Testimony

Avigo brings an unparalleled knowledge and understanding of the payments market and has been instrumental in helping us develop the future vision for our company. In particular, Jim has played an important role in educating and advising a new leadership team around market opportunity, helping us to formulate a clear, concise business strategy. Jim also brings tremendous energy and passion to his work, which helps energize those around him. We highly recommend Avigo and would certainly work with them again.

Avigo has world-class partners who help us with accurate advice in the growth and structuring phases we are experiencing. They have solid experience once they have worked on the growth of payment companies that have been sold or processed hundreds of billions of reais in volume. Avigo has played an important role in the growth of CloudWalk in 2017 and will certainly continue to do so in the upcoming years.

I have had the opportunity to work with Avigo for almost 2 years now, and my experience with them has been amazing. They have not only helped us think about how we run our day-to-day operations, but they have also been instrumental in helping us develop our long-term strategy for the business. Avigo brings a unique perspective to our business, as the partners have both Silicon Valley technology backgrounds and Brazil operating experience. This type of experience is rare, and is Avigo’s unfair competitive advantage at the end of the day.

Avigo has been an exceptional consultant to work with as IdentityMind Global finds increasing demand for its digital identity-based risk management, anti-fraud and compliance platform and product solutions in the payments and fintech markets in Latin America. Avigo clearly understands the regional cultural and regulatory requirements and has demonstrated an ability for strategic thinking and actionable intelligence.

Jim has been a valuable partner to TCV during our journey with RMS. When we originally conceived of the investment thesis to acquire a merchant service provider in the UK, Jim was an important thought-partner as we evaluated the strategic, operational and technological challenges and growth vectors that we may face throughout our investment period. During due diligence, Jim brought a discerning eye to each functional area, providing an astute “operator’s perspective” as we identified and thought through various value creation initiatives. After we made our investment, Jim joined the company full-time as Executive Director and Board Member, supporting TCV as we recruited and integrated a completely new management team. We are grateful for Jim’s ongoing support during the next chapter for RMS. Onward!

Fastcash choose to work with Avigo because of their extensive, and rare combination of Brazilian and international payments business, but, on top of that, we found entrepreneurial partners inspiring us to build a great tech company.
