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!
