Investor confidence in Latin America is climbing fast. Regional fintechs raised $1.05 billion across 25 deals in the second quarter of 2026, a 2.6x increase over the same quarter last year and the strongest in five quarters. Average deal size reached $41.8 million, led by Mexican digital bank Plata's $405 million round.

I love living in Costa Rica as an expat. But you have to think about more than just sunshine and cheaper cost of living. If you want to become an expat, do your homework about healthcare, finances, family life, residency considerations, etc.

Will #Padel be the next pickleball? I love Padel, so I may be a bit biased. But the Wall Street Journal seems to agree https://t.co/qnGpuKVNMF

Move over, pickleball. Padel is taking over malls, private clubs and old power plants.

A lot of real estate investment specialists are bullish about the real estate market. Morgan Stanley, for example, says “real estate markets are showing signs of recovery, with stronger fundamentals, renewed transaction activity and select opportunities emerging”

People often ask what separates successful entrepreneurs from everyone else. There isn't one answer, but I've noticed this: the people who keep learning long after they've achieved success tend to keep finding new opportunities.

Flying over Costa Rica never gets old. You gain an entirely different appreciation for the country's geography—from coastlines and rainforests to mountains that can make a relatively short trip on the ground feel very different from one in the air. https://t.co/4z9NZMDMpF

One reason I enjoy international investing is that innovation doesn't happen in just one part of the world. Some of the most interesting entrepreneurs I've met are building businesses far from the traditional financial centers.

One trend I've enjoyed watching is the growth of padel. What started as a niche sport has become a global phenomenon in many countries, and it's easy to understand why. It's competitive, social, accessible, and a great workout all at the same time. https://t.co/qhz5IoB3VV
