This is a call for the best startups in all of Peru: the esteemed Seedstars World Tour is coming soon to Lima to find entrepreneurs and groups with most innovative ideas in tech and business.
Seedstars will have its regional conference take place May 31 in Lima’s UTEC campus for its startup competition.
A group of judges will select 10 startups based on their five-minute pitches to have a chance at winning up to $1 million in the final competition, the Seedstars Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland.
“Seedstarts World is a platform that connects investors with the next generation of entrepreneurs,” said Seedstars World regional manager Juliane Butty. “As this will be our fifth time organizing this event in Lima, the level of emotion and expectations are very high. We’ve spent five years in the ecosystem. We know that there are businesses in Peru developing products with a lot of quality and we are looking to take the final in Lausanne.”
