À propos de cet audio

 This is Matt Reustle.  Today we are breaking down the Latam e-commerce Giant, Mercado Libre. My guest is Daniel Wu of Bristlemoon Capital. I was introduced to MELI about 15 years ago when it was still the eBay of Latam, and similar to a place that you revisit after a long time away, MELI looks a lot different than those early days. Just consider that with a $120 billion market cap, MELI is three times the size of eBay today and has clearly evolved since those early days. Daniel walks us through the business as it stands today. And how MELI paired this Amazon-like e-commerce approach with a complementary but equally impressive FinTech business to fuel the company. It's an incredibly interesting road to success. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Mercado Libre.
