Today, Santiago & Josh interview Lucas Vaz, Founder & General Partner at Ravelin Capital and Brazilian Immigrant to America, to discuss his early career, why he left Brazil, discovering venture capital, launching his own VC - Ravelin Capital, and what he looks for in Founders.   #LucasVaz #Brazil #America #Economics #Freedom #Capitalism #Communism #VentureCapital #RavelinCap #Founders #Entreprenuership   Lucas Vaz is Founder and General Partner at Ravelin Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm backing exceptional founders building Critical Software. Around five years ago, two things became evident to Lucs: first, that the decay of American infrastructure, the collapse of American institutions, and the changing geopolitical tides would become the defining issues of this era. And second, that entrepreneurs taking on these challenges, either by developing software solutions for hard industries or verticalizing them with software at its core, would create not just very important, but incredibly valuable companies. These beliefs led Lucas to invest in the first round of companies like Apex, Hadrian, Pylon, Traba, and many others. Lucas was born and raised in Brazil, immigrated to America in the 2010s and is a graduate of the University of Minnesota.   Learn more about Lucas Vaz's work: https://x.com/lucasbagnocvaz https://x.com/RavelinCap https://www.ravelincap.com/introducing-ravelin   ----------   Follow New Founding across Social Media: Twitter – https://twitter.com/newfoundingorg YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClCvCeAC7erMbc3zvuJN2_Q Website – https://www.newfounding.com   Find the Best People.
