El baile frenético y los ritmos de la salsa son parte nuclear de la esencia caleña, tierra de músicos, poetas y contadores de historias. La escritora Ángela Becerra nos guía en un gran paseo por sus recuerdos y los barrios de esta capital del Valle del Cauca. Una ciudad rebosante de vida y verde que mira hacia el Bulevar del Río, siempre amenizado por el rumor de sus aguas y poblado por una entrañable colonia de felinos esculpidos. Nuestra visita a Cali pasa junto a la pequeña y llamativa iglesia neogótica La Ermita, la siempre animada plaza de Caicedo y el colonial barrio de San Antonio. Nos interesamos también por zonas de su agreste extrarradio como la Comuna 20, un barrio informal colgado en la montaña al que llegamos a bordo del teleférico MIO Cable, integrado en el sistema de transporte público. Y después de recorrer esta urbe colombiana de más de dos millones de habitantes salimos en busca de los Farallones y otros entornos naturales del Pacífico colombiano. Nos acompañan el vicepresidente de turismo de Procolombia, Gilberto Salcedo; el secretario de turismo del Valle del Cauca, Julián Franco Restrepo; y la directora ejecutiva del Cali Valle Bureau, Catalina García Sterling.

For this week on the Crossing Borders podcast, we're revisiting one of our greatest hits episodes featuring Pedro Pablo del Campo, Partner of Magma PartnersPedro Pablo del Campo is a Chilean entrepreneur and the newest addition to our Magma Partners team. Born in Punta Arenas, one of the most Southerly cities in the world, Pedro Pablo traveled the world in his youth since his father was in the Air Force and then a commercial pilot. From a young age, Pedro Pablo was eager to be involved in early-stage enterprises and has gone on to founding or join early teams of several startups and nonprofits bridging the US and Latin America. In 2016, he joined the Techstars team in Austin as the Business Development Director for Latin America, a position they created just for him.Pedro Pablo has now brought his passion for supporting Latin American entrepreneurship to Magma, where he will be helping manage our portfolio and evaluating future investments for the fund. In this episode, we discuss Pedro's non-traditional career path, his start in the nonprofit world, how a cold email got him connected to the Techstars network, and what he thinks of the maturing Latin American entrepreneurial ecosystem.Never be afraid of relying on your network Pedro Pablo used to think he knew everything about starting a business until he founded his first company after university. Soon, he realized he knew nothing and that he would have to surround himself with mentors and other successful entrepreneurs in order to succeed. That lesson carried him on to his time in the US when he realized that New York is a lonely place for an entrepreneur without a network.Listen to this episode of Crossing Borders to find out how Pedro Pablo built a network from scratch in each of the cities he has lived in, from Santiago to New York, and finally in Austin. It's all about adding value, says Pedro Pablo. When you have given someone a bit of value, they are often happy to help you when you need it.The key to bootstrapping a business from Chile? Find the right partnersAfter coming back from New York, Pedro Pablo knew he wanted to find something for himself. He co-founded Visualogica, a design firm, with three co-founders; however, he quickly side-stepped to become CEO of a vending machine company, leaving his partners in charge. This opportunity allowed both businesses to be successful in the end, and the vending machine company was even acquired.Learn more about Pedro Pablo's experience building a company from the ground up and how he leads a team in this episode of Crossing Borders.The art of the cold emailPedro Pablo reached out to the Chief Investment Officer at Techstars in a cold email while caring for his son at home while his wife studied her PhD. He wanted to tell them about the value of connecting the Latin American and US ecosystems and hoped the global accelerator would pay attention. Using his contacts in Chile, Pedro Pablo provided a network for Techstars in Latin America and helped the accelerator expand, before they had even offered him a position. His advice to new founders: never be afraid of cold emailing people, no matter how high up they are.Find out how Techstars invented a new position for Pedro Pablo so he could help them bring Latin America into one of the largest and strongest entrepreneurial networks in the world.Pedro Pablo is passionate about the potential global impacts of the growing Latin American entrepreneurial ecosystem. He has lots of ideas about how to build the ecosystem, including partnerships with corporate partners in the US and LatAm that will allow for bigger acquisitions that could shape the industry. Listen to this episode to hear Pedro Pablo's predictions for how entrepreneurs from Latin America could disrupt established markets in LatAm, the US, and beyond.Outline of this episode[1:59] – Where are you working in Austin?[2:27] – Pedro Pablo's childhood in Punta Arenas and Santiago[4:04] – Did traveling at a young age impact your perspective on the world?[6:32] – Studying business in Chile[7:07] – What was your first experience with an earlier-stage company?[9:35] – What were some of the biggest takeaways from your time at Late?[10:28] – What did you do after Late?[12:40] – Doing business in New York vs. Chile[15:11] – Why did you go back to Chile after New York and what did you end up doing there?[17:44] – Why “boring” businesses are a good investment[21:02] – How did you end up in Austin?[26:24] – How did you create your own role at Techstars?[31:42] – Biggest lessons from working at Techstars[35:50] – How to motivate corporations to pay attention to entrepreneurship without using fear[40:36] – On Falabella's acquisition of Linio[43:54] – What are some of your favorite books, blogs, podcasts, or documentaries you would like to recommend?[46:30] – Pedro Pablo's advice to his younger self[47:18] – What are you most excited about working on to help entrepreneurs in LatAm with Magma over the next 6-12 months?Resources & People MentionedTechstars acceleratorStart-Up ChilePuro Chile – Chilean shop in New YorkLateVisualogicaNever Split the Difference (BOOK) – Chris VossVenture Deals (BOOK) – Brad FeldStartup Communities (BOOK) – Brad FeldAlex Iskold's BlogThis episode is brought to you by ProColombia, the agency behind the many products and services of Colombian origin that share flavor, design, creativity, quality, and well-being with the world.

For this week on the Crossing Borders podcast, we're revisiting one of our greatest hits episodes featuring Luis Rubén Chávez, founder and CEO of Zenfi.Luis Rubén Chávez, co-founder and CEO of Zenfi, is changing the way people in Mexico think about financial health. Zenfi is a complete digital finance platform focused on lending that strives for the financial health of its customers. With more than 2.5 million users, the platform provides customers with tools to build a consistent long-term financial plan. Zenfi offers an app that reviews clients' credit bureaus for free. They provide personalized diagnostics, tips to improve the customer's profile, and identity theft alerts. Also, Zenfi helps those who need a personal loan, debt consolidation, or car insurance by reviewing their information and recommending products according to their needs.Before starting Zenfi, Luis Rubén worked in finance for eight years. He witnessed first-hand its inefficiencies, high concentration, and sometimes abusive practices that don't help the user in the longer term. Banks offer 60+ products and services but execute poorly a large percentage of them, and fintechs are filling this gap in the market. With the new fintechs that are emerging, Luis Rubén thinks Mexico will have in 5 years a completely different financial system.Listen to this episode to hear how Luis Rubén is raising awareness about the inefficient lending system in Mexico, what Zenfi is doing to provide a healthier alternative for people, and how the company is expanding its services by offering a marketplace of financial products. Diversifying the financial system in MexicoBanks own the credit bureau in Mexico, which reports only negative credit ratings of individuals. The five largest banks in Mexico hold 80-85% of the country's consumer portfolio, and this high concentration means there is little to no competition. Many financial institutions have conflicts of interest and few incentives to build better data and technological products and services. Mexicans perceive credit scores as a black box, filled with misconceptions that lead them to make adverse choices. Luis Rubén was part of the problem working within the financial system, but in this episode of Crossing Borders, he explains how he is now part of the solution.Demystifying credit scores for Mexico's populationZenfi's most attractive product is its free credit score check. The company analyzes the customer's information and provides them with a complete and user-friendly diagnosis. Also, it gives useful and detailed information such as the impact that each variable has on the score, and parameters to understand your strengths and weaknesses to see what you have to improve. The company has nailed a feature that millions of Mexicans need in an inefficient system that has few incentives to help them maintain a good credit score.Listen to this Crossing Borders episode to learn how Zenfi will continue to attract millions of users to its platform.A marketplace for financial productsUsers needed a bigger picture for making a long-term personal finance plan, so Zenfi started offering a marketplace where fintechs sell, for example, their mortgage, insurance, and credit card products. Zenfi's marketplace shows the best financial products that its users can have access to. Zenfi's lending criteria sometimes cannot give users a loan, so the company refers them to another fintech where they might have a product that serves them. Check out this episode of Crossing Borders to understand how Zenfi is taking a hybrid approach by offering its products and a marketplace with the best fintechs in Mexico. Outline of this episode:[01:09] - About Zenfi[02:10] - Zenfi's credit scores[03:22] - Misconceptions and inefficiencies of the credit scoring system[05:20] - Zenfi in numbers[08:47] - Luis Rubén's background[11:10] - Why is the traditional financial system stalled?[15:30] - Zenfi's fintech marketplace[19:31] - The fintech ecosystem in Mexico in the last 5 years[25:10] - Reading recommendations[28:01] - Advice for a younger Luis Rubén[31:45] - The future of ZenfiResources & People mentioned:Luis Rubén ChávezNathan LustigZenfiBook The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of AmazonBlog by Paul GrahamThis episode is brought to you by ProColombia, the agency behind the many products and services of Colombian origin that share flavor, design, creativity, quality, and well-being with the world.Learn more about Colombia's diverse offers by visiting https://b2bmarketplace.procolombia.co/
