Science & Tech Quote by Eduardo Saverin

The swagger in “like a crazy person” is doing two jobs at once: it sells risk as a personality trait and pre-emptively defangs criticism. Saverin frames aggressive investing not as reckless capital chasing the next hype cycle, but as a kind of kinetic confidence. It’s the language of a founder-turned-financier who understands that in tech, credibility often comes from acting slightly ahead of good sense - or at least sounding that way.

The specificity of “internet start-ups” pegs the quote to a particular era of post-Facebook venture mythology, when the smartest move was assumed to be spreading bets across a swarm of apps, platforms, and promised disruptions. The subtext is signal more than strategy: I’m still in the game, still plugged into the future, still moving faster than traditional money.

Then he pivots: “Brazil ... because I am Brazilian and that’s in my heart.” That’s not a spreadsheet argument; it’s an identity argument. For a global entrepreneur often discussed through the prism of mobility and tax domiciles, “in my heart” reads like reputational repair as much as patriotism. It positions investment as devotion, not extraction - a way to reconcile borderless capital with rooted belonging.

Context matters: emerging markets like Brazil are frequently framed by outsiders as either untapped goldmines or cautionary tales. Saverin’s phrasing tries to short-circuit that gaze. He isn’t “discovering” Brazil; he’s returning to it. The emotional register turns venture capital into a narrative of loyalty, suggesting that the next big bet can also be a homecoming.
