Startups to Watch & Tech Talents
#51 - Tivita, Former Head of People & Legal Officer at Loft going under stealth, and other talent movements...
Happy Wednesday!
For those who are new, this series is dedicated to startups and founders from LatAm that have just entered or exited stealth mode.
It is written in partnership with Pedro Mesquita from Tech Talents and aims to use data-driven tools to foster the local tech ecosystem by helping founders connect with the right people who will help them achieve success in their endeavors.
If you didn’t know, “stealth mode” founders are those who are building a new business but, for various reasons, especially competitive ones, do not yet want to reveal details about what they are developing. This term has been used for years in the US Venture Capital ecosystem but has only recently become more common in Latin America.
Expect to receive Startups To Watch & Tech Talents every other Wednesday, separately from my traditional weekly newsletter. Please let me know your thoughts on this new format!
Unlike the past couple of weeks, we are moving away from the pure Artificial Intelligence domain to share a startup at the intersection of fintech and healthcare.
