Mentorship

Over the past 12 years BayBrazil has been playing a leading role in building the Brazilian-American tech hub in Silicon Valley.

Through exclusive workshops, events and mentorship sessions we’ve been facilitating opportunities for new partnerships, fundraising and meaningful dialogues to help startups find their path to flourish.

The latest is our Social Impact Program:

Batch 2021 supported startups promoting education and diversity

Batch 2022 is supporting startups focused on upskilling/reskilling

BayBrazil has also been mapping the Brazilian diaspora in Silicon Valley and encouraging these professionals to get to know one another as well as meet entrepreneurs looking for guidance and connections to expand their companies. These efforts resulted in mentorship programs aimed at fostering entrepreneurial tech communities.

BayBrazil has been organizing both face-to-face mentoring sessions as well as virtual mentoring sessions by gathering mentors in Silicon Valley & startups founders and their teams in different regions of Brazil.

In 2016 BayBrazil partnered with Google Launchpad to support startups selected by Google
team in São Paulo.

In the first workshop, September of 2016, we gathered startup teams with BayBrazil mentors at
Googleplex, in Mountain View, and at Silicon Valley Bank, in Santa Clara.

The second workshop was last Sep14-15, 2017, at Google space in San Francisco.

The goal of our mentorship programs is to provide startups with equity-free access to advice, connections and resources in Silicon Valley and Brazil. For that we match founders with mentors who will help entrepreneurs to thrive and achieve their goals.

Our mentors are professionals with both entrepreneurial and corporate experience who work
and live in the San Francisco Bay Area region.

Mentorship areas of expertise include fundraising, global expansion, strategic planning, operations, legal, UX, go-to-market and more.
