In our latest episode of the Wharton Fintech podcast, Miguel Armaza is joined by Hernan Kazah, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Kaszek Ventures, the largest venture capital firm in Latin America, with over $1 Billion dollars of raised capital. Kaszek was launched in 2011 and has invested in more than 75 startups, including at least 5 unicorns. Prior to Kaszek, Hernan co-founded MercadoLibre, the largest technology company in Latin America which is also listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market with a current market cap of over $43 Billion. Here, he worked for 12 years, nine as COO and three as CFO. Hernan received an MBA from Stanford University, and graduated magna cum laude in Economics from the University of Buenos Aires. In this fascinating interview, Hernan shares: - His entrepreneurial journey from zero to a Nasdaq IPO. What led him to Co-Found MercadoLibre with Marcos Galperin and some of the major challenges they faced along the way. - Almost 40% of Kaszek's portfolio is concentrated in Fintech companies and they continue to be extremely bullish on the industry. Technology has opened new opportunities for the financial sector, which has allowed fintechs to vastly expand in a sector with historically-low customer penetration. Tech has also allowed some of their portfolio companies, like Nubank, to build widely scalable platforms. - Kaszek's investing approach. Why the founding team is the most fundamental piece of a startup and why a third of the teams from Kaszek's first fund would not make the cut today. - COVID-19's impact on their portfolio. Why most Fintechs haven't been too affected nor have greatly benefited by this crisis. - Fintech sector focus. The main reasons why Kaszek is interested in backing Financial infrastructure companies and why this sector presents one of the biggest opportunities in Latin America. - Peculiarities and challenges of VC investing in Latin America and Emerging Markets. - And much, much more…

We have a new series of minisodes on American Unicorns called Tell Me Something Weird. This is a segment where…

Hello and welcome back to another week of NTIO, with your hosts Shane (aka the Ring Master) and Kenny (aka Head Clown). This week we talk about a guy who climbed to the top of a church to throw things at the people below. Then we discuss Kenny's desire to not only shoot someone but his desire to shoot first, in any situation. Then we close with a story about the craziest party story we have where someone gets naked and not in the good way. This week we shouted out Gamer Science Underground , Stuff With Andy Podcast and American Unicorns. And we spun promos for In Poor Taste Podcast and Gareth's Random Ramblings So check out the show and tell everyone at work about it. Maybe you go into your bosses office and tell him about this badass podcast that you listen to called Now That I'm Older. Maybe he loves it. Maybe you get that raise you've been hoping for. Then again, he may fire you for trying to expose him to Kenny. On second thought, don't tell the boss.
