Newsletter August 2022
DEAR PARTNERS AND INVESTORS
August was particularly dynamic with strength and collaboration standing out in our fund performance of local investments in LATAM. Coming into full stride throughout our globally recognized investment thesis, IDC Ventures' quality of investors and adaptive players have shown its deep understanding as pivotal to emerging markets.
An improved platform that recognizes the importance of fostering an entrepreneurial community with its disruptive fintech and marketplace investments. As a team we have collaborated and built strong bonds through working together, with downtime spent exercising together, and putting together children bicycles for charitable donations as showcased in our team meeting in Miami.
ABOUT US
IDC Ventures international team experienced its semi-annual in-person meeting with an event by the exclusive 54D gym as part of the corporate-wide initiative to sponsor mind and body growth. We exercised and generated flow for this summer gathering, working, and playing together. So that every action, each decision, leads effortlessly, and fluidly, fostering high-speed problem-solving, like our portfolio companies, we strive to create a positive impact for the community. Here is how we achieved our own personal state of flow together in Miami, and we want to share that experience with our partners and investors.
Giving back to the community by putting children’s bicycles together for donation was fun and rewarding. Here we have the spontaneity of youth bringing together an international team.
We are an active VC in the ecosystem with a strong pipeline of future projects, with positions in our portfolio experiencing organic growth as they reach new heights. Don’t forget your Investor Portal is live with up-to-date reporting.
