Corporations opportunities startups Latin AmericaDuring the breakfast, I also had the opportunity to talk about the enormous opportunity we see for large, medium and small corporations and companies looking to innovate. Working from day 1 with strategic people and maintaining the link helped us first in terms of partnership and then in M&A, as in the case of alaMaula.

We met eBay in month 3 and by month 12 we had grown 100x. They called me back to discuss the potential investment and 6 months later it ended up being an acquisition. These types of relationships can be extremely beneficial for both parties, but they require transparency and commitment.

For founders, corporations can be “cuckoos” because they can hug us but kill us in the process. That is why I propose greater transparency on both sides: entrepreneurs reporting monthly progress and corporations committing to clear timelines. This helps align timelines, since in the startup it is NOW, while in the corporation it can be months or years.
