Elena Burger is joined by a16z's Angela Strange and Gabriel Vasquez to discuss the rise of the "borderless founder": entrepreneurs who bring the networks and insights of their home markets together with the talent, capital, and speed of Silicon Valley to build global companies. Angela and Gabriel trace how a16z's international investing efforts grew from early work in Latin America into a broader global network, and why AI has accelerated the flow of founders and talent between Silicon Valley and startup ecosystems around the world. They explore the advantages borderless founders can bring, from differentiated talent networks and early customers to strong local brands and communities that help open doors across markets. They also discuss how founder diasporas can function like powerful alumni networks, why spending time in Silicon Valley can help founders recalibrate around speed and ambition, and how the next generation of global companies may increasingly be built across multiple countries from day one.

El episodio 122 llegó con secretos, conspiraciones y oportunidades que nadie está viendo.Arrancamos con el Mundial. Lucas no puede aceptar que Argentina jugó mal y eligió creer en todas las teorías conspirativas. La más elaborada: un pacto entre Infantino, la UEFA y los Kushner donde Argentina se dejó perder a cambio de no sancionar a la AFA y darle el negocio de la FIFA a un nuevo vehículo de inversión valuado en 20 billones. La lógica detrás de Thrive, el fondo de Kushner, es fascinante: creen que con AI el mundo digital se va a saturar y el futuro está en las experiencias en vivo. Deportes y conciertos primero.Después viene el dato que nadie dice en voz alta: una de las fintechs más grandes y conocidas de Latinoamérica hace una parte importante de su plata con apuestas online y pornografía. Está vista como una fintech innovadora. El negocio real es otro.También hablamos de la ronda semilla más grande de la historia de LatAm: 85 millones de dólares para Decade Wealth, fundada por el ex-CTO de Nubank, con Benchmark como lead. Un movimiento que apuesta a democratizar la banca privada en la región donde históricamente fue terrible.Luego el debate sobre emprender después de los 50. Jeff Dean, empleado número 30 de Google y responsable de DeepMind, Gemini y TensorFlow durante 27 años, acaba de anunciar que se va a emprender. La conclusión: los mejores emprendedores de 50 son los que llegaron al máximo en su campo, no los que recién arrancan.Mickey Malka, uno de los inversores más importantes de LatAm, publicó su nueva tesis de inversión de 40 páginas. Su diagnóstico: el mundo se quedó sin energía para soportar la AI. Su apuesta: generación, almacenamiento, traslado y comercialización de energía son el próximo gran mercado. El mismo que fue fintech, ahora va por la energía.Cerramos con 7 oportunidades concretas que AI está abriendo para emprender: soledad, desconexión, longevidad, nuevas necesidades de la vejez, micromercados ultra específicos y el tiempo libre que la AI va a generar. Una lista para guardarse.

In this episode of the Women Emerging Podcast, Julia Middleton sits down with Fatou to explore one of the most profound influences on how we lead: growing up with poverty as part of our essence.For Fatou, poverty is far more than a lack of money. It is a way of seeing the world that can shape generations, convincing people that scarcity is inevitable and possibility is out of reach. Drawing on her own journey—from growing up in poverty in Africa to studying at Harvard and teaching at MIT—she reflects on what it has taken to challenge those deeply embedded beliefs and discover a different way of leading.Together, Julia and Fatou explore how experiences of scarcity can lead to overachievement, burnout and an overwhelming need for control. They discuss the difference between leading from fear and leading as a steward, why personal transformation must come before public influence, and how confronting our deepest fears can become the foundation for wiser leadership.This is a deeply personal conversation about identity, resilience, responsibility and the courage to imagine possibilities beyond the circumstances we inherit.About the Guest:Fatoumata (Fatou) Fall is an entrepreneur, a business coach, and strategist who helps top scientists and executives in tech overcome fear and self-sabotage at the moments that matter most in industry: the negotiation table, the public stage, and high-stakes business trips.As co-founder of Teamrora, she facilitated over 400 negotiation coaching sessions co-creating a cumulative $5 million USD in wealth transfer to candidates. She also trained more than 1,000 professionals, opening doors for underrepresented talent in tech and business along the way.A Harvard-trained mathematician and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, she blends analytical rigor with a deeply human approach to coaching. Fluent in five languages and shaped by her work across Africa, LatAm, and the U.S., she helps professionals walk into these rites of passage with clarity, confidence, and cultural intelligence.
Davi Strazza spent a decade at Adyen as the company scaled from around $30 billion to over $1.3 trillion in annual payment volume, running Latin America and then North America as president. Today he is Chief Business Officer at Lightspark, the company powering over 15% of Coinbase's Bitcoin transfers.In this episode, Reggie Young talks with Davi about what actually moves enterprise payments decisions. They cover why inertia keeps trillions on legacy rails, how challengers find their wedge against incumbents, what Pix's adoption in Brazil reveals about changing payment behavior, and how Lightspark uses Bitcoin and stablecoins as invisible infrastructure for global money movement. Davi closes with the risk he thinks fintech still underweights: the compliance work underneath every product that scales.Fintech Layer Cake is powered by Lithic, financial infrastructure that helps teams build better card and payments products for consumers and businesses.Chapters: 00:00 – Cold open: most money still moves in fiat 00:21 – Meet Davi Strazza: Adyen, Lightspark, and $1.3T in volume 01:56 – Latam vs. North America: relationships vs. pragmatism 04:33 – Why enterprises don't rip out legacy processors 06:19 – Redundancy, and finding your wedge as a challenger 07:56 – Changing the org before the org wants to change 11:31 – What Pix taught him about shifting payment behavior 13:12 – Why it takes an Uber to teach consumers new payment habits 15:43 – What Lightspark powers, from Coinbase to cross-border payouts 18:42 – Global Accounts: offering the endpoint, not just the transfer 20:18 – Making Bitcoin invisible: the rail-agnostic thesis 24:10 – Selling infrastructure while the rules are still being written 27:53 – Why you no longer need to be Stripe to build in fintech 30:02 – The next decade: fiat and crypto converging 33:09 – Stablecoins are earlier than the headlines suggest 34:34 – The underrated work: compliance that scales 37:23 – Where to find LightsparkNothing in this podcast should be construed as legal or financial advice.Subscribe for new episodes every other Wednesday.

Uno de los caminos más efectivos para alcanzar resultados extraordinarios y sostenibles en el tiempo es un factor que muchas organizaciones aún subestiman: la felicidad. La felicidad de las personas no debe entenderse como un beneficio adicional, sino como una auténtica estrategia de negocio capaz de impulsar el compromiso, la innovación y la retención del talento.

IMTS is 1.2 million square feet spread across six days, and the average visitor only spends about 2.7 of them on the floor. That math is exactly why walking in without a plan means seeing a fraction of what you came for. In this episode we sit down with Bonnie Gurney and Michelle Edmondson from AMT, the team that builds IMTS, to talk through how to actually get value out of the biggest manufacturing show in the country. We're about six and a half weeks out and registration is running 29% ahead of 2024, so the energy is real. Bonnie and Michelle break down what's new for the 100th anniversary show: the 10 technology sectors, the Industrial AI arena with 40 first-time exhibitors, a bigger defense presence, and a conference lineup, from Elevate to the job shop and LATAM tracks, that too many people still treat as a hidden gem. We also make the case for why you should go even if you're not buying this year. As Mike puts it, you don't have time not to go. You go to see the solutions you'll need in two or three years, the way he spotted a machine tending robot in 2018 and finally bought it in 2022. And this year, a plan-my-route feature built into the floor plan app is a genuinely practical use of AI. There's plenty happening on the floor too, from the main stage schedule and the 100-year history of the show to the machine tool we're giving away with DN Solutions and Kennametal. Mostly, though, this is a conversation about showing up prepared and getting the most out of your days in Chicago. If you're heading to IMTS 2026, this is the planning conversation to hear first.

E por fim, deixamos o alerta ligado para o avanço do Super El Niño 2026, com 81% de chance de ser "muito forte", exigindo a manutenção preventiva e a vedação rigorosa da cadeia do frio para não derreter as margens do seu negócio.Entre os destaques:

Why you should listenJim Marascio runs Equals 11 with roughly 30 direct team members, yet delivers Salesforce work with on-demand access to more than 600 certified engineers. He breaks down the exact staffing partnerships in LATAM and Europe that let a lean business play far larger than its headcount.Learn how to move up the value chain from tactical delivery to consultative "what if" conversations: the shift that raises deal value, creates more interesting work for your engineers, and turns you into the trusted advisor a client cannot swap out.Get Jim's front-end planning approach (milestones, definition of done, clear ownership, agreed success metrics) that keeps projects out of the 40% of implementations that stall on activity without results.You want to take on bigger Salesforce work, but every larger project means hiring people you cannot afford to keep on the bench, so you stay stuck delivering most of it yourself. In this episode, I talk with Jim Marascio from Equals 11, who spent 25 years as a CIO and CTO of SaaS companies before building a delivery business that runs on a lean core team and plays far larger than its size. We get into the moment he stopped being the tactical fix-it vendor waiting for clients to define the problem, and started becoming the strategic partner clients build their roadmap around. Jim also puts a number on it: roughly 40% of implementations break, and the difference between the ones that deliver and the ones that stall comes down to what you do in the first week. If you are the owner doing too much of the delivery and you want to grow capacity without betting the business on payroll, this conversation is your blueprint.About Jim MarascioJim Marascio is the founder and CEO of Equals 11, a certified Salesforce consulting partner that helps mid-market companies get real value from Salesforce long after go-live. With more than 25 years as a CEO, CIO, and CTO, he has built his career managing distributed teams, and today Equals 11 pairs a lean core team with a network of 600+ certified Salesforce engineers across the US, Latin America, and Europe.

JP Morgan, Bank Of America, BOFA, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo y Citigroup serán los grandes nombres de la semana junto con el gigante del streaming, Netflix. Los analistas esperan que el S&P 500 registre un crecimiento interanual de beneficios del 23,1% para el segundo trimestre de 2026 (abril-junio). Si se confirma, será la segunda vez consecutiva que el índice supera el umbral del 20%. En la agenda de la semana será clave la comparecencia de K. Warsh, el jefe de la FED ante el Congreso y los datos de IPC. En la tertulia de mercados de Capital Intereconomía Melanie Lange, directora de Federated Hermes Iberia; Gonzalo Rengifo director general de Pictet AM en Iberia y Latam; Mariano Guerenstein, Co-Head de Clientes Institucionales y Ventas en Bank J. Safra Sarasin y Silvia Merino, Sales Manager en Fidelity International analizan qué esperar de la campaña de resultados y si servirá de catalizador de nuevos máximos; la rotación sectorial y el papel de la tecnología en las carteras, así como las expectativas en tipos de interés y en qué activos, región y temáticas ven valor.
En Capital Intereconomía, la Tertulia de Mercados reúne a Melanie Lange, directora de Federated Hermes Iberia; Gonzalo Rengifo, director general de Pictet Asset Management para Iberia y Latam; Mariano Guerenstein, Co-Head de Clientes Institucionales y Ventas de Bank J. Safra Sarasin; y Silvia Merino, Sales Manager de Fidelity International, para analizar las perspectivas de los mercados en la segunda mitad del año. La mesa debate sobre el inicio de la temporada de resultados empresariales y si las cuentas que presenten las compañías serán el catalizador que permita a las bolsas alcanzar nuevos máximos. También analizamos la rotación sectorial que se está produciendo en los mercados y el creciente interés por las compañías de mediana y pequeña capitalización frente a las grandes tecnológicas. Además, los expertos valoran cuáles son sus previsiones para los tipos de interés y qué impacto pueden tener sobre las distintas clases de activos. La conversación también pone el foco en las regiones, sectores y temáticas donde encuentran las mejores oportunidades de inversión, así como en el papel que pueden desempeñar los activos ilíquidos para diversificar las carteras y reducir el impacto de la incertidumbre geopolítica. Por último, repasamos la preapertura de las bolsas europeas junto a Patricia García, socia fundadora de MacroYield y directora del Máster en Finanzas de ESIC Business & Marketing School, que analiza las principales referencias económicas y empresariales que marcarán el arranque de la sesión.

En este episodio de #CMOLatam hablamos con Luis Godínez, CMO de Levi's, con más de 15 años de experiencia en marketing dentro de la industria del retail.Una charla sobre liderazgo, manejo de personal y lo que realmente significa dirigir marketing en mercados globales. Hablamos de:Por qué medir el retorno del branding dos veces al año no es un ejercicio académico — es la forma en que un CMO educa al CFO, al CEO y al resto de la organización sobre lo que hace marketing, antes incluso de poder ejecutarlo.El brief estratégico como el lenguaje de negocios que conecta marketing con el resto de la empresa.La importancia de localizar sin perder la esencia global de la marca.Lo que aprendió dirigiendo Nike México, donde lograron el share más alto del mundo en el negocio de mujeres — medido en proporción del negocio total, no en dólares absolutos._________________________________________________________________________CMO Latam es el podcast de Naranja Media donde Daniela Arias conversa con los líderes de marketing de las empresas más relevantes de Latinoamérica: estrategia digital, liderazgo empresarial, brand marketing y las decisiones reales que construyen marcas desde adentro.
Amiguitos, ¿cuántas veces han escuchado que la riqueza es mala, que los ricos son malas personas, que el ser humilde es mantenerse bueno? Si ustedes crecieron escuchando ese discurso es muy probable que sea una de las causas por las que no sean millonarios. En este episodio platicamos con Fernando Gonzáles (Insta: @fernandogonzalezmentor) quién es el representante en LATAM de Robert Kiyosaki (Autor de: "Padre Rico, Padre Pobre) y con la Doctora Estela Durán (@esteladuranphd), quienes nos dieron cátedra acerca de lo que la programación mental puede generar en nuestra vida diaria, y ahora en especial, en nuestra vida económica.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Analizamos a fondo la realidad detrás del sistema financiero LATAM y cómo funciona verdaderamente el juego del dinero. Javier nos revela de forma cruda por qué los grandes bancos se benefician de la falta de educación financiera en países como México, y expone las grandes falacias de la clase media: la obsesión por comprar casa como inversión y la ilusión mal entendida del ingreso pasivo. Descubre cómo proteger tu patrimonio de la silenciosa devaluación del dólar mediante la correcta alocación en instrumentos eficientes como CETES y por qué tu mayor activo financiero hoy en día eres tú mismo. Conversamos sobre cómo la inteligencia artificial está transformando el empleo tradicional, obligándonos a desarrollar ingresos activos y proyectos paralelos sustentables.

¡Aquí va!El episodio 120 llegó con datos que incomodan y verdades que nadie quiere decir en voz alta.Arrancamos con el tema que más horas mentales le está consumiendo a Lucas: la guerra de tokens. DeepSeek, el modelo open source chino, cuesta 40 veces menos que Anthropic para hacer inferencia con el 94% del mismo resultado. Meta, Uber y Walmart ya están limitando el uso de AI de sus empleados. Y por primera vez en la historia, los modelos chinos usan más tokens globalmente que los occidentales. La pregunta que nadie puede responder todavía es cómo van a ganar plata Anthropic y OpenAI cuando salen a bolsa si sus costos de inferencia son insostenibles a escala.Después Cristóbal nos trae un resumen de 145 slides del reporte de Carta 2025, el más completo del ecosistema de startups. Los datos más llamativos: el 35% de los founders son hoy solo founders, el doble que hace 10 años. El primer hire tarda en promedio 500 días. El 92% de las rondas se hacen con SAFE. Y en Serie B los founders se quedan apenas con el 25% de la compañía entre todos. Los números hablan solos.Luego viene una historia que parece de película: Plata, el neobanco mexicano fundado por los rusos de Tinkoff después de que la guerra con Ucrania los sacara del sistema Swift. El CEO oficial es italiano, el CEO real está en su megayate, consiguieron licencia bancaria en 6 meses cuando Nubank tardó 4 años y ofrecen 10% de cashback. Nadie entiende cómo es sostenible. Y sin embargo está creciendo.También respondemos la pregunta de si el foodtech tiene casos de éxito. La respuesta es sí, pero casi nadie los conoce: Gruns vendido a Unilever por 1.2 billones, Poppy vendido a PepsiCo por casi 2 billones, 7Foods vendido a Pepsi por 1.2 billones y Legendary Foods, la obsesión personal de Lucas, que hace comida chatarra proteica que no sube el azúcar. Cristóbal identifica los tres segmentos donde siempre hay compradores: bebidas alcohólicas, maquillaje y alimentos funcionales.Cerramos con el tema más esperado por la audiencia: los unicornios zombies de LatAm. Loft, Quinto Andar, Tienda Nube, NotCo, Clip y otros. Cuáles tienen chance de sobrevivir, cuáles están muriendo en silencio y por qué es casi imposible saberlo desde afuera si no tenés acceso a los números reales.

Brian Samson knows a harsh truth about the current American economy: if you run a service business right now, the math is brutal. Labor is incredibly expensive, turnover is high, and finding reliable operators can feel like a full-time job.But Brian has a cheat code. After years of running talent acquisition for hyper-growth, VC-funded tech startups in Silicon Valley, Brian took his high-level recruiting playbook and applied it to a local locksmith and cleaning company in Hawaii. The result? He completely revolutionized his hiring process by tapping into the nearshore talent pool in Latin America. Today, Brian runs Plug Tech—a nearshore staffing agency pushing $8M in ARR—and he is pulling back the curtain on how small business owners can leverage global talent to generate massive ROI.If you are struggling to scale because you are drowning in admin work, scheduling, or operations, this episode will completely rewrite how you think about building your team.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The VA vs. EA Paradigm Shift: Why you should stop hiring Virtual Assistants to do simple "tasks" and start hiring nearshore Executive Assistants who anticipate problems and drive strategy.Latin America vs. Asia: The cultural and operational differences between offshoring to places like the Philippines (process-driven) versus nearshoring to LatAm (spontaneous and creative problem-solvers).The Price-to-Value Arbitrage: Why paying a top-tier nearshore employee $1,500/month or an AI engineer is actually a massive bargain that can generate seven figures of value for your company.The $100 Interview Test: Brian's foolproof, paid-test framework to filter out bad hires, test real-world skills, and guarantee you're bringing on an "A-Player."Tags: Hiring, Entrepreneurship, Business scaling, Service & ConsultingResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcastFollow Our Second Channel Here: https://next.upflip.com/spotify Connect with Brian: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briansamson
In this episode of the Tech M&A Podcast, we chat with Luis Landgrave, co-founder of Algebraix, an edtech and fintech company serving private schools across Latin America, with a primary focus on Mexico. Over nearly two decades, Luis helped build Algebraix into a school management platform with an integrated fintech arm that processes tuition and payments on behalf of schools — momentum that ultimately led to a successful sale through Corum after years of inbound interest from investors and acquirers. Luis shares how a Corum seminar in Mexico City planted the seed nearly a decade before he was ready to sell, and how an early deal that fell through made the second, advisor-led process far smoother. He offers candid advice on the demands of financial due diligence, the importance of getting your reporting in order before going to market, and the emotional discipline required when deal terms shift mid-negotiation. He also reflects on the realities of post-exit life — from deferred payments and multi-year earnouts to the reduced control and renegotiation that can come with a two-year transition. Takeaways Plant the seed early: A Corum seminar in Mexico City sparked the idea nearly a decade before Luis was ready to sell — selling was always the goal, never a legacy to pass down. The turning point can be a business-model shift: Adding payment processing around 2017–2018 accelerated revenue and made the company far more attractive to buyers. A first attempt that falls through still teaches you: A 2021 approach from a Brazilian acquirer didn't close, but it made the second, Corum-run process much smoother. A competitive process improves terms: Even with just one official offer, having other interested buyers in play tightened the LOI and held due diligence to a 90-day timeline. Due diligence is the heavy lift: For founders who are engineers rather than finance experts, producing the reports that PE-background buyers demanded was the most taxing part. Get your numbers in order first: The more prepared your reporting and financials, the less pressure and rework once offers start coming in. Align with your partner and stay centered: Selling is an emotional rollercoaster as terms move on and off the table — shared objectives keep you steady. Plan for the transition: A two-year earnout means deferred payments, reduced control, and even some renegotiation — know what you're signing up for.
