[divider] ENGLISH [/divider]

We are so excited to announce the beginning of our FINTECH ROAD TRIP !

The idea is to meet entrepreneurs in Fintech across the world, to understand why and how do they revolutionize the financial sector. We want to bring new perspectives, and reveal new technologies in finance developed by passionate entrepreneurs who work hard to change the way people pay, manage or invest their money.

We noticed that beside those who work in Finance or in Fintech, very few people understand the changes that we are (all) about to face in the coming years ! We want to highlight the potential of Fintechs to more and more people to help them appreciate the power of these technologies in their life !

We are about to meet amazing people, and we are very glad to have you onboard !

We have seen very interesting move in the Fintech sector over the past years in Brazil, and more specifically in São Paulo in payment and investment.

Latin America is offering investors huge opportunities since more and more VCs are betting on the expansion of the sector. In 2016, we account a bit more than 80 fintech start-ups in Brazil. The market is huge and targets 40% of the population who don’t have access yet to traditional banking services. In addition, the mobile penetration rate is among the highest in the world with 115% (very closed to the mobile penetration rate of Africa : 133%).

Among the 3 biggest investment made to Brazilian Fintechs, we find :

NuBank, a neobank that raised almost 100 million dollars since 2013,

Guia Bolso, a platform that help people manage their savings, that raised 7 million dollars since 2012

Bankfacil, a lending platform between individuals, that raised 4.4 million dollars since 2012
