Tu abuela usa Zoom, tu escuela usa Zoom, tu gimnasio usa Zoom, tus amigas usan Zoom. Lo que no sabías es que la app de videoconferencias que estalló en popularidad en la crisis del coronavirus probablemente no existiría sin el apoyo temprano de un inversionista argentino. Santi Subotovsky, socio de Emergence Capital en Silicon Valley, fue el primero en apoyar al entonces desconocido y ahora famoso CEO de Zoom, el inmigrante chino Eric Yuan. Y lo ayudó a crear una empresa que hoy cotiza en Bolsa y vale más de 35 mil millones de dólares. Hoy, Santi nos cuenta la historia de Zoom y por qué cree que la próxima Zoom va a venir de un emprendedor hispanohablante.
