???New QED podcast alert??? Mike Packer, Partner and Head of Latin American Investments joined Partner and Head of International Early Stage?Bill Cilluffo?on the Fintech Thought Leaders podcast to discuss his career at Capital One, leaving corporate banking for fintech investing and the trends and opportunities in Latin America for startups. During Mike’s nearly 10 years at Capital One, he came to realize that a lot of the same ideas he wished to implement, but couldn’t always get approval to move on, were being executed by fintechs. He was drawn to fintechs' passion, intensity and the way they thought about the world. Mike’s eagerness to digitize corporate banking eventually led him to fintech investing in Latin America at QED Investors, which he discusses in detail on the podcast with Bill. ???The links to the podcast are in the comments.??? Here are three key takeaways: ???? Opportunities in Mexico "I think if you're any company doing commerce in Mexico broadly, this is a tailwind of growth. If you're banking, lending, software, to any type of business, you should be around these regions that are booming up. So, I think that's one thing that's quite clear, is there's a newness. Like it's a market expansion as opposed to market competition, and I think whenever you can get a market that's expanding, it's a lot easier to grow." ?? Important founder qualities "I try to keep an open mind to it, but I think the most important thing for me is that we mesh or get along and understand each other. So, there is a portion, I really believe in how we fit together. So if this thing works out, if the investment works out, we're going to be stuck together for 7, 10, 12 years, whatever it is, I want to try to have good read on that fit. But the things I think that I've found, and [are] a lot of these are commonalities in QED, but somebody who has good command over the details, has a hint of humility in terms of what they know, what they don't know..." ?? Venture is a long-term game "There's probably a lot. I think the one truism is the markets are always going to be up or down and reality [is] usually somewhere in the middle. And so both understanding that, that you can't get too exuberant or too down I think is true. In the venture world, I think it reminds me about how long-term this game is and how building great businesses never happens overnight. It's never easy. It's very rarely, I should say maybe not quite never, a straight line straight up."
