Fluent Ventures backs replicated startup models in emerging markets
Fluent Ventures, with $40 million, is backing founders who are replicating proven business models in fintech, health, and commerce.
More than 75 unicorn founders and VCs back the fund, including David Vélez (Nubank), Nick Nash (Sea Group), Akshay Garg (Kredivo), and Sean Harper (Kin), alongside institutional LPs and family offices from around the world.
