Last year, a rumor reached our ears: StartCo, an event where the entrepreneurial ecosystem gathered to connect, grow, and conquer. The idea captivated us: startups eager for success, an electrifying atmosphere, and a world of possibilities. We decided to embark on this adventure.
Upon entering StartCo, a vibrant energy immediately enveloped us. The atmosphere was incredible, the passion for entrepreneurship, the ambition to reach higher, and the eagerness to grow of each participant were palpable in the air. We were completely thrilled.
The spark of inspiration
The first day was a whirlwind of emotions; inspiring conferences, valuable connections, motivating success stories, and an aura of ambition and collaboration pervaded every corner. And in the intoxication of the experience, an idea came to conquer us. We discussed it with enthusiasm, imagining a thousand possible scenarios, and without wasting time, we began to shape it. By the second day, with adrenaline still running through our veins, we launched into validating it. More than 30 conversations with entrepreneurs and business owners confirmed our hunch: the idea had a 98% acceptance rate! We were ecstatic, but we kept our feet on the ground, aware that this new business model consisted of two fundamental parts to complete.
From dream to reality: validating an idea with potential
The second day, the mission was clear: to refine the idea with those who believed in it. We selected the most enthusiastic ones and delved deeper into exploration. More than 30% of them were willing to embark on this adventure, completing the first part of our new model, and thanks to the experience that StartCo provided us, faith in the second part was consolidated.
Months later, taking advantage of the Capital Summit, another oasis of opportunities and connections, we were able to validate the last piece of the puzzle, allowing us to take the leap: start the pilot, and, with positive and satisfying results, we were convinced that this new model would be the key ingredient for startups in LATAM to reach their full potential.
StartCo 2023 was the catalyst, the stage where the idea was gestated, validated, and propelled us to make it a reality.
Returning to StartCo 2024 with a mission...
At StartCo 2024, we return with a clear mission: to launch our idea to the world! Our vision has become a reality that we are eager to share and that we are confident will bring significant value to the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem. Do you want to know what it’s all about?
