Rodrigo Teijeiro shared thisXavier Ibanez (New CFO), welcome to RecargaPay! 🚀 🙌 Two weeks ago, in a company retreat, we aligned the whole company around our philosophy: AI First. Think bigger. Make it happen faster. Own the outcome. Make it exceptional. You walked in already speaking that language. After nearly two decades advising the best financial and tech companies in the region, you chose to stop advising and start building, and that says everything! Proud to have you with us for this next exciting chapter. 💪 Vamos con toda! #relentlessRodrigo Teijeiro shared thisAfter nearly two decades advising innovative financial and tech companies in Latin America, I learned where the real upside is: inside them. That’s why I’m excited to share that I’ve joined RecargaPay as CFO, at a pivotal moment for the company. I followed the company for years. I witnessed its transformation from mobile top-ups to a full payments and financial ecosystem, through disciplined execution, constant product innovation and profitability, a combination few sustain. Add a deep bench of talent and an AI-first mindset, and the opportunity ahead is extraordinary. Thank you to the founders Rodrigo Teijeiro, Alvaro Teijeiro and Gustavo Victorica for your trust, and to my team Priscilla Mistura Lopez, Felipe Montenegro, Natalia Favre and Patricio Gentile for such a warm welcome. Thrilled to build what’s next together! Grateful to Naiara Albuquerque at Globo for the conversation about why I made this move and where I see RecargaPay heading.

Rodrigo Teijeiro shared thisGustavo Victorica is awesome! 🚀💪Rodrigo Teijeiro shared thisMais IA significa mais impacto? Depende. No Rio Innovation Week, o Co-Founder e COO Gustavo Victorica trouxe uma provocação importante sobre o uso de IA nos negócios: com a execução cada vez mais acessível, o diferencial está em saber onde aplicar a tecnologia e, principalmente, como transformá-la em impacto real. Aqui no RecargaPay, a IA está presente em todas as frentes e times para aumentar a eficiência e transformar isso em benefícios para quem mais importa: o cliente. Isso se traduz em melhores taxas, crédito mais assertivo, mais confiança e satisfação no atendimento, entre muitas outras coisas. Se o investimento em tokens não melhora os números do negócio, o trabalho dos funcionários e a experiência do cliente, talvez você não precise de ferramentas melhores, mas de perguntas melhores. #RecargaPayNoRIW #RIW2026 #RecargaPay #QuemTemRecargaPayAcelera

Rodrigo Teijeiro shared thisMucho antes de emprender, aprendí una lección que ningún libro me dio: el “learn by doing” de Junior Achievement Américas . Hay algo mágico en el hacer, en construir algo real desde cero. Esa fue la semilla que pavimentó mi camino como emprendedor. Si tenés la oportunidad de participar o ayudar, hacelo. Te cambia la vida. 🙌Rodrigo Teijeiro shared thisMucho antes de fundar RecargaPay, una de las principales fintech de Brasil, Rodrigo Teijeiro participó en programas de Junior Achievement siendo estudiante. Hoy, como emprendedor, inversor y miembro del Board de Junior Achievement Américas, sigue convencido de que el talento necesita algo más que buenas ideas: necesita oportunidades para desarrollarse. Cada año, más de 40.000 jóvenes en América Latina crean y lideran empresas reales a través de La Compañía, el programa insignia de emprendimiento de Junior Achievement. Es un comienzo. Pero todavía hay cientos de miles de jóvenes que podrían vivir esa misma experiencia. Conoce cómo estamos ampliando ese acceso: 👉 www.juniorstartup.org #YouthEntrepreneurship #LearningByDoing #FutureOfWork

Rodrigo Teijeiro reposted thisRodrigo Teijeiro reposted thisMost investors are under exposed to Brazil not because it lacks opportunity but because it looks hard. Fortunes will be made by those that take the time to understand the fundamentals. Who will win the election? Why is Brazil a safe haven amidst geopolitical turmoil? Who is building the next $100Bn company? How are banks protecting the 75% of the profit pool they still hold? We answered these questions (and many more) during Atlantico's Brazil Trek last month, based on conversations with nearly 100 of the country's leaders. Today, a month later, we are sharing a sneak peek in these video highlights as well as making the full summary document available in response to the hundreds of requests to our original post. We annotated the original document for you and included the link for the full download on X (@juliov - I'm sharing the link in the comments). If you like what you read, we ask you to kindly help spread our work by liking and sharing it.

Rodrigo Teijeiro shared thisThank you, Noël Zemborain . It's a privilege to be part of such a committed and forward thinking board. The energy in this group is unlike any other... and yes, the Miami Heat experience made it even more memorable! Let's keep building the next generation of leaders. 🚀 🙌 Vamoooo!Rodrigo Teijeiro shared thisBoards matter. A lot! Not just for governance. They shape direction, challenge thinking, open doors, and step in when it really matters. So grateful to the Junior Achievement Américas Board. Having such a sharp and committed group makes a real difference. Your insights are always valuable, but what stands out even more is the level of support and true skin in the game. It’s a privilege to work with all of you. There’s a classic idea that Board members bring the 3 Ts: talent, time and treasure. What I see in this group goes further. There is trust, tenacity, and a real commitment to make things happen. That is what makes the difference. A special welcome to Tobias Iglesias, who joins representing JA Americas Alumni, bringing a young voice into our conversations and strategy. It keeps us close to the real journeys of the young people we serve. We also shared a unique and fun moment at the #MiamiHeat game, connecting beyond the boardroom. And the surprise: I wasn’t expecting to step onto the court for the first time and hold the ball… I was ready for a three-pointer! Thank you Rakesh Shalia for hosting the meeting, and FedEx for being such a strong partner across the JA Worldwide network. Let’s keep preparing and inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders!

Rodrigo Teijeiro reacted on thisRodrigo Teijeiro reacted on thisToday Fitch Ratings assigned RP Financeira, RecargaPay’s regulated financial institution, its first national ratings: A-(bra) long term and F2(bra) short term, with a Stable Outlook. This is the first time a global agency has put a public rating on our numbers. It reflects how we’ve built RecargaPay: profitable growth, a solid balance sheet and regulatory discipline. Recargapay is now an issuer that can be measured, compared and tracked, enabling us to optimize our funding profile. Fitch highlighted our established digital payments franchise, strong governance and risk controls, liquidity and an increasingly diversified funding base. Thank you to the team Priscilla Mistura Lopez, Felipe Montenegro, Patricio Gentile, Francisco Armellin, Joel Caponi Bonaldi and many others who participated in the process, and to the Fitch analysts for their rigorous and professional work.

Rodrigo Teijeiro reacted on thisRodrigo Teijeiro reacted on thisGameto, my sixth unicorn, was just acquired by Ferring for $1.38 billion. In 2020 I endowed a fellowship at Harvard in my father’s name, Carlos M. Varsavsky, in the lab of George Church, one of the world’s leading geneticists. Its goal: to make human eggs in the lab. Gameto grew out of it. Ferring Pharmaceuticals, the Swiss fertility drug maker, is acquiring Gameto for up to $1.3825 billion. I am a co-founder. This is its story. I came to fertility in 2016 with Prelude Fertility, a network of US clinics I built, now part of Inception, the largest fertility network in North America. Inside those clinics I learned that IVF works, but it is brutal. For two weeks a woman injects herself with hormones so her ovaries release many eggs at once: around 28 shots, ultrasounds, blood tests, bloating and mood swings. Many women go through it once and never again. Every one who stops is a pregnancy that never happens. Fertilo lasts 3 days and takes one shot. That is a huge improvement. In 2020 we started Gameto with about $3 million from friends, among them Brian Armstrong of Coinbase, Jack Abraham of Atomic and Shervin Pishevar, an early Uber investor. Making an egg proved enormously hard; nobody has done it yet. The fellowship paid for the PhD of Christian Kramme, a Californian geneticist who worked out at the Harvard team on how to make in the lab the cells that surround an egg in the ovary and help it mature. He is now Gameto’s chief scientific officer and has been fundamental in our development. In 2021 I brought in Dina Turner as co-founder and CEO. She was 26, a physician trained at University College London who had competed in STEMM olympiads, and one of the brightest people I have ever worked with. Many questioned the bet on someone that young. It paid off incredibly well. I had a moonshot and a fellowship. Dina turned them into a very successful company. She looked at Christian’s cells and saw a product: if the egg was out of reach, we would do the ovary’s work in the lab. That became Fertilo. With Fertilo a woman takes hormones for two or three days, about 80% fewer shots. Her eggs are collected immature and spend a day in the lab with those cells, which do the ovary’s job. Then they are fertilized as in any IVF cycle. The cells never enter her body. On December 16, 2024, the first baby conceived this way was born in Lima. By August there were five babies and more than twenty pregnancies. Three gentle rounds beat one painful round many don't want to repeat. Gameto is the sixth company I have built to pass a billion dollars, after Viatel, Jazztel, Ya.com, Eolia Renovables, sold in 2017, and Inception Fertility, which absorbed Prelude. Telecoms, internet, clean energy, clinics, biotech: nothing in common, and in every one the team mattered most. Thank you to Dina, to Christian and to the whole absolutely brilliant Gameto team. We will go on with Ferring to turn Fertilo into a mass product available to all women.

Rodrigo Teijeiro liked thisRodrigo Teijeiro liked thisFour months after starting 20VC, I was interviewing for an analyst role at a Tier 1 firm. I was 18, I had done 12 20VC shows and there was just one condition to the job; if I got it, I had to stop doing the podcast. 4 out of 5 partners voted to hire me. But they needed unanimous consent, and I was rejected. I remember calling my mother up from outside the office of the firm. I was devastated. At the time it was the thing I wanted more than anything. Little did I know that that one partner who voted no changed my life forever in a way that I will always be so truly grateful for. Often what seems like the greatest setbacks just might be the greatest catalysts to your future. Embrace them. Only you decide the next chapter.

Rodrigo Teijeiro reacted on thisRodrigo Teijeiro reacted on thisI believe trust is at the heart of every innovative and impactful organization. It gives us the confidence to speak openly, share what excites us and what worries us, listen to different perspectives, question our own ideas, surprise each other and discover new paths. Easy to say, much harder to put into practice. Because trust is part of an organizations culture, and culture needs to be nurtured. There is something very special about bringing together people who share a passion, care deeply about what they do and are willing to challenge each other to keep growing. And thats exactly what we experienced during three intense days at our Junior Achievement Américas Leadership Summit and Regional Board Meeting in Buenos Aires. What a privilege to have leaders from Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America in the same room! Different countries, realities and experiences, all bringing their perspectives and commitment to our shared mission. We explored relational intelligence, strategy, impact measurement, resilience and sustainability, artificial intelligence and fundraising. We shared ideas, asked difficult questions, learned from each other and discovered new possibilities for our network. And what a setting! Thanks to Sean Summers, our Regional Board Chair, and Mercado Libre, we had the opportunity to meet at their amazing offices, a great example of innovation, ambition and grit in Latin America. Of course, we also made time to connect, laugh, dance some tango and share a little bit of Buenos Aires with our colleagues! I feel very fortunate to be part of this network and to work alongside such talented, passionate and committed people. A huge thank you to our country leaders and Board Chairs, and to our Regional Board members for making the trip and sharing so generously. And to our regional team for making it all happen. I left these three days with new ideas, fresh perspectives and so much enthusiasm for everything we can achieve together! #JuniorAchievement #Leadership #InspiringYouth JA Worldwide
