A business and tech podcast to help you capture the global opportunities of the future

“The homogeneity around the Latin American cultural experience helps to actually aspire to create regional platforms.”

Felipe Echandi is the co-founder of Cuanto, a YCW19 startup based in Panama. Cuanto allows small merchants and independent Latin American entrepreneurs to create their mobile-first online store to sell over social-media. Think of Shopify for LatAm’s social media-based e-commerce experience. Prior to Cuanto, Felipe has extensive experience in blockchain and Fintech.

In this episode, we discuss the state of the LATAM fintech and e-commerce ecosystem, where he draws inspiration as he builds his startup, and the future of mobile in emerging markets.
