Venture capital growth in Latin America has been nothing short of remarkable, especially in recent years 💸💥 From 2008 to 2017, the region's entire VC industry attracted about $3 billion in investments. Despite the modest sum, these investments generated an astounding $130 billion in exit value. Fast forward to 2021, and LATAM saw VC investments explode to $60 billion in just one year. It’s clear that the region's tech scene is on fire and everyone’s paying attention. Join us as we break down this explosive growth with Andre Maciel, founder of Volpe Capital and former managing partner at SoftBank Latin America. Volpe's current and former portfolio includes the likes of VTEX, CRMBonus and Atlas Governance and Connectly.ai We discuss 👇🏻 1️⃣ AI’s big bet: why the application of AI is a critical factor in unlocking productivity in Latin America?  2️⃣ The $700B question for Meta, Google and ByteDance: why Brazil is big tech’s most wanted market? 3️⃣ The 2021 exit gap: How LATAM VCs missed a golden opportunity to deliver LP Returns? 4️⃣ The path forward: How can Latam cultivate a robust local LP market? 5️⃣ LATAM vs. Silicon Valley: What sets their founders apart?
