001. Kevin Efrusy, Accel | From Investing in Facebook to Investing in LatAm’s Startups and Youth: This is my first episode, and I couldn't be more grateful to start with such an incredible guest. Today, I had Kevin Efrusy on the show. Kevin joined Accel Partners in 2003 and was the lead investor in companies like Groupon, Couchbase, and Facebook, which is likely one of the best venture investments of all time. The story of how he leveraged a “prepared mind” to source Facebook and convince Mark Zuckerberg in 2005 to accept the Accel deal earned him a feature in Sebastian Mallaby's book 'The Power Law'. Kevin also began Accel's Latin America initiatives, leading to investments in Despegar, Gympass, Nuvemshop, and Quinto Andar. He has been a significant supporter of LatAm’s startup ecosystem since its early days, personally investing in two of the leading venture funds in the region, Kaszek and Monashees, and helping many other founders.
