TL;DR: I'm opening (way) more slots for new mentees, to support people affected by the floods at the south of Brazil. 100% of mentorship fees until Sep/24 will be reverted to organizations supporting people affected by the floods. - If you're interested, DM me. - If you know someone interested, refer me to them. - If I was a good mentor/leader to you in the past, share this post Long version: This May, massive floods devastated Rio Grande do Sul, my home state in Brazil. Over 2 million people were impacted, with hundreds of thousands displaced and in need of shelter. While the water recedes, the road to recovery will be long. Many lost everything and lack the resources to rebuild. Rebuilding will take a long time, and those who lost everything need a helping hand. I want to help. And to do so, I'm opening up more slots for mentees who want to take their careers to the next level: building high-performing teams, mastering new skills, and becoming the leaders they want the world to have. Also, until September, 100% of my mentorship fees will go directly to organizations aiding flood victims. So how can you help? - Looking for a Mentor? Send me a DM and let's chat! - Know Someone Who Needs a Mentor? Refer me to them! - Past Mentee or Leader I Helped? Share this post! Let's reach more people and maximize the impact Let's work together to support those affected while building stronger IT leaders! #mentoring #aid #support #leadership

Layoffs: Learnings from the toughest moment in our history at Nova Yes, in late 2022 we also had to do a major round of layoffs. In our latest issue of Talent First, we explain how we did it and what we learned. Like many other startups and tech companies, we had grown too big for our revenues in 2022. We thus had to go over the most painful experience as an entrepreneur: having to lay off people who did not deserve it to save our company. Over time, anyone in a management role will be faced with the challenge of having to fire an employee because of a lack of fit or performance.  However, facing a big round of layoffs because of a company’s need for survival is a whole other thing. In our case, the causes of the round of layoffs were a combination of our bad decisions as founders and a failed investment round which did not materialize for reasons we could not control. However, there are 5 key learnings for us from this experience which can prove useful for other entrepreneurs and leaders: 1. Make layoffs way tougher than you believe it’s necessary. Otherwise, like we did and many entrepreneurs end up doing, you will have to do a second round which is even more painful. 2. Understand that role changes take time. Do not use role changes to save jobs or do it thinking that people will take 6 months to be productive. 3. Be extra clear with communications. Never communicate in public things that are “maybe” happening. 4. Fundraising does not end until you get the money in the bank. Yes, investment rounds get cancelled with a Term Sheet signed and a Due Diligence done more than you can expect. 5. It's cash that kills companies, not negative EBITDAs. Manage your cash above all.

A Major Milestone in Technology in Brazil and… in My Career 🚀 I am thrilled to share a significant achievement: I led the delivery of the FIRST PUBLIC TOKENIZED COMMERCIAL INVOICE (Nota comercial) in Brazil at Liqi Digital Assets! 🎉 When I joined Liqi just a few months ago, after three years deeply involved in the blockchain market, my goal was clear: to develop projects that drive innovation and transform the Brazilian financial market. After just four months, I am proud to announce that my first project was: THE tokenization of a commercial invoice! And… it was a resounding success! What We Achieved: 🔹 Tokenization of R$ 40 million (≈ 7 million dollars) in commercial invoice: We transformed a traditional debt instrument into 40,000 tokens, each representing R$ 1,000. 🔹 Automation and Reliability: We encoded all business rules and legal contracts into smart contracts, designed for the next five and a half years. The payment of debt installments is fully automated, ushering in a new era of efficiency in financial operations. 🔹 Innovation in Post-Fixed Debt: For the first time, Liqi implemented a post-fixed debt using Fact Finance’s oracle, which brings information from a Brazilian market index directly to the blockchain, ensuring reliability and accuracy in indexing. 🔹 Efficiency and Security: We utilized blockchain technology and smart contracts to ensure a transparent, secure operation with significant cost reductions. 🔹 Democratized Access: We facilitated investment access for a broader range of investors, promoting financial inclusion and greater market participation. Special Thanks to: 🌟 Liqi’s Technology, Product, Marketing and Business Teams: Daniel Coquieri, Fabio Santos, André Pina, Persio Flexa, Karen Lopes, Marcio Ribeiro, Victor Yen, Fernanda Garanhani, William Fabre, Thiago Santos, Jose Airton, Felipe Prado, Gabriel Moreira, Izabella Ribeiro, André Gomes, Hudson Salles, Jorge Claudio, Philippe Lima, Leonardo Alexandre, Raine Bernadoque and Claudia Bukowski, Gabriel Ferreirinho, and Flavia Jabur. Without the dedication, innovation, and expertise of every team member, this project would not have been possible. When we work with purpose, focus, and unity, innovative results emerge. You were simply exceptional! 🌟 Our Partners: Itaú BBA, Oliveira Trust, Laqus, and VBSO Advogados. The collaboration between our teams was crucial to the success of this initiative. 🌟 CVM: For creating a regulatory environment that enabled the realization of this innovative offering. This achievement is a powerful testament to how technology can transform traditional sectors and create new opportunities. I am immensely grateful for the trust and the effort of the team who worked tirelessly to make this a reality. This is a milestone not just for Liqi, but for the entire Brazilian technology market.

Next week we will host our first 4Founders Forum Brazil at Google Campus Sao Paulo. There are still a few spots to join us :) https://lnkd.in/eFfkducS In 2017, 99% of Latam Funds, Accelerators, Governments, and Institutional Organizations though the most relevant part of a successful ecosystem was promoting entrepreneurship and supporting early stage. It has been a great journey since then, when almost no one believe that the ecosystems where in fact transformed by a few huge successful startups accompanied by a big liquidity event, to these days when almost everyone believe it. We have hosted forums in Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, including some of the top players in the startup world way before they were involved at anything in Latam, and some of them, even today are not active in the region, like Kleiner Perkins, Accel, Khosla Ventures, among many others. Our goal has always been facilitating growth and success for startups, and we will continue to do so now with our own fund DSV10 - Dissent Ventures. Excited about whats coming, and the community of 1,000 founders we have built in Latam, now, finally, including Brazil!

Aging population and Health Tech accessibility. Since we moved to Germany, I have been a frequent visitor to Brazil. The current trip has offered me a firsthand glance at Brazil's current state. The country, resilient as ever, is on a path to recovery, yet the journey ahead remains extensive. Amidst the visible progress, such as new infrastructural developments, concerns like public safety stand out, signaling areas demanding attention (not new, is it?). Conversations with clever business leaders (and friends) revealed parallel discussions on two fronts, both pivotal and converging for the future: (1) The accessibility of new health technologies stresses the importance of incorporating a holistic approach to patient care, paying attention to health tech and new business models (am I making people tired of me talking about it?). A diabetic patient is not a nutrition, endocrinologic, glucose monitoring, GLP1, or wound care patient only. They are all of those or, better, a cardiometabolic user, patient, consumer... etc. (2) Besides the always unmet need for new infrastructure, Brazil is experiencing rapid growth in demand for aging tech. This demand is authentic and challenging, as may be observed in other Latin American countries. Living between Frankfurt and Monaco this year has given me a dual perspective, especially regarding how societies engage with their elderly populations. Sundays in Germany were initially a culture shock with their closed businesses. Still, they gradually unveiled their charm by seeing elderly individuals actively participate in public life, whether cycling or utilizing city amenities (especially in the early years when our family lived in Rheiland-Pfalz). Although both regions are making strides toward accommodating the needs of their aging citizens, the journey toward total inclusivity and support is ongoing. However, in Santos, my hometown, I experienced a profound sense of delight today. The city's elderly demographic is rapidly approaching 20% of the population, showcasing an inspiring scene along the beachside. Active elders, grandpas, and grandmas intertwined with the energy of a KA'A competition (Polynesian canoeing)—including a category for individuals over 80. Isn't it amazing? Such moments remind us of our societies' potential to foster environments where everyone, regardless of age, can thrive. As I reflect on these observations, conversations about healthcare accessibility, the importance of holistic patient views, and the vital need for innovative approaches to support our elderly population resonate deeply, inspiring thoughts on what more we can achieve. #Brazil #longevity #PublicSafety #Infrastructure #HealthTech #ElderlyCare #ActiveAging #Santos #Innovation

Lately we've been emphasizing the fact that venture capitalists (VCs) must play a crucial role beyond just providing funding, particularly in Latin America. ⠀ At HTwenty, we strongly believe in this hands-on approach. The region’s economic and political volatility means startups face unique challenges. VCs can make a huge difference by offering strategic support that helps companies grow faster and more sustainably. ⠀ Whether it’s opening doors to key partnerships, guiding brand strategy, or connecting founders to experienced mentors, being an active partner ensures startups are better equipped to thrive in unpredictable markets. 🤝🏼 ⠀ Ultimately, the goal isn't just to provide capital—it’s to set up portfolio companies for long-term success. ⠀ CC: Daniel Lloreda ⠀ #VentureCapital #Startups #Partnerships #Entrepreneurship #LatinAmerica
