- Empreendedorismo
Welcome to Season 3 of The J Curve, a podcast about entrepreneurship in Latin America. My guest today is Thibaud Lecuyer, CEO at Loggi, Brazilian delivery company that has raised close to $500m over 6 rounds from the likes of Iporanga Ventures, Softbank, Monashees, GGV, CapSur Capital and Microsoft. Prior to that Thibaud was a co-founder at Brazilian online fashion retailer Dafiti.
Together we explore Thibaud’s transition from finance and J.P. Morgan in Europe into entrepreneurship in Brazil. We discuss his experience of launching and scaling Dafiti in the environment in which venture capital was scarce. We also talk about strategies and tactics Thibaud used to put Loggi on a path to profitability while maintaining a high rate of growth and discuss why Brazil represents a lucrative opportunity for global investors.
In today's episode we discuss:
1. From disruption to transformation: how to turnaround a billion dollar tech business?
2. Founders' blind spot: how to think about capital efficiency?
3. The case for optimism: why global investors should invest in Brazil?
4. The last mile delivery challenge: how to win in a crowded market?
5. Doing business in Brazil: what founders need to know?
