We believe in Impact Venturing as a means for the resolution of systemic errors through impact business models, where enterprises challenge inequities, promote disruptive, inclusive and sustainable solutions for genuine change. And, we believe in Venture Capital as an alternative financing path to traditional banking, where startups can leverage their business models and bring their solutions to the world.

But in each version we improve it and surprise the assistant with value spaces on the agenda. In fact, for the previous one and this version we are looking to make it easier for startups to connect with national and international VC funds by putting them all in one place for 2 days. In addition to setting the stage for the speakers who dominate the issues that are trending and that every entrepreneur should know as: Impact Venturing, Venture Capital and Corporate Venturing.
