Spanish-language interview (Cracks Podcast #134) with Courtney McColgan, CEO and founder of Runa. McColgan recounts her path from studying Chinese and working in China, through founding early ventures and joining Cabify, to launching Runa — a payroll and HR platform for Latin American SMEs. The conversation covers why she prefers for-profit vehicles for social impact, how she researched the payroll market (150 software demos across LATAM), lessons from YC/Demo Day, product and expansion strategy (Mexico-first, plans for Brazil), leadership choices (hiring, anonymous feedback, advisor compensation), and personal topics (Stanford MBA, parenting, work–life balance).
