    Replying to @petrogustavo
    Así es Presidente. Pero hay un límite. Acuérdese que el empresario es la gallina de huevos de oro. Si le sacamos demasiado huevos, se nos muere la gallina o se nos va para otro lado donde la traten mejor. Dejo a los expertos decidir dónde está ese limite

    Thank you @dougleone and @sequoia for continue being the best investor any entrepreneur would want (11 years in, and counting…). Great new podcast telling a bit of our Nubank story:

    In 2013, @velez_david pitched @sequoia on disrupting Brazil's banks as an industry outsider with no banking or tech experience. Today, @nubank serves 100M+ customers as LatAm's most valuable financial company—proving outsiders with conviction can win big.

    What a journey with @velez_david: from Sequoia partner to founder of @nubank, where we partnered at seed, to the world’s most valuable challenger bank. Sequoia helps the daring build legendary companies. We see that opportunity more than ever in LatAm. medium.com/sequoia-capita…
