The dream team
No more stealth, no more suspense. Meet the selección that just graduated from The Latitud Resident Fellowship:
✨ Welcome to the newsletter for LatAm founders building good sh*t.
Did someone forward this to you? You must be up to something, huh?
You prolly know that we just got back from an unforgettable week in San Francisco. It was the best season finale ever for The Latitud Resident Fellowship, our ideation program for the boldest across LatAm:
1 entire townhouse in SF
5 shared breakfasts and dinners
100 shared Ubers
Too many insights to keep track of 😎
All while visiting the kind of names you see on TechCrunch, not on your Calendly. Afore Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Brex, DST Global, Mercado Libre, NFX, OpenAI, Pear VC, Reach Capital, Ribbit Capital, Stripe, Vercel, Y Combinator… 💅
But what’s more important than logos and lattes?
The 11 pre-founders who started with no companies, no products, yes ambition — and now walk out as true startup founders building AI-native companies.
Some of our residents left with clear ideas, others with early traction, design partners, and even fully functional products.
It’s time to reveal our selección. 🥁🥁🥁
From labor to logistics, retail to real estate, they are setting themselves up to reshape entire industries with AI-powered scale.
With a dream team like that, a 7x1 is inevitable. ⚽🔥
