Startup Summit 2026 runs Aug 26-28 in Florianopolis with 250 funds
Why this matters for founders
Founders should show up for the curated business rounds to pitch directly to the 250 funds on site, since the prior edition generated over 1,100 structured startup-investor meetings. Even without a booth, the free content tracks and mentorship stages are a low-cost way to build a Brazilian investor pipeline.
