Round Treasury’s Post

We're thrilled to announce the successful closure of our recent $70 million fundraise! It's been an incredible journey with Aplazo, from those early days as an angel investor to joining the leadership team.  Working alongside Angel Peña, Alexander Wieland, and the entire Aplazo team has been enriching beyond measure. My adaptability and constant learning have helped me contribute significantly, continually challenging both myself and the team to pursue a bias for excellence. A massive thank you to the entire Aplazo team for their unwavering commitment to success. Their boldness, efficiency, and clear communication have been instrumental in ensuring our customers and merchants love what we do.  We're also immensely grateful to our business partners and merchants for choosing Aplazo as their preferred payment method, and to our customers for making us their go-to platform for purchases, enriching their lives in the process. Special gratitude goes out to QED Investors, Oak HC/FT, KASZEK, Picus Capital, and Volpe Capital for their crucial support in expanding Aplazo's payment solutions. 🚀 Together, we're one step closer to our mission of empowering financial access, opportunity, and freedom across Latin America. By offering fair, simple, and transparent financial solutions, we're making significant strides towards our goals. #Aplazo #BNPL #AplazoRoundB #Fintech #FinancialInnovation #FundingMilestone #LeadershipJourney #FinancialFreedom #financialinclusion #PaymentInnovation #PreferredPayment

Another successful Upfront Summit in the books. Rob Mazzoni from Wellington's Late-Stage Growth team and Van Jones from Wellington Access Ventures enjoyed the content, as well as the opportunity to catch up with friends in the venture capital and limited partner communities. It was clear from these conversations that LPs have renewed excitement to back new and existing managers that show clear differentiation. For VCs, the returning momentum of underlying software customer buying behavior is providing confidence that 2024 could be an improved deal environment across sectors, with AI as the clearest driver.

When I raised my first round v/s now, I have had moments when I questioned whether to share certain things with investors or not. Also somewhere not sharing felt like hiding and I had the fear what if our perspectives differed and this could make decision-making a bit challenging. However over time I realized transparency is very important. Ultimately, founders and investors are passengers of the same bus which leads to the success of brand. In this video, I have tried to cover my opinions around this. Would love to hear your thoughts!!! Clensta #startupjourney #transparencymatters #foundersandinvestors https://lnkd.in/g-H8BBfj
