The LatAm Climate Edge with Ben Zehr, Reciprocal

This week on La Frontera, we sit down with Ben Zehr, Co-Founder of Reciprocal, to explore one of the most underfunded opportunities in venture today: climate tech in Latin America.Despite representing ~8% of global GDP and holding ~40% of the world’s biodiversity, the region receives less than 0.5% of global climate venture capital. Ben breaks down why that gap exists, what investors are missing, and where the most compelling opportunities are emerging.We dive into Reciprocal’s “LatAm Climate Edge,” including natural capital, technical talent, and market readiness, as well as key investment theses across energy, agriculture, and materials.We also discuss how Reciprocal is building the connective tissue between founders, corporates, and global capital and why narrative, not just fundamentals, determines where money flows.Since recording, Reciprocal has grown to a team of seven and is now raising capital to invest directly into climate startups across the region.If you’re an investor, founder, or operator interested in climate or Latin America, this episode offers a clear lens into where the next wave of opportunity may come from.

Fintech Storytelling, Building Credit & Credibility with Andrew Endicott, Gilgamesh Ventures

We sat down with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewendicott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Andrew Endicott</a>, GP at Gilgamesh Ventures and former co-founder and president of Petal—one of the earliest fintech companies to challenge traditional credit underwriting by using cash-flow data instead of credit scores.It’s one of those conversations that looks like a fintech episode on the surface, but ends up being something deeper: a discussion about how people make decisions inside complex systems, how founders earn trust over time, and why Latin America continues to produce some of the most compelling fintech businesses in the world.Andrew brings a rare mix of perspectives to the table. He’s a lawyer by training, a founder who built inside U.S. financial regulation, and now an investor who’s spent years developing pattern recognition across the U.S. and Latin America. He’s thoughtful without being academic, opinionated without being dogmatic—and refreshingly honest about what he doesn’t know.We talk about fintech complexity, regulatory tradeoffs, the capital cycle behind lending businesses, storytelling as companies scale, and the “light-bulb moment” that led to Gilgamesh’s LatAm thesis. We also wander into employee compensation, investor psychology, and why spending time away from screens might be one of the most underrated founder skills.If you’re a founder building in fintech—or an investor trying to understand why some teams win and others stall—this episode is pure gold.
