SEBASTIAN MEJIA Colombia, RAPPI I'm co-founder and CSO of Rappi. We founded the company 32 months ago and have raised more than a quarter billion dollars from the most prominent investors in the world. Our mission is to connect the local economies of large cities to bring what happens offline to mobile, across LatAm. Our fundamental purposes are to empower consumers to have more quality of life, to impact the lives of our couriers, empower merchants to participate in a new economy and to build a business that has nothing to envy in scale to those in Silicon Valley or China. This we believe will create a catalyst of entrepreneurialism in the region with more companies being built and more capital flowing to LatAm. I'm a curious and passionate person at heart with a global view in all I do. I have been privileged to spend my life living and working in many different parts of the world and that has shaped my vision to build global businesses. I'm trained as an economist but have always started businesses, most of them unsuccessful ones but all full of learnings. I'm passionate about business in general but my heart always leans towards tech and innovation. I'm relentless in making this life count, to create impact with my work and to follow my passions. I would dedicate my life to empower others to aim high in their projects, whether its business or not as I believe there are no limits in life.
