LAVCA Week 2025

Valor Capital Group was a proud sponsor of LAVCA Week, the foremost annual gathering for private capital investors focused on Latin America.

Our participation included the panel, “Blockchain Infrastructure in Latin America.” Valor Managing Partner Michael Nicklas was joined by Fernando Martinez, CEO of our portfolio company Nonco, alongside experts from Canary, DCG, and Kazea Capital.

The discussion focused on the underlying factors driving blockchain adoption. Highlights included Brazil’s accelerated growth, fueled by a supportive regulatory environment and a digitally-native population. Michael offered insights on the forthcoming Brazil Stack report and the accumulating value in the country's financial rails.

Durign the conversation, panelists addressed the importance of effective distribution strategies over over-engineered technology. We believe scalable infrastructure at the earliest stages is crucial for mainstream adoption.
