What we’re doing
We’re connecting directly with founders, investors, professors, and industry leaders across Brazil’s innovation ecosystem. Our goal is to turn that research into a bridge: connecting Brazilian companies to U.S. capital and partners, and giving U.S. investors and companies clear visibility into Florianópolis, Brazil’s federally recognized Startup Capital.
Our research
Grounded research for a working bridge.
