If you’re a fintech founder with global ambition and relevant traction, it’s more likely than not that you’ve heard or even talked to QED Investors.
QED was founded by Nigel Morris (founder of Capital One) with Frank Rotman and Caribou Honig in 2007 and has become the premier VC in the fintech space since then. With more than $3.6b in AUM, QED has backed well-known companies such as Credit Karma and Klarna.
The firm has also been active in LatAm since 2015, and this specifically the main topic of our conversation with this week’s guest, Mike Packer. Mike was also part of Capital One and joined QED in 2016 as principal, becoming partner in 2018.
Mike oversees QED’s activity in the region, which includes investments in the likes of Nubank, Creditas and Quinto Andar. In our conversation with Mike we chat about his professional career, the move to VC, what makes QED special, fintech in LatAm and many other topics.
