I'm preparing for the Cloud Computing World Forum in Sao Paulo, Brazil next week. Amazon was only known for books when last I was in Sao Paulo, and the only clouds I cared about were those about to release a deluge.
From everything I've read, watched, and listened to over the last several years, Brazil has become the economic powerhouse I suspected it would be during my last visit in 2004. Folks had encourage me to invest in Brazil in some manner back then, as I was travelling there almost annually at that point. I didn't know quite how to start, and so it never did quite come together. Well, with some encouragement from Jon Karlen at Flybridge Capital Partners, I return.
