We’re seeking ideation-stage founders—those in the messy, creative phase where big ideas take shape on napkins. It's about figuring things out.

For both profiles, we're looking for:

True Builders — you’ve actually shipped something.

Ambitious Founders — the kind who don’t just dip their toes into the startup pool, they cannonball in.

Resilient as Hell—who get knocked down and think, “That was fun, let’s go again.”

Problem Obsessed — if you’re waking up in the middle of the night thinking, “Why hasn’t anyone solved this yet?”

People with spicy, unfair insights. Those who see glitches in the matrix.

Funding

Funding

We’re putting our money where our mouth is: each founder will receive a $25K Ideation Check (on a SAFE note, 1% equity) + a week-long trip to San Francisco to close out the program on a high note.


Fellows can pitch Latitud for follow-on funding once they’ve developed a strong thesis and founding team. We encourage you to pitch us for a pre-seed check when you are ready — that can happen right after the program, or even a year later.


We focus on building long term relationships.

8 Week Program

8 Week Program

You’ll be one of just 10 soon-to-be founders selected for this cohort. (Yes, we’re keeping the bar ridiculously high.)


This program is designed to get you from idea chaos to a VC-backable thesis by the end of it. That means talking to customers, bouncing ideas, and building MVPs.


We’re not new to this game. After running 13 iterations of our programs, we’ve fine-tuned what works—focusing on real founder struggles and resources that actually move the needle.

Iconic Chats

Iconic Chats

Intimate discussions with prominent tech figures such founders, domain experts, and investors. Past guests include Stelleo Tolda (MELI), Lucas Vargas (Nomad), Fabrice Grinda (FJ labs), Thiago Pessoa (Wellhub/Gympass), Gokul Rajaram (Doordash & Square)

Fundraising support

Fundraising support

We’ve helped dozens of companies raise capital across pre-seed, seed, Series A, and even Series B—so yeah, we’ve seen a thing or two.


In the second half of the program, we’ll shift gears to focus on getting you the funding firepower you need to keep building.

That means: • Crafting a killer pitch deckWarm intros to top angels and VCs who actually get early-stage bets. • Mastering relationship-building—because fundraising isn’t just pitching; it’s playing the long game.

A packed week in

San Francisco

A packed week in San Francisco

We believe tapping into the Silicon Valley network is a game-changer—whether it’s unlocking next-level funding or getting the attention of world-class angels and top-tier funds. That’s why we’re taking the entire cohort to San Francisco for a week. Think of it as a mini roadshow, packed with curated meetings, investor connections, and strategic conversations to help you level up your network and fundraising game. What’s covered? Everything except your flight (airpods max also not covered). We’ll handle the rest.
