10:30 when breakfast is over, they're still talking about breakfast sandwiches instead of talking about Value meals or other desserts or other things they could be buying during dinner. So it makes nothing but sense to have those assets in there.  But the people who are buying their outdoor digital menu board don't even offer that product. So we feel that a supermarket with a full set of solutions, in a C-store to be able to do a stretch screen and a gondola and still do their monitors over their register and doing their digital menu board and having things that inspire people to walk in from the pump into the C-store, we have that full range of product where a lot of people just don't have a full range of offerings to that.  When you say a full range of products, is it purely display technology, or does your supermarket have other things?  Jacob Horwitz: We do light boxes, which are just an aluminum extruded frame that hangs on a wall with backlit LED, but it's a fabric, you see them in every airport. So we do a lot of light boxes, and that's a very affordable and very effective solution. It's a static display, but it pops.  We are doing music. We have partnered with CloudCover. CloudCover is owned by SiriusXM, I believe, and Pandora, because we think that it's part of the whole experience, it's touching all the senses of when you go into that business, we think music is a really important part of branding your business. So there are several out there that are there. We've hitched our ride there on the software side. Because we have to support the dealers, we have, we offer two software platforms, and it's because of relationship and stability and they're the best. There's a saying, if you're the smartest guy in the room, you're in the wrong room and so we've partnered with people that make me where I am not even close to the smartest guy in the room. We love working with Navori. We think Jeffrey Weitzman is amazing. So we offer to our partners and we've worked aggressively to have a good distribution model in Navori to our partners and potential end users. So if I'm sitting in a room with Jeff Hastings, I'm not the smartest guy in the room anymore. So we offer BrightSign, and BrightAuthor, and the players we go with are either the Navori or the BrightSign players, and we offer that CMS. They're not. The cheapest CMS, you had a great interview with Alistair and what they're doing and I listened to you last night. So there are a lot of options, but we have to support the dealer network. So to be able to have a dealer that wants to go off and do a different CMS, we support that. They can send us software and we'll test it to make sure, particularly if it's going to be SOC, that what they're using is going to run properly on that version of Android. So we'll support them that way or just before we order the product, we'll go into our lab and throw that on, but we can't support that dealer network on how to use the CMS. We have BrightAuthor and Novori, and we're good, and then we have two full-time people thatwho NOVA certified. So on the LED side, we're no, we have NOVA-certified experts, so we can help them with Novastar. So we can support that, but we can't support every CMS. So we encourage them, especially if they need a 4-a-month CMS, then I think that Alistair is a great solution, and there are a lot of those types of companies out there. But that won't be us. We'll have a couple of CMS, we'll have the music solution and we hope we can create a visual experience and a sensory experience that when they walk into an end user that's bought a product through one of our resellers, that product's inspiring consumers to spend more money. You and Stephen are hands-on with this, but how many other people do you have working with you?  Jacob Horwitz: Oh gosh, I've tapped into a lot of my old employees in a lot of years, so Stephen and I have known each other for 30 years. For us, it's more passionate at this age. It's certainly not about really the money. This is because your wife said you need to do something.  Jacob Horwitz: After years of being in the house and driving her crazy every 10 minutes, she made it clear I will either go find a job, or I'll have to support her next husband. So that had a little bit to do with it. But Stephen and I are wired the same way. It's about quality. It's about good solutions. It's never been about trying to make money on this. I think it's helping people. The people that I've brought in, I have a Project Manager who worked for me starting 15 years ago, and now she's ahead of our marketing, Becca, and she's been with me for a decade and a half. The girl in my accounting department has been with me for over 15 years. I have a fragment in the house Legal who is my full-time in my old business and they've all been around at least 10 or 15 years. My CIO has been with me since 1999. So he was in college when he started. So we've got a good, like Stephen and I, that these are not newbies to this industry. One of my Project Managers started with me when we first talked nine years ago when she was a Senior Project Manager for Burger King. So, everybody that I've surrounded myself with so far, there's been at least a decade of hitting the shows, doing the installs, and that school of hard knocks. So have you got 20 people, 40 people? Jacob Horwitz: Right now, we're a team of maybe ten or eleven people. I have three people coming in next week for interviews after the experience center is open that are all industry veteran types and we're just getting started. The idea started in September. I went to Infocomm and then maybe I saw you and just started feeling the waters. We were going to launch in early January or February. We're a month old. The container of our showroom sat in Long Beach for six weeks before it got. It took longer to get from Long Beach to our offices than it did from China to Long Beach. So we're just getting started. But we're going to stay in a boutique. We don't want to be all things to all people.  Right, and they can find you online at Illuminology.com?  Jacob Horwitz: Illuminology.com and there's an online brochure of the product and we thank you. And Dave, I said this to you the other day, but I want to say it again. I need to thank you because, for everybody I've ever hired for the last decade, the first thing we have them do is go through your podcast and your blogs and learn about the industry, and what you do for us is so valuable and I mean that with all sincerity.  Thank you.  Jacob Horwitz: We hired a new sales guy and he started a month ago. He called me yesterday and said, Do you know this Dave Haynes guy? He didn't know, he did not know I had a podcast today. He goes, I am learning so much from him. And, I go, yeah, I'm chatting with him tomorrow. So thank you for what you do as well.  Thank you. That's very kind.  Jacob Horwitz: Very well deserved. So thank you for the opportunity to share our story and we look forward to working with the people in the industry, to help and expand digital signage into places that can be more like your Europe where it's everywhere. All right. Thank you!

Hoje a gente vai falar de um diretor que fraudou a Netflix em US$ 11 milhões, de um novo bug no YouTube, da marca de celulares Vivo que talvez esteja chegando no Brasil, do lançamento do Google Pixel 9a e também do Telegram falando que o WhatsApp não passa de uma cópia barata.

Brazil is an important and large market. It therefore makes sense to adapt global services to serve and accommodate specific markets, especially those as large and financially active as Brazil. Bettr, an AI-driven lending business under Ant International, announced its official launch in Brazil to expand small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) lending to support local and regional economic development by working with local partners. It formed a strategic partnership with AliExpress to bring a new financing solution, Bettr Working Capital, to local merchants operating on AliExpress. Bettr Finance Service for Brazilian E-Commerce launched Bettr Working Capital will gradually roll out, with the first batch of disbursements starting on March 17. As Latin America's largest digital economy, Brazil continues to experience rapid e-commerce growth, with millions of SMEs and micro-business owners thriving in this dynamic sector. However, access to financing remains a challenge for many, as SMEs' limited collateral, lack of standardized financial documentation, and other constraints make it difficult to secure funding. Bettr integrates AI-powered lending technology into the AliExpress platform to offer smarter and more accessible financing solutions. By analysing merchants' sales record and other unstructured business information from AliExpress, Bettr Working Capital provides affordable and tailored loan options, helping sellers access funds more easily to manage cash flow, grow their business, and expand into new categories. Leveraging AI, Bettr makes credit more inclusive. With alternative data-based modelling, it can conduct credit assessments quickly and accurately. Bettr is also enhancing its lending capabilities in compliance with Brazil's regulatory framework. AliExpress's deep e-commerce ecosystem enables seamless integration of financing solutions for sellers, allowing them to access the tailored credit product within its operational workflow through its merchant portal. Sellers can apply for flexible Bettr Working Capital via the "Financial Services" section in the AliExpress Seller Centre, with a simple digital application process featuring intuitive page interactions, real-time approval tracking, rapid fund disbursement and responsive customer service. With loan amounts starting from as small as BRL1,000, competitive interest rates, flexible instalment options and no collateral requirements, Bettr Working Capital is designed to reduce financing costs and ease the financial burden on SME borrowers. Merchants can access Bettr Working Capital on AliExpress Seller Centre, selecting loan amount and repayment options (*Actual credit line and interest rates are subject to the rates displayed in the system at the time of loan application.) "We are thrilled to launch Bettr's lending service in Brazil, a market with vibrant economy landscape and strong entrepreneurial spirit," said Quan Yu, General Manager of Ant International's Global Credit Tech, who also oversees Bettr's expansion in select markets. "Our partnership with AliExpress marks a meaningful first step in broadening financial access for local businesses, and Bettr looks forward to expanding this impact to more regions. SMEs make up the vast majority of businesses globally, yet many still struggle to secure the funding they need to grow. By harnessing the power of AI and collaborating with diverse local partners, we are dedicated to turning cutting-edge technologies into real and practical solutions with offerings like Bettr Working Capital, empowering SMEs to unlock new growth opportunities, drive innovation, and contribute to the real economy. This commitment lies at the heart of our mission to bring small and beautiful changes to the world."

The 16:9 PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY SCREENFEED – DIGITAL SIGNAGE CONTENT The work on the big Future Displays report and then ISE kind of threw me off my weekly podcast routine, but we're back now - with a couple of interviews recorded, and more that are scheduled. First up is Alastair Taft, a software developer based in Hobart, Tasmania - which for the map-impaired is a big island off the southeast coast of Australia. During COVID, he and another developer came up with a plan to use the windows of shuttered retail as projected surfaces for ads and other messaging. That business didn't really go anywhere, but the exercise led to them having a solid software stack to play out and manage media - which led to the commercialization and launch of Luna Screens. The company goes to market with this key, minimalist assertion: Really Simple Digital Signage Software. It's also, at less than $4 a month per device on subscriptions, really inexpensive. I chatted with Taft about what makes his platform genuinely simple, and how being lean and mean - and making the software bulletproof - makes Luna Screen's business approach workable. Subscribe from wherever you pick up new podcasts. TRANSCRIPT Alastair, thank you for joining me. Can you tell listeners what Luna Screens is all about, when it was launched, and the background?  Alastair Taft: Yeah, sure. Thanks for having me on. So we've been building Luna Screens for probably quite a while, probably about the last four years or so, but we only really started selling it about a year ago and what it is a really simple digital signage platform, that sums it up.  Why did you do this and why four years ago? You mentioned “we” so I assume there are other people involved. What was the thinking behind doing this?  Alastair Taft: Originally, it was a couple of us building it, a very small team. And originally it was something different, back during that great time around 2020.  We had this crazy idea where there was lots of closed down shops and shopping centers and if you walk through any of them they were dead and it didn't look too good, so we had this crazy idea where we would set up projectors in all these shops and put this photographic film on the windows project, either artwork or advertising, so we built all this software to do all that and it didn't go anywhere. It turns out we've actually built a pretty good digital signage solution here, so let's pivot a little bit. In reality, what we have now is a complete rewrite. It wasn't that much of an overlap, but that's how we ended up here.  You're a software developer by trade? Alastair Taft: Yeah, I've built quite a few things, mainly working for startups. So I've got quite a lot of experience building tech, getting lots of startups off the ground.  Yeah. I think I saw on your LinkedIn page that you're a full stack JavaScript developer, which I know what that means, but not totally. Alastair Taft: Yeah. It's just basically front end, back end, and everything involved in JavaScript. It's pretty ubiquitous.  You're in Tasmania, and it's only 7 in the morning there, so you're given a pass on being too fluid with your talking; you haven't had your coffee yet. Alastair Taft: That's true.  When you say it's really simple, I know what simple means, but how do you define that? Because there's any number of digital signage software, CMS platforms out there who insist that they're relentlessly intuitive, easy to use, all those kinds of terms. What is it about yours that validates that assertion?  Alastair Taft: I know this is probably what a lot of other platforms say too. We do think we are intuitive. When we say simple, that doesn't mean unsophisticated. But if you go on CMS and try it out, it is very simple. There are two things there. There's your screens and then there's your media library, and that's the only two things you have there. So you aren't overloaded with a million different configuration options. It's something you can get up and running quickly. There is a lot you can do, but that's the basic building blocks you get on there, you've got your screens and you've got your media library. And then there's way more powerful things you can do with your different media, with scheduling and playlists and all sorts, but that's the bare bones.  The yardstick for sort of industrial grade, enterprise grade platforms is scalability that, yes, it can be easy to use, but yes, we can also scale and we have the elasticity, we have the data behind it and everything else to be able to very efficiently, schedule it to a whole bunch of screens. Are you there with that, or are you more focused on the small to medium business market?  Alastair Taft: We are very scalable. I have a lot of experience building software that scales. For example, I've done some work for one of the largest supermarkets here in the past, and we've rolled out this personalized video that went out to half the country, so we can handle scaling with a software.  Market that tends to be small to medium size businesses, but that doesn't mean we can't handle hundreds of screens. What we can do is if you want to roll out the same content to hundreds of screens, you can create what we call a Playlist, and on the Playlist, you can either have it looping content. You could have one item if you wanted to, or you could have very complex rules that you layer. If you have some certain thing you want to show on a certain date, or you want to show some out of hours or business hours content, then what you can do is set your screens to play this Playlist, and then every time you change that Playlist, it will deploy it to all your screens automatically.  So when you were developing this, did you and your coding partner at that time put any time into looking at what other platforms did and how they were presented and the overall functionality, or did you just pretty much say, okay, this is the task, let's write something that addresses the task. Alastair Taft: Yeah, we did look at a bit of other platforms at the time. What we found is there's quite a lot of clunky tech out there. A lot of the CMSs just seem quite clunky to use. I know there are a couple that are quite good that are out now, but not when we started. How do you define clunky? What is it that you found clunky?  Alastair Taft: Oh, you just have this feeling when you use it, like you press a button and you have to wait like a year before it does anything, I think, or, you look under the hood and it's pulling in about a thousand different dependencies and yeah, it's not nice to use really. Yeah, it's one thing that I've spoken about a few times with people when they asked me about software platforms, and I said these days, if you are still releasing version 8 on the same software stack that you've been supporting for 15-20 years, I think that's troublesome, versus companies that are relentlessly modern and using whatever tool sets are available right now that can optimize what's possible. Alastair Taft: Yeah, for sure. It's a fast-moving place, front-end development. So you have to keep up to date all the time.  When you hear from customers, what's the impression you get from them in terms of what they want, and how does this meet it?  Alastair Taft: So we hear a lot of positive things from customers about how easy it is to use. We have quite a few coming over from other platforms saying, “Oh, we really like this. It's a joy to schedule content.”  Is that the big ask, just the ease of use?  Alastair Taft: For our customers, I think they find we're probably quite affordable compared to other CMSs as well, which I'm sure helps.  Yeah, you're a software as a service, right?  Alastair Taft: Yeah.  If I'm remembering correctly, your pricing was USD 3.75 a month per screen. Is that really per edge device?  Alastair Taft: That's right. Yeah. Per screen at $3.75, which I think is correct, but it makes us very competitive. I think there's only one other CMS that is that price.  The counter, not argument, but the question would be, okay, how do you make money at that?  Alastair Taft: We don't have all the bells and whistles like monitoring. Our focus is on a really simple platform to use for scheduling content and a reliable player and we're focusing on Android at the moment. So if that's what you need to do, we're a great option.  Android player, what flavor? I'm looking at the website and the minimum version is Android 7, and you're saying any Android media player or any device like I've heard through the years companies say, okay, now we have our own media player because we want to get away from trying to support all these rogues gallery of different players out there, everything from really good stuff to junk that costs $49. Alastair Taft: It's certainly a challenge supporting the different versions of Android. So it's a very hard thing to do, and we've solved a lot of things we've come across. But that is our goal. We want to support consumers' Android devices, and there's a lot of, I don't want to say tricks, but there's a lot of things you can do that we have to do to make them work reliably. You're also on the Google Play store. So, is that for Chrome OS?  Alastair Taft: No, it's for Android devices.  Oh, okay. So it's just how you would get the player.  Alastair Taft: Yeah, or you can either install via the Chrome Store or the Amazon app store, or you can download our APK off our website and install directly. You're on Fire Sticks as well? Alastair Taft: That's right.  Is that the official digital signage Fire Stick or the older ones?  Alastair Taft: I believe we're not part of the software that comes pre-installed, and you can't get the official signage Fire Sticks over in Australia yet, but I imagine we're on there if you search for us.    Again, your market, in many respects, are people who can't invest a lot of time and don't want to invest a lot of money in digital signage. So they want something affordable. It's not a big cost month to month, not a big cost front end, and it's gotta be dead simple so that they can sit down for half an hour or whatever it is a week to do things. Alastair Taft: Yeah, pretty much. I want something reliable. Like you said, I don't want to worry about it too much. Get something up and running. I don't have to think about it too much. Easy to use. That's where we sit.  You mentioned you don't have device management. Is that something that's nullified if you have a stable software stack, to worry around having device management?  Alastair Taft: Yeah, that's what we're going for. So you plug it in, it auto boots when you turn your device on, and it just keeps running. It's really simple, and it's a conscious choice. The more stuff we try and do, the more things that can go wrong. So we try to build a really simple solution that's just gonna stay up.  What would be a typical customer? Like, how would you describe them?  Alastair Taft: So I suppose the only correlation we have is the small to medium businesses, mainly the people that come to us. But we've got quite a few that kind of use it for their menus in their food shops, the menu boards, we've got quite a few that use this for that. There's no kind of one industry that we're gravitating to. We've got corporate environments. We've got builders, merchants, and adventure playgrounds using us - no correlation, really.  How are they all finding you?  Alastair Taft: Some people find us just through organic search. We do now and again run a few ads, and that's it, really, at the moment. We've got some other ideas in the works, but we haven't done them yet.  So it's all inbound. Do you have any outbound sales efforts?  Alastair Taft: No, we're very laid back, really, don't like the hard sales tactics for call people and harassing them. So we don't do anything like that with our pricing either. It's all very simple and straightforward.  Yeah. You're a software developer first, so having to do the sales and management side of this, I'm sure, is not your favorite part of the day.  Alastair Taft: Not really. I like being in the weeds with the tech. How do you manage, how do you balance that?  Alastair Taft: Yeah, it's a struggle. I keep it about 50-50. 50% on tech business and 50% on business development.  Is this the only thing you're working on, or are you still doing work for startups?  Alastair Taft: Mainly, this is the thing I work on. There's the occasional startup I help out on, but this is primarily my full-time job. I have the sense that as a software developer, if you love this side of what you do, you don't do version one and then just leave it. I suspect you're constantly iterating.  Alastair Taft: Yeah, improvements are being rolled out all the time. You'll never notice them because they apply automatically, but we're very careful about testing before we roll anything out, but there are always improvements happening.  Is it based on what you're seeing, or are you getting feedback from customers saying, Hey, it would be great if, if we could do this? Alastair Taft: Yeah, we get feedback all the time asking for X, Y, and Z. We can't do it all, but we collate and use it as a kind of indicator of where to go next. But we're always working on the core underlying thing. So there might not be a feature all the time, but we're making the tech reliable and doing as much as we can to squeeze everything we can out of our player. What about the security side?  Alastair Taft: So, for the accounts, we do something a little bit differently. We never ask for passwords. You log in for a magic link that gets sent to your email, so your email is the login. I think more and more people are doing that, but that means we don't ever store anybody's passwords, which I think is better and a screen can only access its content, and it has its kind of authentication that you set up when you pair it, and that all happens automatically.  I suspect that most of your client base are small businesses and some companies, workplaces, and so on, who maybe aren't thinking as much about security anyways, or are they like a larger company where they are concerned about it? Alastair Taft: I suppose the small businesses aren't really thinking about it, but we do everything to protect them. So yeah, screens can only access their own content, and the only way you can get into the account is via email. So everything's pretty secure there.  Is it always evident that you're using Luna screens, or do you have any partners who are white labeling your solution? Alastair Taft: So we don't advertise any of the white labeling options or any enterprise options, but we do have a couple of customers that do that. But predominantly, no, we don't white label, but it's something we can do.  There's been a lot of talk for several years now about the importance of APIs and how you need to be able to intermingle and work with other systems within a business. Are you doing that?  Alastair Taft: So we have a pretty easy-to-use API under the hood, but we haven't made it available to the public. It's something we probably will do in the future, but right now, the focus is on a reliable Android player and a really simple CMS.  Going back to the hardware, when Android first started being used for digital science media players, probably going back a dozen years, perhaps even longer. There were some good boxes. There were a lot of terrible boxes.  One of the biggest challenges with them was that they were moving targets in terms of the build and the electronics that were inside the little plastic shell. Is it better now? More stable?  Alastair Taft: There are some really good devices out there. For example, I've looked at the specs of the Amazon signage stick, and I've got comparable devices that I tested on myself and they work really well. So when we started, we were testing on the underpowered Fire Sticks because we figured if we can get it working on that, we can get it working on anything, and yeah, there is a big difference between devices depending on what specs you have.  So, for example, with the underpowered Fire Stick, you wouldn't want to be running 4k video on it. It wouldn't perform so well. So you do have to get a decent box for what you want to do, but if you just want a slideshow of images, it'd probably be fine, right?  When you get new customers and they say, “Hey, this is great. We want to go; we're looking at your screen, and it says you support Android. What do we buy?”  Do you give them recommendations on different devices that are reliable?  Alastair Taft: Yeah. So we were recommending it because we want to run on consumer stuff, and we were recommending using the Chromecast because it's not too expensive, and it's a pretty good piece of hardware, but that's now been discontinued, I believe, so like you said, we probably will shortly offer our own box just as an option. So people can get something that's going to work well without having to think about it too much.  Amazon signage sticks and all those devices, I believe pretty much all of them come from China and you can find some good boxes if you know what you're looking for on the Chinese websites like AliExpress and Alibaba. They are the same ones that Amazon orders anyway, except they're not as expensive, even though they're pretty cheap as they are anyway.  I'm curious about the state of software development when it comes to AI and I keep reading stories about software as a service platform being at risk because Agentic AI, the idea that you can just get AI to write an agent that's going to do everything you need it to do, is going to take the place of a lot of, particularly the more expensive, like CRM systems and all that sort of thing if you can get AI to just write something that serves your needs. Do you see that as a threat? Is that more just people prognosticating as opposed to having a real good sense of what's possible?  Alastair Taft: So I might differ in opinion to what a lot of other people will say here, but no, I'm not worried. If you ever see what code AI can produce, it'll create you more problems than it will solve and if you, imagine roughly how it works, the AI creates the next likely code in the sequence. So if you're writing some code, AI will figure out what you're the next based off, breaking it down to tokens, and figure out what the next piece of code is to write. It's been trained on everything available on the internet.  So if you want to create something mediocre, use AI because it will be the average of what else is out there.  Whatever you think of it, It's come a long way in about a year and a half in terms of capabilities. Do you see a point when it will get good, or does it just have fundamental limitations?  Alastair Taft: I think we're hitting the limit because how it works is that it creates the next token in the sequence, and it'll have a matrix of, possible combinations, but every time you add like a new dimension to that matrix, you're exponentially making the computation bigger and bigger, so at some point, there's just no way this can get any better.  So in terms of Luna screens, what's the size of your footprint? Are you in like thousands working with thousands of devices, hundreds of devices? You've only been at it for a year.  Alastair Taft: So yeah, we're pretty small. Our customers are probably in the hundreds, we've probably got around a thousand screens we manage. So, yeah, early days, but we're going in the right direction, growing every day. So that's a good sign.  Is most of that business now in Australia?  Alastair Taft: No, it's all around the world. There's no one country that seems to gravitate, we've got quite a few customers in the US, quite a few in Canada, lots in Europe, quite a few in Australia too.  Does it present a problem at all in terms of customer support or everything's email and if you write it correctly, you don't have a lot of support issues? Alastair Taft:  That's the plan. If an issue comes up, we provide help straight away, and we look at how we can make this happen again. Okay. So the support effort is generally quite low, which is, I think, good. It's a measure that our customers aren't hitting issues, which I think is good. Yeah, you don't want a 40-person call center that gets expensive.  You're down in Tasmania and Hobart, not a part of the world I've ever been in, and I understand it's beautiful. Is there much of a tech scene down there?  Alastair Taft: It's got some quiet achievers down here. There's a company called Procreate that makes this awesome software for tablets for artists to do drawing and they, you don't hear much about them down here, but they're huge. They're all over the world. So yeah, there are some quiet achievers down here.  And you've always been down in Tasmania? Alastair Taft: I'm originally from the UK, I came here about 10 years ago. Oh, that's a big change.  Alastair Taft: Yeah. Although if I could go anywhere, this is probably the most English Australian place I could have gone to. The weather's the same. They drive on the same side of the road.  The weather's the same?  Alastair Taft: Pretty much, yeah. When you think of Australia, you think of it as really hot, but Tasmania is the furthest south you can go. Yeah, you're as close as you're going to get to Antarctica, right?  Alastair Taft: Yeah, but it's not cold, it's very similar to English weather.  Oh, I didn't realize that. Was that an unfortunate discovery?  Alastair Taft: Yeah, I landed up here by chance cause I was coming here for work, but, if I had a choice, probably should have gone somewhere a bit sunnier. Yeah, it could have been in Queensland or something like that.  Alastair Taft: Yeah. Although not at the moment, they've got a cyclone there, but yes.  True. Alright, Alastair. Thank you. That was terrific. Very interesting to hear about your company.  Alastair Taft: Great. Thanks for having me on. Great to chat. 

La inteligencia artificial es el nuevo escenario en el que se baten las grandes compañías. Un duelo que le depara al vencedor grandes subidas en Bolsa y le reporta grandes beneficios. La última en aparecer en escena Alibaba: la compañía de comercio electrónico china lanzó este jueves su nueva versión de su herramienta de inteligencia artificial. Esta estará impulsada por su propio modelo de razonamiento Qwen AI. Y es que la competencia es feroz no solo en el plano internacional: la irrupción de Deep Seek sacudió a las grandes tecnológicas y con Qwen AI Alibaba espera ponerse al frente de las aplicaciones de IA. La inversión en inteligencia artificial de la compañía será cuantiosa. Alibaba anunció hace un mes que invertiría más de 50.000 millones de dólares en los próximos tres años. Aunque las inversiones y los planes no solo las hará por sí solo: la compañía china llevará a cabo una alianza estratégica con Butterfly Effect. Cómo pasa con todas las empresas del gigante asiático, tiene un ojo puesto a las medidas arancelarias de Donald Trump y a las respuestas del país asiáticos a estos gravámenes. Alibaba es una de las múltiples empresas chinas que se pueden beneficiar del plan que presentó el gobierno la semana pasada: de los subsidios que recibirán los ciudadanos, el 15 o el 20% serán para la compra de algunos productos seleccionados como móviles u otros electrodomésticos. Una de las grandes prioridades del Gobierno sigue siendo aumentar el gasto en consumo. El ejecutivo chino busca revertir las malas ventas minoristas del año pasado, que crecieron un 3,5% frente al 7,2 % del año anterior. Otra de las grandes asociaciones que tiene la compañía es con Apple: hace un mes, las dos firmas llegaron a un acuerdo para que Alibaba desarrolle los servicios de inteligencia artificial en los Iphone vendidos en China. Esto hizo que sus acciones subieran a máximos que no se veían desde 2022. ¿Dónde está el límite de crecimiento de la compañía de comercio electrónico? Alibaba es un consorcio privado chino que posee 18 subsidiarias con sede en Hangzhou dedicado al comercio electrónico en Internet. El empresario chino Jack Ma fundó el portal electrónico en 1999 y hoy es la web que más operaciones mueve entre empresas que desean comprar productos. En 2010, la compañía dio un paso más allá y fundó Ali Express, para conectar con compradores particulares.

El modelo de Dropshipping ha ganado popularidad como una forma accesible de iniciar un negocio rentable en el mundo digital. Sin embargo, su implementación en Latinoamérica presenta desafíos únicos que han llevado a adaptar estrategias específicas. Jose Naicipa, empresario, mentor de eCommerce y especialista en Dropshipping, comparte su experiencia para construir un negocio exitoso en este mercado. “El Dropshipping en Latinoamérica no se puede hacer igual que en Estados Unidos, donde montas una tienda en Shopify o WordPress y mandas productos desde AliExpress o China, directamente al cliente final”, explica Jose. Los tiempos de entrega eran muy altos en Latam, de aproximadamente 30 días, pero la solución llegó con plataformas como Dropi, que almacenan productos en bodegas locales y reducen significativamente los tiempos de entrega. Sin embargo, la logística puede ser un reto en ciertos mercados. “En Colombia funciona muy bien, pero en México, donde intenté entrar, el modelo de contraentrega tiene problemas. Muchas veces la gente rechaza el producto y te cobran el flete, lo que resulta en pérdidas”. En Latinoamérica, una de las principales barreras para el comercio electrónico es la desconfianza hacia las transacciones online, lo que ha llevado a la adopción masiva del sistema de contraentrega en el modelo de Dropshipping. Este enfoque permite que los clientes realicen el pago al recibir el producto en su domicilio, eliminando el riesgo percibido de ser víctimas de fraudes o de pagar por un producto que nunca llegará. Según nuestro invitado, esta modalidad representa el 95 por ciento de las transacciones en la región, adaptándose a las particularidades del mercado local y brindando una solución efectiva a la falta de confianza. Para Jose, los costos de adquisición en la región son mucho más bajos que en Estados Unidos, lo que abre grandes oportunidades: “Hoy el mercado de Colombia en el Dropshipping está como estaba hace 5 o 6 años en Estados Unidos. Estas plataformas se encargan de toda la logística, lo que facilita mucho el proceso”. El éxito en Dropshipping depende también de identificar los nichos correctos. “El segmento que más me gusta es el de belleza, porque las ventas en este modelo son por impulso y este nicho funciona muy bien para eso. También me gusta el segmento de hogar y el de tecnología”, comenta nuestro invitado. En cuanto a la rentabilidad, Jose detalla cómo los márgenes pueden ser muy atractivos: “Lo lindo del Dropshipping es que uno está invirtiendo en el costo de la publicidad. Por ejemplo, si vendes un producto a 10 dólares, te quedas con 2 dólares e invertiste 1. Eso significa que tu rentabilidad es del 50 por ciento. No pagas por el producto hasta que lo entregas”. Jose también destaca la importancia de contar con un mentor y presupuesto inicial: “Hoy un mentor cuesta entre 2 mil y 5 mil dólares, pero te dice exactamente qué hacer. Recomiendo tener entre 300 y 1,000 dólares para empezar con los testeos, encontrar el producto indicado, escalar y repetir el proceso hasta estabilizar tu negocio”. Instagram: @josenaicipa
