Scenius LATAM Turns 3: What’s Next?
Announcements for 2025
Happy 2025!
Over the past three years, Scenius LATAM has grown into a community of thousands of readers from top brands across Latin America and beyond.
But this is just the beginning.
The Vision for 2025
Scenius LATAM’s short-and-sharp roundup format has been the foundation of its success. Readers love the concise insights and rave about its brevity. But staying ahead in the fast-moving startup world means going deeper.
This year, I’m evolving Scenius LATAM to take you from what to why—delivering deeper stories, richer insights, and actionable context to help you truly understand the trends shaping LatAm startups and VC scene.
My goal is simple: to make Scenius LATAM the must-read newsletter for anyone invested in the region's startup ecosystem.
The Plan for 2025
In the last three years I have written 110+ weekly briefing editions, 7 Deep Dives analysis, recorded 12 Podcast episodes and hosted 20+ networking events in Mexico and Colombia.
Here’s what’s in store for this year:
Writing 12+ exclusive research reports
Hosting 15+ networking events
Publishing 20+ podcast episodes
Starting a new format of expert interviews about technical topics
And, of course, continuing to deliver the most relevant weekly news—cutting through the noise with sharp insights and no-nonsense reporting.
This year is about raising the bar while staying true to the focus and clarity you’ve come to expect.
Let’s Build Together
Scenius LATAM has always been a passion project. Every edition, podcast, and event has been fueled by a desire to elevate Latin America’s startup scene and put it into the international spotlight.
And I know I am not the only one.
If you are reading this niche newsletter, you probably share the same desire.
This year, I’m introducing a paid tier to keep scaling this vision with you.
Don’t worry—the weekly briefings, will remain free and open to everyone.

Let me introduce myself (again)
My career began as a Large Cap credit analyst for an investment bank in Paris, where I reviewed European and North American Fortune 500 companies, producing financial and market analyses for deals worth hundreds of millions.
Driven by a passion for technology and innovation, I transitioned to a French FinTech as a senior M&A analyst, where I evaluated European private companies and startup fundraising deals. Immersing myself in the startup ecosystem—from assessing business models to forecasting growth potential—ignited my entrepreneurial ambitions.
In 2019, I co-founded Lukount an accounting platform designed to empower Colombian SMBs with better financial management tools. I ran it for 2+ years, handling everything from product to sales and learning extensively about the reality of building a tech company in the process. Today, Lukount operates as a bootstrapped business while I continue supporting its growth as an Advisor.
Since then, I've founded Scenius LATAM Media, advised 10+ international startups on Growth & Content Marketing, and joined Zenani Capital as a Venture Partner. Originally from France, I've spent 7+ years immersed in Latin America's vibrant startup ecosystem, and I'm committed to contributing to its growth for years to come.
Let’s Connect!
I always aim to know my readers better, so I'm opening my calendar for the entire month of January to connect more personally with you over a virtual coffee. You can find time here.
Un abrazo,
Arnaud
