Silicon Valley – Brazil Accelerator

Posted: June 18th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Brazilian Venture Capital, US Venture Capital | No Comments »

There is a new accelerator for startups that want to enter the Brazilian market.  The first part of the program would take place in Silicon Valley/San Fran, the second part in Sao Paulo.

The accelerator is for internet-based businesses from, well, anywhere: Brazil, America, doesn’t matter.   It seems like companies would receive fairly intense assistance, which I think is a good idea, given the challenges of doing business in Brazil.

Even if you are not accepted into the accelerator program, there may be co-working space available in the Valley/San Fran and perhaps in Sao Paulo.  This would be good for learning, networking, etc.

If you have an interest, they have a signup page here.
