Investors Insights Bootcamp
Silicon Valley is recognized as one of the most influential global ecosystems, and it is famous for its diverse culture coupled with a robust venture capital and startup industry. Big companies today, such as Apple, Google, Cisco, and Intel all started with venture capitalist investments. Currently, over 40% of venture capital in the United States is under the management of Silicon Valley companies.
Based on this knowledge and experience, we have developed Investors Insights Bootcamp focused on current and potential future investors. The workshop content is based on some of the Silicon Valley best practices to select and monitor startup investment portfolio. The program will also unveil a new startup investment model, largely applied in the US, which favors the possibility of better return and lower risk, which is starting to be adopted in Brazil.

The Investors Insights Bootcamp program leverages its facilitator’s expertise and advisory experience from hundreds of companies around the world, preparing them for growth through investment and internationalization. The program will present participants with the Silicon Valley investor mindset and a differentiated model for assessing startup investment opportunities using an approach that is widely applied today. The curriculum also presents critical concepts used for the execution processes, metrics, and performance monitoring of invested startups, along with the key factors of a qualified elevator pitch, and ultimately how results-oriented mentoring should be.
The Investors Insights Bootcamp has a synthetic format, meaning it mainly covers the most important issues an investor should consider when investing in startups and it is focused on presenting a practical and objective approach to monitoring and investing in startups.
