This week on the Everyone Funding Startups podcast we spoke to Nora Palladino, Business Development Manager of Nextperience Labs (NXTP Labs), a Buenos Aires-based accelerator seed fund.
NXTP Labs seeks to invest and provide hands-on support and community to entrepreneurs with passion for starting up and growing their companies. They provide seed funding, mentoring, community and office space to entrepreneurs with great ideas and execution capabilities.
They also invest up to US$ 25,000 as a seed investment in companies (US$ 10,000 per startup, plus US$ 5,000 per founder, up to three founders), in return for small stakes (usually between 5 to 10%).
Nextperience Labs will be running a Demo Day in Silicon Valley to showcase the best Latin American startups alongside the Brazilian startup accelerator, 21212 on 6th September 2012.
We asked Nora about the emerging technology entrepreneurship hubs in Latin America and how startups from that region are perceived by outside investors. We also found out about the strong execution of startups like WeHostels – see their press release about joining the NXTP Labs programme.
