Growth and Diversification in LatAm’s Gig Economy

LatAm's location-based gig economy has seen rapid growth since the early 2010s, fueled by the spread of ride-hailing services and delivery apps across major markets. The pandemic drove further expansion in delivery services while ride-hailing briefly faltered. In recent years, intra-regional migration has provided a steady influx of gig workers, increasing service affordability and overall adoption. Looking ahead, we expect the gig economy in LatAm to see continued growth — not just in transportation and delivery but also in new service sectors and supporting businesses geared toward the unique needs of LatAm gig platforms and their workers.

AI Content Feeds Redefine Digital Creativity and Engagement

AI-powered content feeds like Meta’s Vibes and OpenAI’s Sora are changing the way people discover and share creativity online, opening up new creative tools and opportunities for personal expression. At the same time, it is no longer enough to watch these changes happen. We need to confront, question, and challenge how they are reshaping engagement itself and dictating which interactions survive. Those who fail to study how these technologies evolve will be blind to both their disruption and the consequences that come as they dominate everyday life across almost every facet of society.

Web Shops Reshape Direct-to-Consumer Value and Responsibility

As web shops move from regulatory curiosity to industry standard, the opportunity for game developers has never been greater—but so too are the responsibilities. The new web shop paradigm promises higher margins, operational independence, and richer direct-to-consumer relationships. However, it also introduces new operational and compliance burdens previously shielded by platform gatekeepers. Ultimately, the winners will not be those who merely adopt web shops, but those who harness this new infrastructure to deliver genuinely better experiences for both players and businesses—balancing efficiency, trust, and innovation. The path forward will reward those who can embrace these tools to not only recapture revenue but reimagine what value looks like in a world where the walls are finally coming down.

Control and Value Define the Future of Digital Identity

Control and Value Define the Future of Digital Identity We believe that the most successful companies creating digital fingerprints for users will offer consumers three things: 1) control (or partial control) of their data; 2) a share in the economic value that is created; and 3) seamless integration into the consumer’s online behaviors. Today, many companies might have one (or perhaps two) of these aspects, yet we believe all three will be key aspects of some of the world’s most valuable consumer facing companies going forward. In video gaming, there is a natural convergence of digitally native consumers who are quite savvy about their digital footprint. We expect that gaming companies, especially the next wave of early-stage founders, will play a major role in this trend as it unfolds over the next five years.

The Phone Evolves Into a Seamless Ambient Device

Phones are here to stay, but the way we use them is evolving. We anticipate that phones will increasingly be valued as powerful computing devices, prized for their efficiency and capabilities. In the coming years, we will rely less on physically interacting with our phones, which could help us break the habit of spending hours staring at our screens, without losing the benefits these devices offer. Looking ahead, the combination of new interactivity layers with AI and our phones’ computing power will create a seamless connection between our physical and digital worlds. This shift will empower people to stay present and engaged in the moment, while still enjoying the convenience and value that mobile technology provides.
