A special livestream discussion:

Venture Capital and Startup Trends in Latin America

View Video.

Never before have the startup opportunities been so extraordinary all across Latin America. The past ten years have seen an explosion in venture capital investments in the region, driven by success stories such as Rappi, founded by three guys from Colombia who participated in Y-Combinator in Silicon Valley, then returned to Bogotá and raised $1 billion in venture capital from SoftBank.

As we sit here at the mid-point in 2021, what are the current LatAm trends? Where are the next big opportunities? How are the Latin American capital markets different from the US? We had a fascinating discussion with an exceptional panel of experts from across the region.
