LatAm’s Startup Boom: 500 Global, Angel Investing, and the Next Decade with Rene Lomeli Ojeda, 500 Global

In this episode, we sit down with Rene Ojeda, partner at 500 Global, who’s been shaping the LatAm startup ecosystem from day one. We explore the history of 500 LatAm, how the VC and startup landscape has evolved, and what makes for a great angel investor. Rene also pulls back the curtain on 500’s investment process and how they add value—plus, he reveals the biggest risk international VCs worry about when investing in the region. But don’t worry—it’s not all caution signs. Rene shares why he’s bullish on the next 5-10 years in LatAm and why you should be too.
