This is a Spanish-language Cracks Podcast interview (host: Oso Trava) with Miguel Ángel Dávila, cofounder of Cinemex and partner at LivCapital. In this segment Miguel Ángel discusses his lifelong interest in antiques, his education and early career (ITAM, Banco de México, McKinsey, Harvard MBA), the serendipitous origin of Cinemex at Harvard with partners Mat and Adolfo, and a detailed fundraising odyssey (initial rejection at Moot Corp, partnering with Alan Friedberg, meetings with JP Morgan/Morgan Stanley, and ultimately raising tens of millions in 1993–1994). He also explains strategic choices during Mexico’s 1994 political/economic crisis, and describes Cinemex’s culture-playbook: service-first, empowered employees, trusting staff (designing systems for the 97% not the 3%), and clear mission ("entertain people/best at entertaining"). In the closing segment he offers a public message to Mexicans emphasizing unity (“somos el mismo equipo”), personal responsibility and participation ("hay que bajarse a jugar"), and provides a contact route (email) and openness to a follow-up session.
