As you all know, this morning an 8.8 magnitude earthquake shook Chile's mid-region. This is the 2nd big earthquake that hits the Latin American Region in just a few months. At LAVCA, we would like to express our support to all our Chilean and Haitian friends and encourage our readers to get involved with the disaster relief and reconstruction efforts going on right now in both countries through charities like Red Cross and other local organizations.
Latin America PE/VC Report spoke with Alberto Osio, President & CEO of Yolia Health and Co-Founder of Angel Ventures Mexico.
The most important decision a manager or a general partner of a fund must take is choosing an investment strategy and objective for the fund. The second most important decision is where to domicile the fund.
LAVCA spoke with Alvaro Goncalves, Managing Partner of Stratus Investimentos. Founded in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1999, Stratus manages a $285 million mid-market private equity fund, which includes a mezzanine infrastructure fund in joint venture with Darby Overseas. Stratus is currently raising capital for the buyout platform and real estate.Deals and Breaking News
