​About the Event

​Join us for the Bridge LATAM Demo Day, the final showcase of an elite group of Latin American founders selected to enter the U.S. market through Bridge, a global expansion program by Venture Dock in partnership with 401.

​Bridge is designed for high-performing founders who are ready to scale beyond their home markets and build in Silicon Valley. Each company in this cohort has been carefully selected based on traction, execution, and global ambition.

​The Program

​Over the course of the program, founders go through an intensive experience focused on:

• ​U.S. market entry strategy

• ​Fundraising and investor readiness

• ​Go-to-market execution

• ​High-impact storytelling and positioning

​It’s a curated pathway into the U.S. ecosystem.

​The Selection

​Before Demo Day, founders participate in a closed-door pitch training and evaluation session with investors, mentors, and the Venture Dock team.

​From this process, only the top 5 startups are selected to present.

​Each selected company will be presenting to a group of leading investors, operators, and venture partners from the Silicon Valley ecosystem. Founders are competing for:

• ​$50K investment opportunity

• ​A spot to pitch at an exclusive event in New York Tech Week

• ​Continued support to scale in the U.S. and Venture Community Access
