#158 – MISTO, an investment template for Brazilian startups: Christel Moreno, Gunderson Dettmer

<p>We&apos;ve been hearing startup founders all over LatAm for a while now. And we noticed a common reflection from those on a fundraising journey: how a simple and clean investment template could take much of the friction away.</p><p>That&apos;s why we partnered up with law offices such as Gunderson Dettmer to launch <a href='https://www.latitud.com/misto'>MISTO</a> in Brazil. MISTO is a document with optimized terms for investing, with language and practices understood and accepted by both founders and investors.</p><p>Christel Moreno is a partner at Gunderson, leads their São Paulo office, and was deeply involved in the creation of MISTO. In this episode, Christel and I talk about:</p><ul><li>From a legal standpoint, how dealing with startups in LatAm is different from dealing with traditional companies around the world;</li><li>What exactly is MISTO, and what makes it unique in comparison to other startup investment templates;</li><li>Finally, the advice Christel would give startup founders with no legal experience.</li></ul><p>My name&apos;s Brian Requarth and this is the Latitud Podcast.
