Hey there,

After a quiet 2022 for Emergent (we published our last piece in February), I’m very excited to announce that Emergent is coming back with a bang in 2023! We’ll be posting 50 breakdowns this year analyzing 50 of the fastest growing businesses in emerging markets.

As a reintroduction (in case you’ve forgotten) my name is Mikal Khoso and I’m an early-stage venture capital investor and I was born in Asia, grew up in Africa and spent the last few years in the US. I’ve invested over $100m in 30+ startups across the US, LATAM, Africa and Asia. I’m fascinated by the business models, products and unique challenges and opportunities of building a startup in an emerging market.

Next week we’ll publish our first breakdown of the year analyzing Mexican online car buying platform Kavak and its unique growth story.

If there someone else in your network who you think would enjoy these breakdowns please forward this email along to them. See you next week!

Mikal
