We work with companies that are led by entrepreneurs who are in the tech space across any industry vertical. Our programs are adapted depending if you are a small business owner or a startup founder. Typically the earliest stage a startup enters is when they have a product fit and gained some traction in their home market.

Once graduated, you’ll become part of our alumni community, which provides you with lifetime access to a global ecosystem of founders and mentors.

We do not take any equity. We do not ask participating startups to give up any ownership. We would much rather invest in your next round of funding. We also do not take any commission on sales proceedings during or after any meetings that we create for you during the course of the program.

As the program will be taught in English, we recommend that at least one of the team members has a strong understanding of English.

Not at this present time. However, we hope to provide funding in the very near future. We do leverage our connections in the investment community to provide our startups with direct access to funding.

Whilst naturally this may occur as we connect you with mentors, experts and advisors in your industry, we do not actively go out and do lead generation for your company.

No, we are not a marketing agency, we do have a range of partners who we can connect you with to help with your marketing needs.

We are always open to event sponsorship whether it be in Miami or Latin America. Please get in contact with us to discuss your sponsorship requirements.

With the exception of our programs, we provide working and meeting spaces, as well as regular host events in Miami and across Latin America. We love getting together in person when possible and organizing offline programs such as workshops, conference meet ups, and pitch nights. Check out our events page to see if there are any events coming up soon you would like to attend.

We assist with the US Market Entry for Latin American entrepreneurs by offering unique programs catered to the specific needs of each company. Varying from one-on-one to cohort based learning, our proven methodologies and market knowledge support companies in understanding the cultural and business barriers so they can successfully launch their ventures in Miami. We also provide programs to Governments and Non Governmental Organizations to help build bridges between their local entrepreneurs and the US tech ecosystems.

We tend to run these in cohort programs in various formats catered to your specific needs. Generally most programs run for at least 4 weeks where we teach early stage startups everything they need to know for a soft landing in the US market. Startups go through the program in a cohort of 8-12 other companies from LATAM learning from industry experts, mentors as well as the community of cohorts. We work with each company individually to formulate an action plan for what they want to achieve during the program. Actionable goals and milestones will be set and tracked throughout the program. Get in touch with our team to discuss how we can tailor your program for your local startup ecosystem.

Typically most programs require a minimum commitment of 4-6 hours per week to attend the workshops. But after that much time you invest in the programs is largely up to you. We understand that many of you will be working around families and jobs, and we fully support and respect these commitments and work our hardest to ensure we accommodate your requirements as much as possible.

All of our programs are run virtually, we are big believers in the power of global access and flexibility that a remote, virtual community creates.
