Cashea at NuMundo Ventures
Cashea recently visited NuMundo Ventures‘ headquarters in California, following an intense roadshow across the United States.
This meeting was a key moment to connect with potential investors and strengthen the relationships we need to grow. Securing funding is crucial for our mission in Venezuela, and this step takes us closer to making that happen.
Roadshow Highlights: Key Stops Across the U.S.
Our roadshow included stops in major investment hubs, allowing us to connect with industry leaders and validate our vision. Each city played a strategic role in our journey:
- Miami: A vibrant gateway for LatAm startups and innovation.
- New York: A global financial powerhouse, where top investors are always within reach.
- Boston: Home to a strong startup ecosystem and world-class universities.
- San Francisco: The heart of Silicon Valley, an essential stop for any fintech looking to scale.
For nearly two weeks, we immersed ourselves in fast-paced meetings, engaging discussions, and high-stakes presentations. The experience was intense, but the opportunities we unlocked were invaluable.
Final Phase: Mexico & Beyond
As we wrap up our U.S. roadshow, we are preparing for the final round of meetings in Mexico. This next phase is critical, as we aim to leverage the connections built over the past weeks. Mexico’s growing fintech landscape offers tremendous potential, and we are excited to continue expanding our investor network there.
Key Connections: Paul Navarro & Nelson Koen
Building strong relationships has been essential throughout this journey. Two individuals who have played a crucial role in supporting Cashea are:
- Paul Navarro: A key ally and friend, Paul leads the LatAm practice at Perkins Coie. His guidance has been instrumental in navigating the investment landscape. We’ve collaborated in Miami and beyond, strengthening the network that fuels our growth.
- Nelson Koen: A trusted mentor, Nelson is a professor at Stanford and has deep roots in Venezuela. His involvement with a NuMundo portfolio company and his insights into fintech have provided us with invaluable support.
Their mentorship has helped us navigate challenges and refine our approach to securing investment.
Investor & Mentor Support: The Driving Force Behind Cashea
The backing of investors and mentors has been fundamental in Cashea’s journey. Their support allows us to stay on track, access key resources, and continue innovating within the fintech space.
- Connecting with industry experts has shaped our strategic direction.
- Access to funding has empowered us to scale operations and enhance our offering.
- Ongoing mentorship has helped us overcome obstacles and refine our financial model.
Our path has not been easy, especially given the complexities of operating in Venezuela. However, our resilience, adaptability, and strategic alliances—like our partnership with NuMundo Ventures—have made all the difference.
Looking Ahead
We remain committed to pushing Cashea forward. The lessons learned, the connections built, and the support received are fueling our next steps. As we move into this final phase, we are more determined than ever to secure the resources needed to drive financial inclusion in our region.
