Presented by Ashurst Perkins Coie. Paul Navarro works with some of the best founders in Latin America, many of whom are guests on the podcast. I always ask my guests who I should interview next, and the only time someone recommended a lawyer to me, it was Paul. Happy to have them as a founding sponsor.

Presented by Jumpstart Immigration. Jumpstart is the immigration service I wish I had had when I moved to the United States. Bianca and Fabiano have helped over 1,250 founders obtain O-1, L-1, and EB visas with a 98% approval rate, and if you don't get it, they DON'T charge you. Happy to have them as a founding sponsor.

Pedro Arnt spent 24 years at Mercado Libre and helped turn it into the most valuable company in Latin America.
Along the way, he learned how to organize a company for growth, with its teams and processes.
I invited him for the second time.
The first conversation was one of the most talked-about on the podcast, precisely because of his approach to building teams and companies.
Today he is CEO of dLocal.
The payments platform for emerging markets that generates over a billion dollars in revenue annually.
There, he's seeing how AI is disrupting that way of organizing.
