Sebastian Mejia - Scaling With Soul - [Joys of Compounding, EP.27]
Our teacher today is Sebastian Mejia. He combines intellectual range with emotional depth and is the co-founder of Rappi, the on-demand delivery platform that has become one of Latin America's most influential tech companies.
In this episode, we discuss resilience, identity, intuition, and building companies with a sense of urgency and wonder. We will go from Sebastian’s immigrant hustle in New York to billion-user ambitions in India, from early-stage chaos to the challenge of scaling a tech company across hundreds of Latin American cities.
Now, Sebastian is entering a new chapter, one that blends investing with company building. He's been asking bigger, more personal questions like what's enduring, what's authentic, and where can I bring my full self to the table? Please enjoy our class with Sebastian Mejia.
