In this week’s episode we chat with Antonio Molins, co-founder of Justos, a Brazilian insurtech company that’s changing the way car insurance is sold and priced in Brazil.
Justos has raised more than $38M in venture capital from top tier funds such as Kaszek, Ribbit Capital, Softbank and others.
Prior to co-founding Justos, Antonio studied at both MIT and Harvard where he got exposure to academic research in the fields of medicine and neuroscience. After that, he worked at Goldman Sachs with the goal of helping to change the financial services industry, and then he spent almost six years at Netflix, where he helped build the company’s recommendation system.
After more than 15 years in the US, Antonio moved back to Spain to serve as Chief Data Officer at Spanish startup Clarity, before finally embarking on the Justos journey.
Antonio has a ton of experience in AI, data science and related fields, so if you’re interested in those areas, this is a must listen.
Hope you enjoy it!
