Feeling very lucky for being a tiny part of @fintual :)
The team had a big vision from the start. They have methodically scaled against all odds and changed the way Mexicans & Chileans invest.
Congrats to early backer @villagecapital @chileventures. You rock @sonyatweetybird!
Beyond excited for Andres, Agustin, Omar & Pedro for adding @sequoia to their unstoppable team of investors. ALLVP led the seed round and has invested in all rounds in @ycombinator’s favorite Chilean team. Vamos!!!
ALL IN @fintual 🚀 since 2019 :)
