Miguel Armaza sits down with Pedro Conrade, CEO/Founder of Neon, one of the largest digital banks in Brazil and Latin America. We sat down on stage in Sao Paulo at the Gilgamesh Ventures Summit, an annual meeting where we gather Limited Partners, Founders, Co-Investors, and friends for a series of events and discussions about the future of financial services.

Serving almost 20 million clients, Neon is one of the largest fintech companies in the Americas and, without a doubt, Pedro is amongst the most inspiring figures I know. Every time I talk to him, I come out with a shot of motivation and positivity.

In this episode, we discuss:

How an overdraft fee infuriated Pedro and inspired him to launch Neon
Why major crises and tough moments helped build a more resilient company
Neon’s M&A strategy – insights from five company acquisitions
And many more company building lessons
