Here's all about our program for pre-founders born in Latin America, figuring out their big move for the next decade.

If you're one of those people who just know they’re meant to build something huge, but haven’t quite nailed down the “what”...
At Latitud, we back people like you.
And we call them pre-founders.
You’re not putting “aspiring founder” in your bio and leaving it at that. You’re already in. You’re wired to build, sell, and make something that’s real, big, and unique.
But you’re still trying to figure stuff out. You haven’t landed on the right idea yet, or maybe you haven’t found the time or environment to take the leap.
That’s where we come in.
We’re selecting 8 exceptional pre-founders born in LatAm for the next cohort of the Latitud SF Fellowship: our program for the ones figuring out their big move for the next decade.
If you’re already familiar with our fellowship, and only wanna know what’s new:
We’re putting our money where our mouth is.
More specifically, a $62.5k check for 2.5% ownership.
We’re not here to play it safe. We’ve more than doubled the investment per founder compared to our last cohort.
That’s how bullish we are on the people we’re bringing in, and what our program can offer them. We’re here to help launch generational companies from the ground up.
Now, if you wanna know it all:
Over two months, we’ll take you from minus one (yeah less than zero) to something that's actually real.
This is where the magic starts.
You’ll leave with a clear, developed thesis (for now).
Meet Latitud and your peers, align expectations and commitments, and go through workshops, sprints, 1:1s, and chats with potential users.
All to explore (and pressure-test) your ideas.
You’ll leave with an MVP, including first users and iteration cycles cleared.
Time to prototype, ship fast, and get early validation. You’ll go through hackathons and feedback from both peers, mentors, and actual customers. You’ll also probably iterate after every weekly demo and dinner.
All to push something real into the world.
We wrap up that second month by flying the entire cohort into a house in SF for an intense, unforgettable week. Meet and actually chat with top investors, founders, and operators connecting the dots between LatAm and SF.
You’ll leave with plenty of collisions at escape velocity, ones that lead to lifelong allies. You’ll be ready and excited to take the startup world by storm.
You already know the basics: we’re seeking pre-founders (in the blank document stage, excited about the questions, wanting to start something).
Inside pre-founders, two profiles stand out to us:
But no matter the profiles, some characteristics are non-negotiables:
Some extra tea: we’re especially focused on people building with AI at the core, targeting the biggest markets in the Americas: Brazil, Mexico, and the US.
The process is fast, lightweight, and personal.
Here’s how it works:
And that’s it. Just signal. No noise, no gatekeeping, no long draggy process.
You’ll hear from us by August 6th either way — so you’re not left hanging.
You’re probably one of us.
We’re only selecting 8 founders.
And they have only until August 1st to apply.
That’s in less than two weeks.
So if you want the capital, the structure, the network — the space — to finally build what’s been living in your head… apply now.
We can’t wait to meet you.
Vamos LatAm,
The Latitud Team
