This week’s guest is Antoine Colaço, managing partner at Valor Capital Group, an investment firm with more than $2.6b in AUM and more than 100 portfolio companies.
Valor Capital was founded by Ambassador Clifford Sobel (former US ambassador to Brazil) and his son, Scott Sobel (who was part of the founding team of Net2Phone, which IPOed and was sold to AT&T for US$1.4b in 2000). The firm specializes in bridging the US and Latin America, and has invested in very well known companies such as Coinbase, Stone ($3.1b in market cap) and Satellogic, among many others.
Antoine joined Valor in 2012 after almost 9 years at Google, where he held various roles including COO of APAC and Latam for the search giant. He was one of the first 1,000 employees at Google and joined pre-IPO.
He has seen it all from both an operator and VC perspective, so in this conversation we went quite in-depth on his time at Google and also his learnings after almost 12 years as a professional VC at Valor.
