Interview: Valor Capital's Michael Nicklas

Fintech & Crypto in LatAm, Cross-Border Investing & Evolving Geopolitical Risks

Hey all, Jason here.

In this episode, I had the chance to sit down with Michael Nicklas, Managing Partner at Valor Capital Group, a Brazil-based cross-border venture fund. Valor’s fintech and crypto portfolio companies include cross-border payment and trade finance network Hamsa, crypto exchanges Bitso and Coinbase, and stablecoin infrastructure company Circle, among many others. Michael and I had the chance to talk about:

  • Unique aspects of Latin American that shape the market for financial services

  • The role the Brazilian central bank plays in fostering progress and innovation in financial services in the country (yes, that includes Pix)

  • What Valor means when it describes its investing strategy as being “cross border”

  • How Valor takes into account evolving geopolitical risks as it considers its investing approach

  • And more!
