Startups are the wildest roller coasters.
The entrepreneurial journey is lonely—especially if you’re looking to start a business in Latin America, where opportunities are ripe but resources are scarce.
Brian Requarth is well acquainted with the challenges unique to this part of the world, having grown his Brazil-based company, Viva Real, from two people to over 500 employees, and tens of millions in dollars of revenue.
Viva The Entrepreneur shares the lessons Brian learned while building his company. He shows how to manage your own psychology and your operations, be it working with co-founders, building a culture, or managing a board of directors. Brian also reveals the secrets of scaling a business and best practices for raising venture capital in Latin America. You will develop an understanding of the most critical parts of an investor term sheet, and gain perspective into the inner workings of the venture capital game.
Founding, scaling and raising venture capital in Latin America is hard. Brian’s book gives an authentic view of the entrepreneurial journey and teaches you what you won’t learn in business school.
