Welcome to Season 4 of The J Curve đď¸
Itâs rare to meet a founder who bootstrapped for two decadesâthen brought Warburg Pincus, SoftBank, and Microsoft onto his cap table. This week, I sat down with Roberto Oliveira, founder of Blip, the company powering billions of conversations across WhatsApp in Latin America. We covered a 25-year founder journey that began with mobile phone booths and evolved into one of Brazilâs most powerful AI platforms.
Hereâs what we cover:
⢠Why websites and apps are being replaced by messagingâand how brands need to adapt now
⢠How AI is transforming sales, marketing, and customer service
⢠Why Brazil is the perfect lab for the future of business
⢠The playbook for taking Blip global, where the biggest opportunities lie, and why the U.S. is lagging behind
This oneâs about product timing, strategic architecture, and building a truly global companyâstarting from Belo Horizonte.
