#133 – From childhood inventions to startup investing around the world: Mercedes Bent, Lightspeed Venture Partners

Mercedes grew up in a household where inventions, product ideas, and web development were discussed at the dinner table. 

That unique environment created a curious-minded person who started her professional career on Wall-street but later became a startup founder and investor. Today she is part of Lightspeed venture partners. 

We discussed her interest in fintech, crypto, NFTs, LatAm investing, and much more.
