Get ready for something totally fresh this year!
FounderX, the Founder Institute's exclusive VIP gathering of alumni, mentors, local leaders, investors, and partners from our global network is taking over Florianópolis, Brazil, with a twist that's all about bringing people together in a way that's never been done before.
This time, it's not just any gathering; we're turning it into a full-on island retreat, and we're doing it with our local partners - JUPTER and Founder Haus. This means we're mixing up our global crew with the best of Latin America's startup community, making it a very unique experience for all our global network to join.
The event spans three days at one of Brazil's most stunning locations, combining impactful keynotes, wellness activities, and networking opportunities amidst the natural beauty of Jurere Internacional beach in Florianópolis. The goal of FounderX is to facilitate meaningful connections and learning between members of the Founder Institute network, which span 100+ countries across 6 continents.
This Latin America Edition is our shoutout to the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit of the region, and we're making sure it's an unforgettable experience. The FounderX LatAm will unfold across multiple venues, each selected to enrich the experience with diverse settings and opportunities for engagement. However, for accommodation, event participants will be hosted at the Il Campanario Resort in Jurere Internacional beach. This strategic choice ensures that while the event leverages various locales for its activities, the essence of an immersive and cohesive experience is maintained by providing a single, luxurious base for attendees.
The conference has secured a superb lineup of speakers, including celebrated entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and industry leaders who are at the forefront of innovation and startup success across Latin America. Keynotes will be joined by Adeo Ressi, CEO of Decile Group, which runs the leading venture capital accelerator VC Lab and operates the Decile Hub platform, and Jonathan Greechan, Co-Founder and CEO of the Founder Institute.
FounderX is strictly invite only and reserved for FI and VC Lab/ Decile Group Local Leaders, Alumni, Mentors, Investors, Partners, and the Founder Haus network. lt feature talks from top global experts on startups and venture capital. Previous event speakers include Jason Calacanis, Esther Dyson, Scott Painter, Jenny Fielding, and many others.
Furthermore, FounderX provides a unique opportunity for organizations looking to engage key players in the global startup ecosystem, in a private and informal environment. Since the event is designed to create community and opportunity, not profit, this is also reflected in our partner packages.
