Check out this episode of Travel Tech Insider, hosted by our friends Cara Whitehill and Gilad Berenstein and featuring Gaurav Tuli alongside Suzanna Chiu and Katelyn Foley. In it, the team breaks down the many paths available to travel tech entrepreneurs and operators within the current market: - What, if anything, has changed for the ecosystem in the past year? - Are we bullish or bearish on where the innovation market is heading for travel, hospitality and mobility? - If you’re a startup in this space, how should you be thinking about fundraising now? - And if you’re heading up innovation within a corporate enterprise, how can you best capitalize on the new ideas coming to market so you don’t get left behind?

I help Latin startup founders build momentum in both LatAm and the US | CEO @ Pygma | Angel investor
Happy Tuesday, Pygmalions! This week, we're exploring the evolving role of Demo Days in LatAm's startup ecosystem, from Wayra’s in-person events to Rockstarts' remote spectacles and the disruptive Stonks platform. 👾 Demo Days Transformation: COVID-19 pushed Demo Days online, democratizing access but also introducing new challenges. 💡 Key Insights: Global Reach: Online platforms opened doors for founders to pitch to a worldwide audience. Stonks Revolution: Created urgency among investors, but can it compromise due diligence? Investor Selectivity: Economic downturns mean investors are pickier. Are Demo Days still valuable? Quality vs. Quantity: Vanity metrics often overshadow the true measure of success—closed checks. Sensitive Information: Publicly sharing your fundraising efforts can have drawbacks. How to handle it strategically? 🚀 Pygma’s Experience: Our journey with Demo Days has been a rollercoaster, from launching on Stonks to creating our own platform. We’ve learned valuable lessons about quality connections and the importance of continuous innovation. 🧐 Industry Perspectives: Claudio Barahona Jacobs: Advocates for returning Demo Days to their core purpose—facilitating meaningful connections. 🧐 Investor Insights: Leandro Pisaroni Gerbaldo Pisaroni: Believes Demo Days should serve as showcases but prefers summaries and 1-on-1 speed dating meetings. Miguel Medina (Mike): Suggests fewer, higher-quality Demo Days to avoid oversaturation. Curious to learn more? Dive into our newsletter for an in-depth look at the future of Demo Days and our insights from the frontlines. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/edynrbPK #Fintech #DemoDays #LatAm #Pygma #Entrepreneurship #Startups #VentureCapital

Head of the Plasma Innovation Hub (iHUB) at Takeda | Disruptive Innovative & Strategic Leader & Advocate | Driving Global Impact in Pharmaceutical Industry
I was able to attend a very informative webcast by Jacob Dutton and Carlo Mahfouz today. To understand the immense value of Corporate Venture as a core capability for a company to drive new innovation and create long term success for that entity is important. But more important, is to understand the mistakes these groups are making that lead to their demise. Market fit vs internal fit is sometimes a large disconnect. Make sure you spend time to ensure the internal fit of the venture is there…don’t just get enamored with what the market is promising. Determine your north star first, then innovate! #venturestudio #innovation #corporateventures https://lnkd.in/e6pGUqat

Whether you’re a founder or an VC, investing in your brand and developing a strategic marketing funnel can lead to unprecedented growth and opportunities. We helped and well-established venture capital firm Globalive quickly attract hundreds of founders seeking mentorship and funding. After refreshing the visual identity and branding, we leveraged thought leadership, pitch competitions, live discussions, strategic events and social media as a powerful tool for deal flow and community building. Brand Strategist Daniel Francavilla shares more. Part of the branding was to clearly position the firm as offering “Founder-focused funding” — partnering with innovative companies committed to developing technology to improve and change industries. With over 125 companies in their portfolio, Globalive takes a founder-centric approach and invests in series pre-seed through series A rounds in businesses across industries such as HRtech, Realtech, Fintech, Healthtech, Biotech and drone technologies. #founderledmarketing #communitymarketing #venturecapital

You know open innovation is critical, but resources are limited and there are so many options! Should you be running an accelerator? Setting up a Corporate Venture Capital Arm? Running proof of concept projects? Partnering with peers or universities? What's a venture studio anyway? Diana Joseph comes to the rescue at #Innov8rs SoCal, running a highly interactive workshop for you and fellow innovators to test your firm's requirements against the opportunities offered by each type of partnership engine. You'll walk away knowing which engine (or engines!) your firm should pursue, and new instincts for what kinds of partnership make sense. Ready to bet safely on open innovation? See you at the conference next month! #openinnovation #innovationmanagement
