From LPs to Exits: Building a Top-Tier VC Fund with Cristobal Perdomo, Wollef VC

from La Frontera: Bridging Startups and VCs Across the Americas · host Cyrus Bakhshi, Thomas Barrett

In our very first episode, we sit down with Cristobal Perdomo, co-founder of Wollef VC, to unpack what it takes to build and scale a top VC fund in Latin America. Cristobal shares how he raised his first fund, the key differences between LP bases in Mexico, the U.S., and Brazil, and why foreign investors need strong local partnerships to succeed in the region. We also dive into the challenges of exits in LatAm, the role of IPOs and M&A in creating liquidity, and whether it’s still too early to truly judge the potential for long-term success of VC in the region. You can find show notes, deep dives, and other great content, in our newsletter 👉 ⁠https://www.lafronterapodcast.com⁠Song is ⁠⁠Me Quema⁠⁠ by The Berger / Sanchez Project
