Posted on 14 September, 2025 by Diego Serebrisky

A pretty accurate representation of AI versus existing digital infrastructure. That slingshot is about to launch.

What do you think happens when it does? 😬

Why We Doubled Down on the Darwin AI Team

Posted on 2 September, 2025 by Diego Serebrisky

I’m thrilled to share that our portfolio company, Darwin AI, has closed a $4.5 million funding round led by Base10 Partners. 🚀 We at Dalus are excited to be participating in the round alongside other previous investors, doubling down on our belief in the team.

Darwin AI is building the future of business operations with AI agents, with a sharp focus on the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking markets in Latam (try them here). The traction is already undeniable: they’ve onboarded more than 300 clients across 20 countries and have surpassed $2 million in annual booked revenues.

Insights from the AI 2027 Report

Posted on 26 August, 2025 by Diego Serebrisky

This past weekend I read the AI 2027 report, a fascinating piece of future foresight on the trajectory of artificial intelligence, released a few months ago. The report is long, dense, and full of tech jargon, but it lays out two vivid scenarios for how AI might evolve over the next five years.

The methodology follows the practice of “future foresight,” where scenarios are created and presented as a chronological story, without assigning them an exact probability of occurrence. This approach does not aim to predict the future, but to explore plausible paths, stress-test assumptions, and open space for informed debate about what might happen.

The report was created by Daniel Kokotajlo, Scott Alexander, Thomas Larsen, and Eli Lifland under the collective name AI Futures Project. Their goal is to draw attention to the possible implications of AI’s extremely rapid progress. The intent is not to predict the future with certainty, but rather to generate realistic scenarios that can spark conversations about public policy and preparedness, recognizing that the exact forecast and timing could change.

Latin America venture capital shows resilience in 2025 but challenges remain

Posted on 18 August, 2025 by Diego Serebrisky

LAVCA released its semi-annual metrics on the Latin American startup and VC ecosystem for the first half of 2025. There’s plenty to analyze, but I want to highlight three aspects.

Latam VC investment volumes remain flat
Total investment value stayed essentially flat in the first half of 2025, with a slight downward bias. In fact, volumes have been holding steady at more or less the same level since 2H22, when the global correction in VC fully hit Latin America. The positive side is that this suggests we have reached the bottom of the cycle, and further material declines seem unlikely.

Book Recommendations for Summer 2025

Posted on 4 August, 2025 by Diego Serebrisky

Here are a few books I read recently that are worth checking out.

Fiction

Book cover of "Flights" by Olga Tokarczuk, featuring a bright yellow background with a stylized black bird in mid-flight and minimalist black title text.
  • Flights by Olga Tokarczuk. First book I read by this Polish Nobel laureate. A unique collection of stories, some just one-paragraph reflections, others longer, all loosely connected by the theme of travel. Her style is captivating and I really enjoyed it.
  • Un lugar soleado para gente sombría (A Sunny Place for Shady People: Stories) by Mariana Enríquez. A collection of contemporary short horror stories, in my opinion, much better than her previous collections. I love the style of this Argentinian author: an enchanting, casual voice to describe everyday life twisted by unsettling elements. For something longer, don’t miss her amazing novel Nuestra Parte de Noche (Our Share of Night).
  • The Vegetarian by Han Kang. A strange novel by the winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature. While the prose and style are beautiful, I didn’t particularly connect with the story. Still, it’s worth reading given her recent recognition and the fact that it’s a short read. I’m looking forward to trying some of her other works.

What smart capital is watching in tech

Posted on 20 July, 2025 by Diego Serebrisky

I came across this recent report from Coatue, a large global crossover fund investing in both public and private tech companies, presented at their EMW 2025 conference. It’s packed with data-driven insights into how the tech sector is evolving, especially in the context of the ongoing AI wave.

Despite an uncertain economic environment—tariff tensions, inflation, shifting interest rates—and a volatile geopolitical backdrop with wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, tech stocks have performed remarkably well over the past three years.

The report shows we’re still in the early phases of the AI innovation cycle. Some players, public and private, are already gaining traction and market value. But it’s too soon to name the long-term winners. It feels reminiscent of earlier tech waves that produced giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Meta.

At Dalus Capital, my fund, we invest at the early stages of tech innovation. What we’re seeing on the ground is incredibly exciting and signals that the medium-term evolution of the sector will be transformative. With strong execution and some luck, we hope a few of our investments will become winners in this wave.

If you follow tech, startups, or the future of AI, this is a valuable read.

Full report here.
