Description
It's hard to think about tech startups without thinking US and Israel, just like it's impossible for corporations to ignore digital transformation. In Brazil, there's one venture capital firm that is bundling all of that together, by investing in some of the most innovative companies abroad, bringing them to Latin America, and connecting them with big local companies to accelerate their adoption of technology.Mindset Ventures was co-founded by Camila Folkmann, one of the first Brazilian female founders of a Venture Capital firm. Camila started her career as a corporate lawyer, having worked for major law firms assisting Fortune 500 clients, but made a quick transition to startup and VC life after spending some time in the Bay Area. Back in Brazil, she was looking for opportunities to stay close to the ecosystem, which led her to join Acelera Partners, an investment holding spearheaded by Microsoft.There, she met her co-founder, Daniel Ibri, and they found out they had similar visions, eventually translated into Mindset Venture's thesis. Today, Camila shares not only what that is and how they invest, but also:Her insights into the Israeli entrepreneurial cultureThe biggest challenges for companies from Israel and the US to come to Latin AmericaAnd what to be aware of when accepting corporations to your cap tableStarting something new?Visit latitud.com to learn about the Latitud Fellowship program.Set up an international corporate structure accepted by international investors with Latitud Go.
