Documented cause
Egg Education was a Buenos Aires-based edtech using peer-to-peer learning methodology ('Egg Rooms') for corporate upskilling and university partnerships. It raised $12M from Kaszek Ventures and others by 2021. The company expanded across 8 Latin American countries simultaneously, creating massive operational overhead without matching revenue. Argentina's macroeconomic crisis of 2022-2023 caused corporate clients to slash training budgets, dropping Egg's B2B revenue by 45%. A Series B attempt in early 2023 failed; in 2024, assets were acquired by an Argentine university network for under $1M.
Lesson
“Multi-country LatAm expansion before achieving country-level profitability destroys unit economics irreversibly.”
