Para Português, clique aqui: https://lnkd.in/dF_7tKkc I’m proud to be CEO of Prosus Group. It all started in the 2000s at the Jr. Computer Company at Unicamp (Conpec), and, after many startups, tests, mistakes and successes, in my last month at iFood we had 96 million orders. I have already been a part of Prosus for many years – first through Movile, my company that I set up, and then through iFood, which is now part of Prosus’s successful ecommerce portfolio. Throughout my career I have known amazing people and have worked together to take big dreams and make them into reality. Now, I face an exciting new challenge: Prosus is a fantastic owner and operator. In the past month, I have been learning about some of the businesses, and I was impressed by what I saw – and their potential for the future. There is a lot of synergy to explore, and with a combination of a super strong portfolio, fantastic teams, some innovation and a lot of thinking BIG – we will win! In the future I’ll share more details about my plans and thinking BIG for Prosus’s next chapter! The best is yet to come – as I always say: We're just starting 🚀 #Prosus #thinkbig #juststarting

Throughout history, women in science have defied stereotypes and overcome prejudice to make their mark. From Marie Curie, a pioneer in radioactivity research, to Rosalind Franklin, whose work was key to discovering DNA’s structure, these trailblazers not only made groundbreaking discoveries but paved the way for future generations. Today, I am proud to continue this legacy as co-founder and CEO of Orby, Co. At just 25, leading a deeptech, we are transitioning into industry with our pioneering non-invasive neuromodulation system and functional rehabilitation automation. Our mission is clear: to leave a lasting legacy in neuroengineering.

This part of my conversation with Joao Barbosa, co-founder at the world’s leading wellness platform Gympass (now Wellhub) valued at $2.4 is a testament to the fact that nothing big actually started big 👇 It took Gympass 5 pivots and 2 near death experiences to find the business model that works and is scalable across the globe What I found really interesting is the framework that the team had around pivots - the tripod approach towards creating value. This approach could benefit many founders especially in marketplace kinda businesses Head over to our channels on Spotify, Apple and YouTube to watch / listen to the full conversation link in comment 🔗 The J Curve #thejcurvepodcast #podcastrecommendation #gympass #pivot #entrepreneurship #founder #venturecapital

Have you noticed that the VC industry has just started budding across Brazil and Latam while AI and automation (+ of course the strangely trivial economics around VC, LP & Founder relationship) is eating the lunch! The main course & the leftovers, all around the globe without any of the the rest of the world's knowledge industries left alone. So something definitely has to happen - differently than it did back during Silicon Valley's inception years but also differently than the following decades of basically rinse and repeat of the same Private Equity system dressed up as technology innovation - the VC hypocrisy has to end - maybe we need to add the Ad to again make it into the next version of the Adventure Capital it was set out to be - perhaps I'd say, there's no time & place that's better prepped for the next Technology Capital Revolution as right here and now in Brazil and Latam today! If you're into this stuff and wanna go deep with the industry leaders, then check this ABVCAP #VC Day during the largest and most relevant event for GPs and LPs of all shapes and sizes that are interested in #startup #investments across #Brazil and #Latam. My partner co-founder, an industry insider, Bruno Dequech Ceschin will be there together with some of the best performing VCs (some have already achieved massively successful portfolio company exits and a few are even crossing their 3rd+ successful vintages) along with many highly experienced LPs from the region.

Hoje li na Compound Letter de Matheus Soares do Market Makers a tradução do texto de Graham Duncan um dos grande alocadores de fortunas do mundo, fundador do East Rock Capital, LLC. Achei sensaconal e resolvi postar abaixo o texto na íntegra. Analisando o mesmo, fica claro para mim a importância de balisar expectativas e nada melhor do que iniciar essa analise sabendo quem são os "players" envlvidos. Segue o início do texto: "The Playing Field Over the last decade, I’ve interviewed and assessed more than 5,000 investment managers. One of the most important things I’ve learned in that process is what separates the great investors from the rest. The great ones view investing as a game, and they know exactly what game they’re playing. It brings to mind an observation from the philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah: “In life the challenge is not so much to figure out how best to play the game; the challenge is to figure out what game you’re playing.” One great portfolio manager I know told the story of being driven somewhere by an analyst on a rainy night when a truck swerved and almost ran them off the road. “Why is stuff like this always happening to me?” the analyst instinctually responded. But to the portfolio manager, that response reflected a terrible mindset, whether on the road or in the market: a sense that the world is acting on you as opposed to your acting on the world. It is a mindset that is hard to change. But from what I’ve seen, great investors don’t have it. Instead, they’ve come to understand which factors in the market they can control and which factors they cannot. One way to relocate your locus of control is to frame investing (and even life more generally) as a game. This allows you to experience luck as luck, to separate the hand you drew from the playing of that hand. As David Milch, the creator of the HBO show Deadwood, put it, he realized late in life that “it’s the way you learn to play the cards you’ve been dealt, rather than the hand itself, that determines the worth of your participation in the game.” For investors, I’ve come to think of five levels of the game: 1. Apprentice — learning the game 2. Expert — mastering the game you were taught 3. Professional — making the game you were taught fit your own strengths and weaknesses 4. Master — changing the game you play as part of your own self-expression and operating at scale 5. Steward — becoming part of the playing field itself and mentoring the next generation.." A seguir o link para o blog com o texto "The Playing Field" ENJOY!! thanks to Graham Duncan https://lnkd.in/d8ja83sQ

Visando esclarecer algumas dúvidas, assim como pontuar o que precisa ser pontuado, o episódio deste post tem por objetivo abordar um tema bastante controverso, porém, necessário de ser debatido no sentido de coibir práticas que aparentam ser brincadeiras ou "críticas construtivas", quando na realidade não são. Por vezes, tais críticas vêm com o rótulo americanizado de feedback. Desnecessário dizer que um feedback provém quando se tem um mentor eleito, definido por seu aprendiz, sendo este um particular, não por arbítrios de hierarquias corporativas que visam diminuir quem muito faz e parabenizar alguns poucos. Não quero dizer com isso que conversas francas não sejam necessárias, muito pelo contrário, elas na verdade SÃO. Mas, o que muito se observa e não se fala por temeridade me dispus a fazer. Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: Assédio Moral https://lnkd.in/dgfAWZcd

It's gratifying to see the crypto universe and innovation becoming increasingly part of people's lives, especially in important areas like culture. The immersive exhibition "Decade of the Oceans - 1st National Cryptart Exhibition" has been at the CCBB - Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in São Paulo since March 27, bringing together innovation, technology, and art. The theme was defined in partnership with the UN regarding the Decade of the Oceans, which runs from 2021 to 2030. Events like this show how Blockchain is increasingly present in our daily lives, becoming an accessible means of promoting culture. Here at WEB3DEV, we understand this role and want to bring more knowledge about this decentralized universe! If you want to learn more about Blockchain, we have a study group every Tuesday at 7 pm in our Discord community! https://lnkd.in/dW5qVMJR

Alguns quotes interessantes da palestra de Karan Mehandru (MD da Madrona VC) no #websummit: “SaaS gave the power of big companies to small companies. AI is giving the power of small companies to big companies. That applies especially to innovation agility.” “Calculators brought the marginal cost of precision down to zero. AI is bringing the marginal cost of INFERENCES to zero.” “There is an AI fatigue, of course. But that’s because we’re at the end of the beginning of this AI era. A lot of capital is gonna be incinerated, buts that’s part of the game.” “We went to Software-as-a-service to service-as-a-software. The power of co-pilots to everything is yet to be measured, but no one denies it’s huge.”

Os planos de crescimento da OpenAI segundo o The New York Times. Resumidamente, #SamAltman vai em busca do dinheiro perdido. OpenAI’s growing pains Months ago, OpenAI endured a brief civil war that saw the ouster of Sam Altman as C.E.O., largely over his commitment to the safety of the start-up’s artificial intelligence products. Now it’s reorganizing itself to help pull in more investment. But that effort comes despite unresolved questions about whether the company is meant to serve the public good or simply make money, The Times’s Cade Metz and Mike Isaac write. OpenAI may change its corporate structure. The company was initially formed as a nonprofit research lab, but formed a for-profit subsidiary in 2019 to allow outside investment. That arm has since drawn billions of dollars, including $13 billion from Microsoft. The tech giant is in talks to participate in yet another fund-raising round — alongside existing investors like Thrive Capital and new ones like Apple and Nvidia — that could elevate OpenAI’s valuation to more than $100 billion. The board of the original nonprofit OpenAI controls the organization, without official input from investors. But the company is considering changes to that structure, Metz and Isaac write, though it hasn’t settled on a specific approach. OpenAI needs more money. The A.I. race is becoming increasingly expensive, as tech titans including Alphabet and, yes, Microsoft, spend big on research. While OpenAI has annual revenues of more than $2 billion, Metz and Isaac report, one estimate puts its potential costs this year at $7 billion. The company has already evolved in ways that depart from its founding principles. Of the 13 people who helped found OpenAI, only three remain. Among those who have left are Ilya Sutskever, the A.I. scientist who pushed for Altman’s ouster, and John Schulman, who led a team focused on the technology’s risks. OpenAI has recently hired veteran tech executives including Sarah Friar, the former C.E.O. of Nextdoor, as C.F.O.; Kevin Weil, who led product at Twitter, as chief product officer; and Chris Lehane, a former Clinton White House official and Airbnb executive, who is set to become head of global policy. The transition points to the identity crisis at the heart of OpenAI. Other employees who were uncomfortable with Altman’s management have left. Elon Musk, who co-founded the company, has sued it twice, claiming that it put profits ahead of the public good. Some former OpenAI employees see more problems on the way. They point to questions about the safety of the technology the company is creating and note that executives tasked with monitoring those products have left. OpenAI says it’s the cost of growing up. “Scaling a company is really hard,” Jason Kwon, the company’s chief strategy officer, told The Times. “You have to make trade-off decisions all the time. And some people might not like those decisions.” #AI #IA
