Miami Venture Capital World Summit Brings U.S. and Latin American Founders and Investors Together

A founder selling a payments product in Colombia may come to Miami looking for a U.S. investor. The harder search may be for the person who knows which bank will sit down with the team once that meeting is over.

The Venture Capital World Summit takes place December 10 at Aloft Miami Airport. The program brings founders, venture investors and family offices together around financial technology and expansion between the U.S. and Latin America. Panels, startup pitches and delegate roundtables give attendees several ways to put an expansion question to people working across those markets.

Where the conversations can get specific

For a payments company, a first U.S. customer can bring questions about settlement, banking partners and compliance into the same conversation. For an investor, the useful distinction is often between a team that can open a new market and one that already knows who will be responsible for making the product work there. The summit's cross-border focus gives both sides a reason to get into those details early.

The organizer names Dr. Sarah Doyle as chair. The official calendar lists a 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern program. Founders heading to a pitch or roundtable can bring the market they intend to enter, the relationship they still need and the work they are ready to do once someone makes the introduction.
