Gonzalo Costa co-founded NXTP in 2011 as one of the first regional seed funds focused on Latin America, helping build the early-stage venture ecosystem across multiple countries rather than just one local market. He frames Argentina's repeated economic crises as creating unusually resilient, execution-focused founders and positions this macro volatility as an investable advantage rather than a risk.

• Strong championing of the Latin American startup ecosystem and portfolio success. Frequently amplifies wins for regional companies like Cornershop and specifically highlights the social impact of portfolio companies like Zolvers, which helps improve the lives of women in the region through better employment access.
• Appreciation for founder transparency and solid investor relations. Specifically praised a portfolio company raising a Series A for maintaining a data room that included every investor report since the beginning, highlighting that it is never too early to establish clear communication patterns with stakeholders.
• Focus on Fintech and EdTech sectors. Actively engages in the debate between traditional banking and modern financial technology, noted by a presentation given to bank executives using market data to highlight the threat and opportunity of fintech. Also shows appreciation for educational technology by sharing insights from other investors in the space.
• Value placed on continuous learning and trying new skills. Shares personal experiences with stepping out of a comfort zone, such as learning to use design software for carpentry projects or picking up musical instruments, describing the process as incredibly energizing.
• Advocacy for practical corporate innovation. Suggests that the best way for large corporations to engage with and learn from the startup world is not through complex programs, but simply by having the courage to become clients of the startups.
