Brazil at Silicon Valley

We are happy to continue our partnership with Brazil at Silicon Valley, the most important event gathering the Brazilian tech community in the Valley. The main event lasted two days, on which we took part in two panels: Antoine Colaco spoke about the Venture Landscape in Brazil and was joined by Alex clavel (Softbank), Mercedes Bent (Lightspeed) and Luis Lora (Globo Ventures). On the other hand, Brian Brooks, who recently came onboard as Partner, interviewed Emilie Choi (COO and President at Coinbase).

To make the most of the event, we threw a Happy Hour co-hosted with our friends at Endeavor Catalyst at the end of the first day of events. We also took the opportunity to meet up with some of Stanford’s students to discuss the exciting opportunities we are seeing in LatAm.
