Episode interview (Spanish) of Alejandro Díez Barroso on Cracks Podcast. Alejandro reviews his 20-year trajectory from serial entrepreneur (Vilebrecan, escapularios) to VC operator and co‑founder of DILA Capital, explains how venture capital fits into Mexico's financing ecosystem, describes DILA's investment thesis (portfolio approach, need for high-growth potential companies), recounts notable misses (Kavak) and wins (Cervecería Hércules), and shares founder advice plus personal routines (stoicism, exercise, meditation). The conversation mixes practical VC mechanics (ticket sizes, fundraising challenges) with candid lessons about product–market fit, team, and founder resilience.
