Professional Goals & Objectives

– VCs often feel that their ability to help the teams they invested can be directly related to their network of entrepreneurs, partners, lawyers, financial professionals, universities, and labs. I can be that bridge of market knowledge and domain expertise to help identify generational opportunities. – Having both domain and regional knowledge can bring a fresh perspectives to innovative business models through the cross pollination of ideas, backgrounds and expertise. – Despite the VC industry’s proliferation in LatAm over the past years, the deployment of capital is far from uniform throughout the region. This creates opportunities for investors to fill gaps in potentially overlooked markets. There is an increased role VCs with regional knowledge can play in attracting foreign capital and getting foreign investors familiar with the nuances and opportunities in their home markets. – LP’s in the region normally look to invest in Funds they have established a trust-based relationship with. I can reach a large amount of investors within my network who have invested in previous projects where I have collaborated in.
