A Spanish-language podcast interview with Julio Vasconcellos covering his path from Stanford to early podcasting, growth roles at Facebook (leading Brazil/LatAm growth), and founding Peix Urbano (a Groupon-like startup). The conversation tracks rapid scale (hundreds of employees, ~$100M revenue), aggressive competition (Rocket Internet/Samwer brothers, Groupon), a severe downturn that required deep cuts (hundreds of layoffs) and ultimately a turnaround and exit. Julio then describes moving into venture investing (Angel activity, Canary — seed focus — and Atlantico — series A growth focus), fund sizing strategy (prefer ~100M for higher returns), editorial work (Latin America Digital Report), and practical advice for founders about focus, metrics, and decisive cost cuts.
