Austin, TX: MediaTech Ventures and ProColombia partner to foster Colombian startups looking to learn about, get connected to, and expand into the U.S. market. The 12-week program launched in November 2020 with twenty Colombian startups as the first cohort.
“We’ve done quite a bit with ProColombia over the years to support innovation and entrepreneurship in central Texas and beyond. We’ve always appreciated their mission to help the Colombian startup community connect with the world. Combining our curriculum with their mission was an ideal next step in growing our partnership while providing more value to the communities in which we serve.”
John Zozzaro, President, MediaTech Ventures
Through their partnership, MediaTech Ventures and ProColombia are bridging the gap between the Colombian and American startup ecosystems, with the first MediaTech industry-focused incubator for Colombian startups. The Colombian graduates of the incubator will present virtually on April 8th.
Participants of the program gain access to MediaTech’s community platform, industry experts as mentors & teachers, and the ability to maximize opportunities in the U.S. and Global markets by developing a key understanding and implementation of:
- Competitive solution positioning.
- Venture capital and Corporate venture firm relationships.
- U.S. Business standard communication, presentation, and distribution tactics.
- Regional-based export cost structure into the U.S.
- Incorporation evaluation based on regional legal and tax variations.
- Value-base Product Analysis.
“With a government committed to digital transformation as the driving force behind Colombia’s transformation by 2022, the country is currently one of the main technology-based services providers in the region, and partnerships with MediaTech Ventures will boost even more business opportunities between Colombia IT solution providers and US investors and partners.”
