Silicon Valley-based SVG Ventures | THRIVE has launched the THRIVE LATAM Challenge to recognize and promote key early- and late-stage startups in the agrifood sector. The LATAM Challenge follows regional challenges previously held in Australia, Canada, Africa, and Europe that all aligned with achieving the U.N. SDGs.

One winning startup will receive the THRIVE LATAM Challenge Award, brand exposure, participation in a Silicon Valley Startup Bootcamp, access to the THRIVE ecosystem, and a spot at pitch finals for the Extreme Tech Challenge (XTC) and the award-winning THRIVE VIII Accelerator Program (March-June 2022) which includes investment and pitching at THRIVE | Forbes Demo Day in Salinas, California, USA.
