Backing Brazilian IT

Why are the words “Brazil” and “tech” rarely used in the same sentence by international investors? In this in-depth interview, Miguel Perrotti, Co-CEO and Founder of São Paulo-based Invest Tech, argues that Brazil benefits from a unique entrepreneurial and engineering background and that its tech scene is turning a corner, which spells investment opportunity.

Topics include Perrotti’s background as a tech entrepreneur in Brazil, the regulatory genesis of Brazil’s “do-it-yourself” IT culture and the big investment themes in technology, including mobility, healthcare and cleantech.
