Why Latin America?
van Ammers explains Outlier’s decision to focus on Latin America stems from recognizing the region's unique characteristics:
* A young, tech-savvy demographic
* High inflation rates in some countries, creating a need for alternative financial solutions
* Gaps in traditional banking access, opening opportunities for innovative fintech solutions
* A growing pool of talented engineers and entrepreneurs with fresh perspectives on Web3 application
