Welcome to the twelfth edition of Tech Talents!
In this newsletter, I share real-time key talent movements in the LatAm tech ecosystem, including founders entering and exiting stealth mode, executive-level movements in unicorns, and partner-level changes in local VC firms.
Before we dive in, I want to highlight that this edition features two founders actively searching for a Co-Founder to join them on their entrepreneurial journeys! If you or anyone you know might be interested, I encourage you to click the intro link below their names to connect with them.
This is the first time I am sharing this type of opportunity in this newsletter, and I believe it could be an important step towards achieving the mission of facilitating relevant connections in the LatAm tech ecosystem.
