If you’re coming @mmerge_io , here are a few things you might want to know to enjoy the city like a local. São Paulo is intense, but if you know where to go it becomes something quite magical <3 A few weeks ago my friend @ohdatskate told me she was visiting São Paulo for the first time. As a proud Brazilian, of course I wanted her to fall in love with the country. So I did what any slightly obsessive friend would do. I opened Claude and built her a small curated guide w all my personal recommendations. Food spots, cultural experiences, neighborhoods, wellness and a few Brazilian essentials. And then I thought, if I already built one, why not refine it and share it with the community coming for Merge? So this is essentially (hope) that guide. Not the usual tourist list ~ more like free museum days, sport classes, great food, neighborhoods to stay and the little Brazilian things that make the city special. 🏙️ bit.ly/lit-spguide

🚨𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: @nubank bought the naming rights to Inter Miami CF’s new stadium. The Brazilian FinTech with 131M customers has signed a multi-year naming rights deal with Inter Miami’s new $350M, 26,700-seat stadium, opening this April. Financial terms weren’t disclosed, but the previous naming rights deal reportedly topped $10M per year, meaning this is likely a low eight-figure annual sponsorship. A few months ago, rumours suggested the deal could be worth around $19M per year, roughly $190M over the full term 🤯 The Inter Miami stadium naming rights commitment is part of an effort to accelerate Nu’s growth in the U.S. Its filing for a U.S. federal bank charter with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in September 2025 received conditional approval about four months later. The U.S. organization will be led by Nu’s Brazilian co-founder Cristina Junqueira, who has relocated to America to oversee the business. Thirteen percent of Brazilians living in the U.S. live in Miami. 𝙁𝙪𝙣 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙩: Nubank is now the second Brazilian digital bank with MLS stadium naming rights, after Inter&Co in Orlando. Fintech × Sports marketing is becoming a serious playbook.
