IDC Ventures’ Post

Over the past two days, we’ve hosted 26 sessions, 25 speakers, and countless meaningful conversations – all fueled by IDC Ventures’ vision and long-term commitment to founders and investors. Day 2 of the IDC Annual Meeting was all about innovation: 🔹 Bobby Aitkenhead, Alejandro Rodriguez, and Jaclyn Baumgarten explored what makes IDCV unique: our marketplace- and fintech-driven strategy and evolution from fund builder to platform creator – delivering 2x capital returns. We saw firsthand how our portfolio is reshaping industries, including the Rule of 40 for marketplaces. 🔹 Noah Palansky shared how Taiv is transforming in-bar TV advertising. 🔹 Mateo Marietti took us behind the scenes of CookUnity, the tech-powered meal delivery giant transforming the food industry. He shared the company's journey – from its early challenges to its rapid growth – and we had the unique opportunity to hear directly from the chefs, consumers, and team members who make this vision a reality every day. 🔹 Max Reiff shed light on AI, automation, and the age of exponential innovation, while Antonio Baena Marcos provided key insights into the evolution of Fintech in LatAm – two forces shaping the future of global markets. 🔹 Reeta K. Holmes, Niels Ankerstjerne Sloth, and Alejandra Godoy shared a closer look at IDCV’s strategy, performance, and approach to building a durable, founder-first platform for global venture. 🔹 Daniel Shteyn of SuperSim and Fernando Gonzalez of Coru each shared updates from the frontlines of consumer lending in Latin America – from reaching millions of underserved customers to building sustainable and profitable growth in highly competitive markets. 🔹 Richard Aitkenhead delivered a remarkable closing session, taking us through IDC’s 30-year journey and setting the stage for an even bolder future ahead. 🔹 A special recognition to the groundbreaking IDCV projects that took center stage: VC4 FoF Fund of Funds, Protein Capital, and IDC Arena Credit Ventures, each driving innovation and pushing boundaries across venture. To top it all off, we had the honor of learning from bestselling author Florencia Andres, inspiring us to dream bigger and cultivate a winning mindset! An event filled with genuine connections, bold ideas, and a shared vision for the future. #IDCAnnualMeeting #VentureCapital #Founders #Innovation #IDCV
