This looks cool! I've been bullish on Latin America since remote became more popular. It's natural that people in the US would want to hire someone in more similar timezone and culture than people on the other side of the world.

There are great people everywhere, but in my view, it's been much harder to source good people from Latam than it is from Eastern Europe or South Asia.

This was a super interesting and digestible read. I especially liked the angle of how public policy influences trends in fintech. I'd love to learn more from examples over the past few decades.

I think the initial use case of this will be with everyone’s videos in rectangles floating in space. People are already comfortable with video. It’s much more natural to glance at a shared workspace and then up at them, than it is in a current call where their video gets covered by another window on your screen.

This is a great effort that will open the doors to many people who haven't even thought they were able to attend this type of school. If only more universities did things like this, you'd start to hopefully see more equality of access to opportunities rather than the traditional "good high school grades->good undergraduate degree" wheel that many don't necessarily fall into for one reason or another.
