🧵To kick off the year I’ve teamed up with my friend @Pat_Travels at @endeavor_global for a special double episode on Pakistani fintech startup @abhikaropk. Abhi is one of the most exciting fintech startups in the Middle East today and one I'm personally invested in. I've watched the company grow rapidly in the last two years and expand across product lines and geographies. Pat and I sat down with Abhi CEO Omair Ansari a few weeks ago to learn about the founding story of the company. Link to the episode in the thread below! On top of the podcast episode we also put together a full-length breakdown of Abhi’s business model and market opportunity. Link to the breakdown in the thread below! Check them out and let us know what you think!

London is dope but I’m way too poor to live here. Can’t wait for the Series B secondary

@just_norm @DerinAdebayo @endeavor_global Great having you over!

Endeavoring with @DerinAdebayo + @Pat_Travels in NYC 🗽

@HarryStebbings @marceloclaure @snyatta Considering that bicycle is a growth fund, curious on the different paths to liquidity they are seeing for LatAm founders going forward and how they will get to the multiples they need for their fund, also would be interesting which funds they see at par to co-invest with

Tomorrow we have @marceloclaure and @snyatta in the 20VC studio to discuss @Bicyclevc. This will be an epic one. What are the must asks? What do we have to discuss? Twitter, work your magic...

To new (old) beginnings! After 6 years of living in Chile, I have relocated together with my small family to New York to take on a new tour of duty for Endeavor focused on Network Management.  The past 6 years in LatAm have been anything but extraordinar…lnkd.in/eV9cXSxy

Quick note on The Enthusiast: Founders & VCs beyond the Valley newsletter! I came to realise that LinkedIn's newsletter function is at times unreliable, hence Constanze and I are doubling down on Substack as the go-to platform to…lnkd.in/g9ANnBZc lnkd.in/gR4uxG7y

@snyatta Wondering about the role demographics play in this, especially when looking at Japan & Germany which appear to lose the most out of all countries in the Top 10

A reminder that we're living through a particularly significant period of economic reshuffling towards the "East" and "South"

Presenté estampado electronico vigente y solicité cedula dentro del plazo correspondiente Necesito viajar fuera del pais en pocas semanas por ende necesito mi carnet nuevo

@RegCivil_Chile @RegCivil_RM Hola! Cuando solicité la renovación de mi cédula, la persona que me atendió puso incorrectamente como observación “no esta habilitado” pero era porque revisó por mi RUT en vez de numero de pasaporte - Eso demora la entrega? Ya se acabó el plazo

Always when I read these kind of news I am wondering whether to see this as an opportunity or another indicator of the widening gap between Latin American economies and the world… bloomberglinea.com/english/latin-…

I am so angry. And sad, and scared. Just remember, WE did this. Collectively. If you did the right thing, and kept your $ at SVB, you're being f'ed. If you did the wrong thing, and moved your money, you f'ed thousands of startups and people you've never met. Why can't we ever come together as an industry? This was so easy to avoid.
