Last week, Kanastra hosted the 3rd edition of the Fintech DCM Chats in São Paulo. This event has become Brazil's primary gathering focused on the fundraising and management of credit structures for technology companies. The meeting took place during São Paulo Tech Week and was co-hosted by us, alongside Itaú Ventures and Quona Capital.
The conversations were deep and covered a range of critical topics for the evolving fintech ecosystem. José Noblecilla, Head of AI at Valor, moderated a conversation on the application of AI in financial technology to the regulation of SCFIs (Societies of Credit, Financing, and Investment). We also discussed capital structures and the current appetite for allocation in this market.
We were pleased to once again facilitate this essential dialogue surrounding innovation, technology, and credit in Brazil. Fostering a candid conversation among founders, investors, and key financial players is vital for the ecosystem's healthy growth. It allows us to collectively address challenges and pinpoint where the next wave of opportunity lies.
Congratulations to Kanstra for the successful event!
