VC Fund Dossiers

These are the SoftBank Latin America dream team who actually got stuff done before Vision Fund went sideways. Claure brings serious operator credibility - he actually built and sold companies, not just wrote checks. The guy turned around Sprint and engineered a $195B merger, so he knows how to make shit happen. Nyatta is the investing brain with McKinsey/JPMorgan pedigree who co-built SoftBank's LATAM funds from scratch. They're not tourists - this is their home turf and they have real conviction about the region's potential. The $500M fund size is perfect for growth-stage deals without the crazy valuations that killed their former employer. But here's the thing: they're ex-SoftBank, which means they've seen what happens when you move too fast and burn too much money. That could be wisdom or it could be baggage.
