TowerXchange: Please tell us about the origins of Brazil Tower Company (BTC).
Dr Chahram Zolfaghari, CEO, BTC:
Brazil Tower Company was conceived of in 2011 in Miami between myself and three lawyer friends of mine. We wrote our first business plan on a napkin, and named ourselves Brazil Tower Company because we wanted to do for Brazil what American Tower Company had done for the USA! We secured seed capital from 1848 Capital while my management team and I also put some money in.
