A couple of weeks ago, at Draper Startup House & Draper Startup House, we closed off our 1st #DraperFoundersProgram in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷. Though expected, it was great to see first-hand how many challenges founders face in Chile 🇨🇱, Argentina 🇦🇷, and Uruguay 🇺🇾 are also there in Brazil (and in Cabo Verde 🇨🇻). In this post, I wanted to point out a very relevant aspect of our programs: the in-person interaction between founders 🤝, which is promoted through specific workshops but also a consequence of sharing time together in sessions, networking activities, and other social and cultural events we set up for all of us to get to know each other more. With founders from Rio, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, and other parts of the world 🌍, I cannot underscore more the learning 📚 and connections created within each cohort, from founder to founder. In a world where many things happen online 🌐—through emails, video calls, Instagram stories, LinkedIn posts, WhatsApp messages, and likes and reactions—it's great to have these spaces of face-to-face connection 👥. Across our 14 cohorts in the region so far, we've seen co-founders join forces, partnerships set up, couchsurfing possibilities 🛋️, some angel investments 💸, and many memories built. A friend asked me on Instagram ironically: "aren't you supposed to be working already?". Well, the Draper University pledge goes "I will pursue fairness, openness, health and fun with all that I encounter. Mostly fun." We try to stay true to this! At the moment, we're reviewing applications for a program in Argentina 🇦🇷 focused on agrifoodtech, climatech, and biotech, joining forces with Embarca 🌱. If you're an early-stage founder working in that vertical, apply using the link in the 1st comment. It will be the beginning of a beautiful journey 🚀.
