IFC talks to Santiago Zavala
about his journey to becoming an investor focused on Latin American
start-ups and why other venture capital investors should put the
region on their radar.
When he started a guitar-related online forum
in the early 2000s, Zavala didn’t expect to find himself where he
is today. Although he still actively codes, he’s now widely known
as one of the main community builders and investors in
Spanish-speaking Latin America. Together with his team, the
34-year-old runs the 500 Luchadores funds and is a partner of 500
Startups. In this episode, he speaks to Creating Markets about the potential of Latin American
markets.
