The best investors don’t start with spreadsheets. They start with people. 🤝

At this episode, we’re always looking for conversations that help founders cut through the noise — especially when it comes to fundraising in Latin America.

Because at some point, most builders hit the same crossroads:
You’ve got traction, a big vision, and a market that could be massive…
but you’re still asking yourself:
Is VC the right path? And what do investors really look for beyond the deck?

That’s why this episode with André Wertheimer, Partner at 040 Ventures, feels so timely.

André brings a globally-minded, LatAm-rooted perspective on early-stage investing — and a simple truth that reshapes how founders should think about the process:
venture is a people business before it’s a numbers business.

In this conversation, we explore:

What truly makes a founding team investable

Why trust and transparency are non-negotiable

How to run fundraising as a structured process

Why the best founders don’t just explain why they’re safe — they make investors feel the upside

And an honest reminder many entrepreneurs need:
not every great startup should raise VC — and that can still lead to an outstanding outcome

If you’re building in Brazil or anywhere across LatAm, and fundraising is on your horizon (or even just a possibility), this episode will give you clarity.
