I recently spoke to a founder in colombia, then another founder in Chile - neither of them knew where santo domingo was located - we talk a lot about gringos, but even the most educated Latinos is south America don't know basic geographic 🙃

@patrickc Indeed. I moved here 4 yrs ago from nyc ( along with everybody else it seems :-) and I'm still surprised by the high density of exited founders.

@thesamparr I'm down, we need more high quality gatherings in Miami

@paulg Maybe for that company it made sense since they took the money already, but it may not be a smart strategy to take so much money that the best use of it is to grow at 4% per year ( ust rate) instead of 10x

Having fun at what you do = being successful at what you do

being successful at what you do = how many people you help + how much wealth you create
