In 2013, @velez_david pitched @Sequoia on disrupting Brazil's banks as an industry outsider with no banking or tech experience. Today, @Nubank serves 100M+ customers as LatAm's most valuable financial company—proving outsiders with conviction can win big.

Within minutes of meeting @sanazyashar, I wanted to work with her – she is smart, resilient and makes ample use of the word “we.” Sanaz, @BenSeri87, @snir_h and the @Zafran_io team continue to impress us @Sequoia, and we are proud to lead their Series A.
