GVR Podcast: Distributing opportunity with Héctor Shibata, AC Ventures

Sectors like retail and logistics came out of the pandemic stronger than ever. For the CVC of a beverage distributor, this is not only good news but also a reason not to fear the current economic conditions.

Héctor Shibata, head of AC Ventures, the corporate venturing arm of Arca Continental, joined the Global Venturing Review podcast to talk about the unit’s investment approach and how Latin America presents massive opportunities for domestic and foreign investors despite some archaic business attitudes.

He also describes how CVCs need to ease entrepreneurs part the scepticism they may have about working with CVCs, how building a CVC team is like putting together a special forces squad and how the current chapter in AC Ventures’ story is called “growth”.
