Friends of Orbit, 

We’re halfway through the year and so much has happened in our Orbit ecosystem, ups and downs alike as the markets continue to be challenging. For this edition of our newsletter we sat down with Managing General Partner Oscar Ramos to discuss the importance of transforming traditional industries in emerging markets and how companies in Latin America can learn from Asia’s wins. 

More on this and how we’ve been supporting Korean startups entering new markets below.

Until next time!

Unlocking investment opportunities in Emerging Markets 🌎

At BEYOND Expo 2024, Oscar Ramos, Managing General Partner at Orbit Startups, shares insights on harnessing investment opportunities in emerging regions like Latin America and what we can learn from Asia’s wins.

💡 Micro SMEs in Asia have moved from paper-based operations to fully digital mobile SaaS solutions, adopting business models that differ significantly from those in developed economies.

💡 Asian investors have a significant opportunity to bring not just capital but also expertise, networks, and connections to Latin America. Brazil has been nurturing strong relationships with Asia with local companies successfully employing Asia strategies to scale and become leaders in their home market. This approach proved successful in Southeast Asia, where many companies received funding and strategic support from other Asian investors, ultimately creating strong local winners.
