Let's help our region ride the wave of digital transformation and come out stronger. As digital platforms, we must provide reliable experiences to customers moving online to accelerate the transformation and make it stick. @careem

Enjoyed chatting with @bayareawriter on the state of venture funding in Brazil. Exciting times ahead!
My latest for @crunchbasenews: Venture funding in #Brazil exploded in 2018 to $1.3B, representing nearly 2/3 of all VC money raised in #LatinAmerica as a whole last year. Meanwhile, deal volume more than doubled to 259 in 2018 compared to 113 in 2017. https://t.co/EJbZgQfe1t
