The accelerator landscape for Latino and LatAm founders is growing fast — but it's disconnected. Colombian coffee, a cool space in Soho, and the people running the programs that are backing the next generation of founders. This mixer brings together accelerator leaders, program managers, and the founders going through their programs into one room. The goal is simple: connect the programs, share what's working, and build direct pipelines between accelerators across the US and Latin America. This event is sold out.
