That motivation comes from ambition mainly, and competitiveness. My role in the world is to teach others to exploit the potential. Benjamin is a Founder of GuiaBolso, a fintech startup that has built Brazil's leading finance platform, with over 5M users and the #1 personal finance app in the AppStore. In line with its mission of transforming the financial well-being of Brazilian consumers, GuiaBolso developed unique technology to aggregate users' bank account and credit bureau data into an digital financial hub that facilitates better decisions and access to the best products in the market. A key piece of this strategy has been the scaling up of a credit marketplace that matches consumers to loan offers from banking partners, with real-time approvals based on the GuiaBolso's proprietary credit model. The company has raised approximately $80M over 5 funding rounds from investors such as Ribbit, Kaszek, Vostok, QED, IFC (World Bank), Endeavor Catalyst and Omidyar.
