The firm launched in 2011 and over time they’ve made early-stage investments in companies such as Nubank, QuintoAndar, Kavak, Creditas, and Nuvemshop.Before becoming an investor, Hernan Co-Founded MercadoLibre in 1999, an online auction and e-commerce platform that later went public in 2008.

During our conversation, we spoke about the growth of Latin America, making the shift from a company builder to a full-time investor, and how founders and investors should think about the capital-scarce market we are navigating today.
