For the second consecutive, The Brazilian Report team will take part in Web Summit Rio, not only covering the event but moderating three different panels. The event’s tickets are on track to sell out this afternoon.
On April 16, our co-founder and editor-in-chief, Gustavo Ribeiro, leads the panel “What VCs don’t want you to know,” alongside Latitud co-founder Brian Requarth. As we know by now, investors’ caution to startups in the last couple of years was not due to a lack of money but to pursuing more profitable and predictable portfolios.
Gustavo returns on April 18 to moderate another panel, “Is the IPO market back in business?” at the center stage. After over two years in the doldrums, will 2024 be the year when initial offerings finally return? He will be joined by Fabiana Fagundes, founding partner at FM/Derraik, Marcello Gonçalves, managing partner at Domo.VC, and Ariel Arrieta, co-founder and managing partner at NXTP Ventures.
Many investment banks and analysts worldwide have already given the practical answer: yes. But does this year also represent a good opportunity for startups and tech-based companies to go public? That is one of the points to be explored in the talk.
From the founders’ perspective, finding the right investors is often more critical for the success of a business than the money itself. In this pursuit of a good match, Mr. Requarth, an experienced entrepreneur and investor, aims to help everyone attending by uncovering what VCs think and what they usually don’t tell founders.
Between these two events, on April 17, deputy editor Fabiane Ziolla Menezes will join Emily Chiu, co-founder and COO of TBD at Block, and Ludmila Pontremolez, co-founder and CTO of Zippi, to moderate another panel at the event’s center stage, entitled “Leading through the AI era.”
The purpose of this talk is not only to explain what these two prominent leaders are doing to make financial services more inclusive through AI-powered platforms but also to explain how they keep their teams on board with such challenging goals in such challenging times.
