When Leonardo got tired of working in the corporate world, he turned his attention to entrepreneurship. He contacted his university friend, Rafael, who was working then in Brazil with a startup called Gocase. Leonardo’s love for adventure carried on to his career. Fast forward to five years, Gocase already is in the international market and in addition to it, they also have Jump Ventures.

 

Jump Ventures is a mix of incubator and venture capital which sets them apart from other similar companies. They help companies from start to planning and achieving their growth plan which is a sustainable strategy for growth. While there is no one-size-fits-all strategy for brands, Leonardo shares how Jump Ventures were able to achieve growth for every company they work with.

 

It’s an insightful episode as you’d hear Kunle and Leonardo talk more about what Jump Ventures is and does, growth methodology, demand generation, the importance of testing, and what a magic number means.
