Meet the Startups Chosen for the VC4A Venture Showcase LatAm 2023-2024
In an exciting event, VC4A is proud to present the 10 startups selected for the VC4A Venture Showcase LatAm – Women Founder Edition, a significant milestone in Latin America's entrepreneurial ecosystem. This program, the first of its kind in the region, is specifically designed to support innovative startups led by women.
Empowering Women Entrepreneurs: Focus on Latin America
Latin America has witnessed exponential growth in entrepreneurship, yet women founders have faced significant challenges in accessing capital and resources.
