Fascinating insights from Roberto Campos Neto, Vice Chairman of Nubank and former President of the Central Bank of Brazil, on what it takes to win in today's rapidly evolving market. He shared a powerful perspective during a recent panel: "I think the winner has to do two things. First, you create an ecosystem that is so powerful that the marginal cost is very high... And the other is that you have an AI that is so powerful that he doesn't want to leave." This highlights the dual imperative for businesses: building indispensable ecosystems and leveraging advanced AI to create unparalleled user stickiness. A truly thought-provoking vision for future success! What are your thoughts on this strategy? How are you building your ecosystem or integrating powerful AI? #Innovation #AI #Ecosystem #Fintech #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #CentralBank

Alex Bettamio, Global Head of Investment Banking at Bank of America, shares a compelling vision for Brazil's future. He emphasizes, "Brazil does have some uniqueness, right? We are, by far, the best grid in the world for clean energy in a world that desperately needs power." This perspective underscores Brazil's critical role in addressing global energy demands and its potential as a leader in sustainable solutions. #Brazil #BankofAmerica

Valor Capital Group was honored to host André Esteves, Chairman of BTG Pactual, for a fireside chat at our recent summit, where he provided an outlook on Brazil's macro-political landscape. Esteves discussed BTG's growth to become the largest investment bank in Latin America, emphasizing the importance of fiscal discipline and an independent central bank. As Esteves wisely put it, "bad companies need good governments. Good companies go even with bad governments". The conversation also covered the transformative impact of fintech and digital banking on Brazil's financial sector. We are proud to facilitate such critical dialogues shaping Brazil's future. #ValorCapitalGroup #BrazilEconomy #BTGPactual #FinancialInnovation

At our 13th Summit, two panels — featuring leaders from Bancomext & NAFIN, Tecnológico de Monterrey, IDB Invest, the World Bank, IFC, and the U.S. DFC — converged on a shared message: the Americas are entering a pivotal moment where collaboration, innovation, and faster capital deployment must move in sync. Across the conversations, Carlos Botello, Omar Morales, Diana Alarcón, Mohamed Eissa, and Conor Coleman underscored the same themes: strengthening regional integration, accelerating financing for entrepreneurs, and enhancing public-private coordination to unlock long-term growth. As James P. Scriven, CEO of IDB Invest, highlighted, “This can only happen through partnerships — it can’t happen on our own.” At Valor, we firmly believe this. Building bridges across the Americas is essential to driving innovation and shaping the region’s next wave of growth. #ValorDay #Innovation #VentureCapital #LatinAmerica #DevelopmentFinance #PublicPrivatePartnerships #Entrepreneurship #MexicoTech #RegionalIntegration

Up next at the #ValorSummit2025! We just wrapped our exclusive LP reporting presentation and now welcome the Valor founders and network to participate in the event for a series of inspiring panels. During the morning sessions, Valor Managing Partners Paulo Passoni and Carlos Costa gave an overview on Valor's early stage and growth investment strategies. Check out some quotes below!

Carlos: "The result is that life is too short, so hopefully you spend your time with companies that can matter, that can truly define a generation, that can define an industry, that can inspire a lot of future entrepreneurs"

Scott: ""Take this formula, apply it in your own way, because if you do, you will not just build something successful, you'll build something that matters."

Good morning! Bom dia! We are kicking off Valor's 13th Annual Summit at the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream! As usual, we will post a couple of highlights and updates from the event along the day. To start off the day, Scott Sobel, co-founder and CEO of Valor Capital Group, delivered an inspiring opening, sharing the "human formula" behind Valor's success. As Scott wisely put it, "Nothing meaningful is built without a healthy obsession." A powerful start to a day focused on driving enduring impact and superior returns. #ValorSummit #VentureCapital

Scott: "Diplomacy is the art of advancing with others and not against them, influencing through empathy, putting yourselves in others' shoes, understanding and going after the pursuit of your common interests."

Scott: "If obsession was my engine, balance would be my steering, and diplomacy my roadmap."

We're proud to lead @PointsVilleApp's Series A and join them in building the infrastructure for the next era of capital markets. Let's go! 🚀

Sen. Bradley: "If you don’t have a clear set of values in what you believe in, then there is no certainty in direction because you are buffeted by whatever is the deal of the day or the deed of the day. So for me, I like to begin with "what are the values that you follow?""

Final panel and closing remarks by Scott Sobel! Ray Chambers, Ambassador for Global Strategy & Health Financing for the WHO & Valor Board Member had an inspiring conversation with Sen. Bill Bradley, former US Senator and Presidential Candidate, on Bulding a Better Future!

Sen. Bradley: "It is all about curiosity of other people. What makes people tick, what set of values are they guided by?"

Altagracia: "We are working with the business community, and we believe that this is the way to move forward. We want to take advantage of a short term opportunity without compromising the long-term”
