Fintech is a global trend at the moment, and having people who truly understand it is as valuable as ever.
With a Bachelor's from Stanford and a Harvard MBA, Ana Cristina Gadala-Maria certainly fits this description.
Ana leads Fontes, a seed-stage fund for Latin America fintech at QED, and is a supporter of the LatAm ecosystem through Mosaico, a content platform.
She's passionate about democratizing access to financial services, a strong believer in entrepreneurship as the driving force behind transformative solutions, and an advocate for female and diverse founders.
In this episode, Ana shares:
- Why fintech is so hot in Latin America (and globally!)
- How to cater to the "underbanked and under-served"
- Her opinion on the future of embedded finance
- Challenges that founders starting or scaling financial services should be aware of
- How Fontes works within QED
