Throughout history, technological and business innovations have repeatedly transformed industries by leveling the playing field, democratizing access, improving efficiencies of scale, and reducing the cost and burden of providing services. This process can be likened to the concept of a “normalization engine”—an orchestrating force that standardizes access, lowers barriers to entry, and creates a more inclusive and efficient market environment. https://lnkd.in/ey7CAY6d

We would like to welcome Andres Sucre, co-founder and CEO of logistics company Reservamos, as our new #VenturePartner based in Mexico City, focused on supply chain and logistics technology. There is no denying the unprecedented growth in export manufacturing and trade that Mexico and the United States have achieved in recent years. For the first time in history, the competitive cost structures, deep pools of labor, and growing scale and capabilities across diverse industries have made Mexico the largest trading partner of the United States. This has created a vacuum of opportunity for countless startups to provide technology, efficiency, and scale to various sectors including payments, near-shoring, cross-border trade, manufacturing and logistics. The digital transformation of the region has coincided with the global political and economic shifts that favor Mexico and the cross-border economy. #logistics #manufacturing #LatAm #crossborder https://lnkd.in/eimjPn5r

US infrastructure across energy, communications, transportation, waste, and water systems is increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. This is a result of both the growing sophistication of cyber threats and the integration of new technologies into these critical systems (historically, infrastructure was less interconnected and more isolated). We believe this is both an enormous problem and opportunity for emerging startups and incumbents to solve. https://lnkd.in/eqxX_Zgi
