#203: My take on the 2025 Latin America Digital Report by Atlantico, deals of the week and much more!
Weekly writing about what is happening in LatAm tech. By day, I lead the business development team at Itau Unibanco. By night, I am reading and learning about technology in general (now, with a focus on AI). During the weekends, I’m writing the LatAm Tech Weekly.

Happy Sunday!
São Paulo Tech Week 2025 flew by, and suddenly we’re already in mid-September. I didn’t make it to as many gatherings as I would have liked because of agenda conflicts, but I want to take a moment to congratulate everyone who made this week possible.
This edition was extra special: Cubo Itaú celebrated its 10-year anniversary! Congrats team! Also, Atlantico released its Latin America Digital Transformation Report—the much anticipated 178-page X-ray of the region. While I could easily drop the report into ChatGPT for a quick (and very good) summary, this is the kind of material I prefer to read cover to cover.
So without further ado, here’s my take on the report—straight from me, no AI involved. Hope you enjoy it!

ATLANTICO’S LATIN AMERICA DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION REPORT - 2025
THE END OF FRICTION
TLDR version (thank me later)
Like our ancestors — the Incas reading quipus or scribes decoding clay tablets — I too sat down to read Atlantico’s Latin America Digital Transformation Report 2025 cover to cover (178 pages!). And yes, I did it without ChatGPT, because sometimes you just want to learn the old-fashioned way.
A few highlights that stood out to me:
Macro context: $7T economy, 700M people, 5.4% GDP CAGR (2019–2024). Brazil’s rates at 15% and Mexico’s at 8% sound attractive, but FX depreciation over 15 years shows why foreign flows don’t always match local returns.
Energy: Brazil’s >85% clean energy matrix is a hidden gem as AI drives record demand for power and data centers.
Digital adoption: Brazilians spend 9+ hours online daily; WhatsApp is the region’s digital gravity center. E-commerce is frequent, but low ticket size = big upside.
AI: 30% of startups are AI-native, 41% AI-enhanced, and 22% AI-assisted. Founders expect headcount efficiency gains, while Brazil is already a top 3 ChatGPT market.
Capital & returns: LatAm venture funds have, on average, outperformed global peers (with caveats on sample size). Dry powder is building, but exits remain tough with 39 companies stuck pre-IPO.
Fintech revolution: In Brazil, bank branches down 25% since 2018; POS devices up 963% since 2008; fintech credit volumes up 3.7x (2019–2022). Pix is now bigger than cards. Mexico, meanwhile, still fights friction through concentrated banking, regulation, and low bancarization.
Next frontier: Stablecoins are emerging as a real alternative across the region.
My takeaway? Despite volatility, LatAm’s unique combination of scale, digital adoption, and clean energy positions it as a magnet for capital — not just in venture, but in AI infrastructure and financial innovation.
FULL SUMMARY
We all know Latin America carries its share of challenges—political turbulence, regulatory twists, and economic uncertainty that often weigh on innovation and growth. Yet every so often, those headwinds quiet down—or at least fade into the background. That’s the moment we’re living right now.
The Current State of LatAm
7 trillion economy; 700M people, 5.4% compound annual GDP growth (2019-2024)
Interest rates in Brazil are at 15% and in Mexico 8%. While local currencies have generally appreciated against the USD this year, looking over a 15-year window they have in fact depreciated. This implies that, for foreign investors, the high nominal rates may not fully translate into dollar-denominated returns once FX erosion is accounted for.
U.S. tariffs affect the region, but China is also seen as a source of risk by the population.
On the energy side (very important due to the high necessity of power driven by AI) Brazil boats 85%+ clean, diversified and stable energy matrix.
Internet usage outpaces U.S. and China, with the average Brazilian spending more than 9 hours in the internet - mainly as a tool for information gathering. On the social media front, roughly 98% of internet users 16+ of age use a type of social media. WhatsApp is the center of gravity.
Latin Americans are high frequency online shoppers - but the average ticket is still low, suggesting room for growth in the space.
Artificial Intelligence
Every AI inference converts directly into an energy expense. As token volumes surge, the resulting load is driving record investment in data center infrastructure, reshaping global capex priorities and fueling a new wave of capital flows into energy and compute. For Latin America, with its abundant renewable resources and increasingly competitive power markets, this shift positions the region as a potential magnet for global capital seeking efficient, scalable, and sustainable data center expansion.
Productivity = GDP growth. The lower growth rate of LatAm (when compared to the U.S., for example) could mean that there is untapped catch-up potential - that could thus be fueled by the need for energy due to AI.
Brazil is a top 3 market for Chat GPT - and it has become part of everyday life. However, expectations regarding the impact of AI on society and labor has been muted.
LatAm founders report a high level of AI adoption: 30% AI native, 41% AI enhanced, 22% AI assisted. The majority of founders believe that AI will reduce startup headcount by 21%-30%.
Financial & Human Capital
Capital and people operate as a flywheel - one amplifies the other when they are aligned.
LatAm Venture returns have put the region on the map as a destination of robust returns.
Latin America has stabilized post the 2021 peak - data indicates somewhat of a modest shift to early-stage round for local funds and recent growth in Mexico’s share.
Despite the drop in deal size, median check size overall has been increasing, reflecting investor’s selectivity. The deal that is done - is done with certainty.
On the GP side, raising a new fund is challenging. However, slower investment pace has led to a rise in dry powder.
According to a study conducted by Spectra and Atlantico, LatAm venture funds have outperformed their global peers on both realized and unrealized returns. It is important to note, however, that the global dataset includes hundreds of funds, while the LatAm sample covers just 53 vehicles across 28 firms. This could imply that the outperformance is at least partly a reflection of sample bias, survivorship effects, or a higher concentration of top-tier managers rather than a broad structural advantage. That said, it remains an interesting signal of how a relatively young ecosystem can generate competitive returns despite its smaller scale.
LatAm tech penetration has grown exponentially in the last 20 years - and should have 20+ years of compounding ahead. On the flip side, LatAm is facing a tough IPO scenario, creating a backlog of 39 pre-IPO late stage companies.
Similar to the U.S., companies founded by “unicorn alumni” attract more capital- creating the so-called “mafias”
Due to a tougher environment, startups of all stages now hold 2+ years of cash.
Who are the LatAm startup CEOs?
The Atlantico team interviewed 100+ Founders/CEOs, with 140+ companies founded, from 11 different countries.
88% are men (no comments here…)
They grouped them in 5 different types (which I thought made a lot of sense)
Overall, qualities that are part of every type above: hard work, empowering leadership, emotion and empathy.
Fintech, fintech, fintech
Brazil is making the most with reduced friction due to Brazil`s Central Bank regulations that fuel competition.
Number of bank branches fell from over 21k to around 16k (2018–2024), a ~25% decline.
In Class A/B, digital-only or hybrid (digital + physical) users rose from 51% to 62% (2022–2024); in Class C, from 43% to 55%; in Class E/D, from 30% to 53%.
POS devices reached 34MM in 2024, a 963% growth from 2008.
MDR fell to 1.1% and 2.2% in debit and credit cards, respectively, in 2024, a 31% and 24% reduction versus 2014.
Total receivable volumes surged 8x since 2021, with discount rates more aligned to the base interest rate.
Number of credit fintechs rose from 11 to 130 (2019–2024).
Total credit volume from credit fintechs grew from R$78B to R$291B (2019–2022), a 3.7x increase.
Fintechs’ share of total credit grew from 0.3% to 0.8%. Digital banks’ share of total credit grew from 1.9% to 4.6% (2019–2022).
PIX has already surpassed “cards” and “others” as means of payment
1/3 of the Brazilian population has provided consent to data sharing in the context of Open Finance
Mexico is building around friction
High concentration, heavy regulation - generating distrust
low bancarization - leading to retailers gaining relevance to offer financial services
still, companies like Cobre emerge in the middle of cash dominance and labor informality
Stablecoins are definitely the next frontier

Endeavor released Brazil’s first Founder Liquidity study, surveying 118 tech founders.
