A bolha das startups que estourou em 2021 levou a um período de reavaliação de investimentos e ajustes no mercado. Com isso, o modelo de Corporate Venture Capital as a Service ganhou força, permitindo que as corporações gerenciassem fundos personalizados sem necessidade de expertise interna. A recuperação da confiança no setor é evidenciada pelo crescimento expressivo dos CVCs e pelo otimismo cauteloso dos fundos de investimento, que agora seguem critérios mais estritos e buscam sinergias comerciais claras ao escolher startups para investir.Participantes:Guilherme Skaf Amorim, Head de Inovação e Parcerias, Wayra.Apresentação:Cassio Politi, Apresentador, Tracto.Ceres Mussnich, Business Development Manager, Mazars.

O ecossistema fintech presenciou um período de grandes investimentos entre 2019 e 2021, com forte atividade de fundos de Venture Capital, altos valuations das startups e extrema euforia. Contudo, a escalada das taxas de juros nos Estados Unidos e todo o contexto pós-covid trouxe uma forte ressaca para o mercado, fazendo com que os investimentos minguassem. Assim, em 2022 e 2023, vimos um ritmo fraco de aportes e os fundos de Venture Capital exigindo uma redução da queima de caixa pelas startups investidas e movimentos mais objetivos rumo à lucratividade de suas operações. Neste episódio do Fintech Talks Podcast, falamos com Renato Valente, Sócio-diretor da Iporanga Ventures – fundo de Venture Capital focado no futuro das finanças. Falamos sobre as perspectivas relativas a investimentos em fintechs para 2024 em diante. Além disso, discutimos o cenário de Corporate Venturing no Brasil, considerando a atuação pregressa do nosso convidado como Diretor Geral da Wayra, braço de relacionamento com startups da Telefônica. *** Quer saber mais sobre as próximas fronteiras do segmento fintech?

La Junta Electoral Central ha resuelto que los viajes reservados antes de la convocatoria de los comicios —el 29 de mayo— sí servirán de excusa para evitar formar parte de una mesa electoral.

Wayra Paz, médica boliviana radicada en México, ejercía allá su profesión de manera satisfactoria. De pronto decidió volver su país, Bolivia, pero se encontró con la falta de empleo en un área tan especializada como la suya, y un sinfín de paradojas: miles de médicos desempleados y miles de médicos necesarios. Wayra se dedicó a investigar lo que sucedía específicamente en lo suyo: la epidemiología. Y no pudo ser más oportuna, porque de la noche a la mañana se desató en el mundo la pandemia por el Covid-19. Wayra estaba preparada y ya había avanzado convenciendo a sus colegas de la urgencia. En tiempo récord,nlograron terminar la construcción de un enorme hospital que contuvo, en gran medida, semejante emergencia en dos ciudades, El Alto y La Paz, con más de 3 millones de habitantes. ¿Se reconoció el trabajo? Claro que no. Pasada la emergencia, ella y muchos colegas médicos que se jugaron la vida, fueron despedidos. La historia de Wayra Paz es una de las 10 seleccionadas en la convocatoria "Trabajo, empleo, chamba" de Rascacielos junto al Centro de Estudios para el Desarrollo Laboral y Agrario CEDLA, y el apoyo de la Embajada de Suecia para hablar del #empleo en #Bolivia a través de distintas trayectorias laborales.

Geografien i mitt liv er alarmerende | Podcast   Nama Jafari: Hvert ord du leser her, er skrevet i en overgangstilstand av bevissthet mellom våkenhet og søvn. Hver tone du lytter til her, har blitt komponert under overgangstilstanden av bevissthet mellom våkenhet og søvn. Tankene mine er påvirket av delirianter; En gruppe hallusinogener som antagoniserer funksjonen til acetylkolinreseptorer. Som om de selv i lave doser har en sterk hallusinogene effekt. Å lytte til denne lydfilen har samme effekt som å bruke delirianter. Delirianter skiller seg fra andre hallusinogener som psykoaktive og dissosiative stoffer. I motsetning til andre, intensiverer eller undertrykker ikke delirianter bevissthet. De manipulerer bevisstheten. Mine lyddelirianter manipulerer selvbevissthet og den resulterende hallusinasjonen er dyp og ekte. I motsetning til hallusinasjoner indusert av psykoaktive eller dissosiative stoffer, ligner hallusinasjon indusert ved å lytte til min lydmiks en sann drøm. Det betyr at før full hallusinasjon oppnås, blir effektene realisert av forskjellige sanser og varsler personen om å oppleve hallusinasjon. Hvis jeg blir kvitt demonene mine, vil jeg miste englene mine.

 | Geografien i mitt liv er alarmerende | Dikt | To silkeormer har laget kokongene sine i ansiktet mitt Jeg ser på dem om natten når de er distrahert høyt, høyt gråter de De forvandler seg fra sorgfull til sorgfull, fra sorgfull til vanlig, fra vanlig til ødelagt De forvandles til vintervind som bærer sår De slipper sårene, og jeg, fra dypet av kroppens gravplass, husker at innenfor dagens rynker, forverres vennene mine på bunnen av fengslene Jeg husker formen til en kvinne, hvis blod i ansiktet hennes ble spredt på gatens bitumen i antidiktaturprotester, som duften av en hyasint Jeg husker at krigen var menneskers død. Jeg husker og blir kald Og de illeluktende hellige versene, spre den dissekerte klumpen i halsen min over de grå skogene Jeg kom tilbake til de to silkeormene som har laget kokongene sine i ansiktet mitt Jeg blunker og tømmer tankene mine som var i ferd med å falle fra hverandre på grunn av det enorme antallet minner, så jeg kan begynne på nytt Fra skrapmetaller, datakoder, tynne senger Fra seilskutene, hvite byer med klynger av blomster Fra hjerteverk, musikalske noter strømmer på klutene Fra min gravstein der det står skrevet, var livet skremmende. ……………………..
 | Samtale | Som forfatter og direktør for dette podcastlaboratoriet beundrer jeg den moderne rapmusikken. Personen som presenterer seg selv i denne episoden, kjenner innholdet i rapmusikk, poesi og tekster, samt melodi og rytme. Bak hvert trinn i produksjonen og gjennomføringen av musikken og videoene hans, er det en ny idé. Stykkene han har komponert engasjerer sinnet. Rapmusikken for min ånd er som presise geometriske former, modig og med lyse og mørke farger. Rapmusikk gjenspeiler hverdagen, og vi må svare på oppfordringen fra hverdagen vår. Wayra Taqui Rosas snakker om rapmusikken sin og livet hans. Lytt til Wayra!
