ABOUT KASZEK:

Since 1999 to 2011, Hernan Kazah, Nicolas Szekasy and Nicolas Berman worked together as co-founder/COO, CFO and VP of Marketing at MercadoLibre, today the largest Latin American company in terms of market capitalization.

Then, in mid 2011, Hernan and Nicolas Szekasy decided to launch Kaszek to resolve some of the pain points they experienced as entrepreneurs, and try to help founders financially, strategically, operationally and, even, emotionally in their epic path to create the next generation of great, successful and sustainable companies in Latin America.

Since then, Kaszek has raised more than $2 billion in seven different funds, becoming the largest Latin American early-stage fund.
