How This Dropout Built a $3B Fintech Giant | André Street
Before co-founding StoneCo, a $3.67B fintech giant, André Street was already thinking like a founder at the age of 14, skipping school not to rebel, but to build.
His teacher was life itself, learning discipline from Jiu-Jitsu, gaining “environment intelligence” from being robbed on Rio’s streets, and maturity from an import-export class with 50 year olds.
In this episode he joins Henrique Dubugras to unpack:
- why he never wanted to be CEO
- the prediction he made five years ahead that made StoneCo Brazil’s first independent credit card acquirer
- why prioritizing customers early on became the foundation of StoneCo’s business model
- the hiring mantra that built one of fintech’s tightest cultures
