Our investment thesis for Clip

Recently Clip became the first Mexican unicorn in fintech by raising a $250 million dollar financing round at a valuation close to $2 billions. An amazing and well-deserved achievement for Adolfo Babatz and his team at Clip. I’m very happy and humbled to have been able to join Adolfo and Clip in this journey since almost the beginning. At Dalus I led our investment in their seed round and later led their Series A financing round.

A few weeks ago, I was invited to share and discuss our investment thesis at the time we invested in Clip. We are very proud that Clip’s path and results were close to what we envision in our investment analysis which resulted in our investment in 2013.

You can hear this in the Startupeable Podcast (in Spanish) in these links in Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

I hope you enjoy it.
