ON THE MOVE
A special thanks to all the VCs who met us in person the last couple of weeks at LAVCA programs:
Our inaugural VC in NY program welcomed fifteen LatAm fund managers, including LAVCA members from Astella Investimentos, Aurus, Capital Invent, Cygnus, Equitas Capital, Jaguar Ventures, LIV Capital, NXTP Labs, Polymath Ventures, Promotora, RutaN, and Variv Capital, to engage one-on-one with players in New York’s venture ecosystem.
And last week we met with fund managers at Google’s headquarters in São Paulo for our bi-annual Brazil Venture Investors Peer Exchange. This edition welcomed special guests Roy Glasberg, Global Lead of Google’s Launchpad programs, and Ronaldo Lemos, Director of the Instituto de Tecnologia e Sociedade do Rio de Janeiro (ITS-RIO) and one of the creators of Marco Civil da Internet, for a timely session about Brazil’s latest WhatsApp blackout. Discussion leaders included Monashees Capital, Valor Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, KaszeK Ventures, Redpoint e.Ventures, and e.Bricks Ventures. The next edition will be held in Q4 2016.
