About Steve Vassallo

Rodolfo Gonzalez brings an unusually deep understanding of Latin American financial systems from his operator-level experience working with banks, insurers, and payment processors across the region at McKinsey before becoming a VC, combined with early conviction-driven investments in technically ambitious crypto infrastructure like Solana alongside mainstream LatAm consumer plays. He champions the idea that many banks "run on humans pretending to be software" and backs AI agents that can replace these manual workflows, while focusing on "zero-billion-dollar markets" in financial services that don't yet show up cleanly in traditional market sizing.
