I´m a Senior Associate at Flori Ventures, an impact VC fund investing in early-stage startups in emerging markets, primarily in Latam and Sub-Saharan Africa. We back entrepreneurs focused on creating an inclusive financial system and finding solutions to climate change. My role involves seeking new opportunities for the fund and helping portfolio companies with their economics and scalability. I’m involved in their go-to-market, partnerships and fundraising (equity, venture debt, structured debt, etc.). In my role at Credit Collective, I´m responsible for managing private debt and market-making strategies on-chain. Before Flori, I co-founded two companies: - Simpol, was a wallet to hedge against local currencies in Latam, which ultimately passed through the LUNA crash; fortunately without any customer losses due to our risk management procedures. - Shalder, was a talent marketplace to connect gig workers with North globe opportunities.
