Empowering Web3 Innovation in Latin America

At CeLatam, where we are dedicated to driving the adoption and integration of Web3 technologies across Latin America. We believe in the transformative power of blockchain and decentralized technologies to create a more equitable and prosperous future for all. Our mission is to foster innovation, collaboration, and education within the Latin American blockchain ecosystem, empowering communities to leverage the potential of Web3 for social and economic development.

What we did:

Joker Ace Governance Experiment
In August 2023, we offered two grants of $500 each to support two side events during ETH Argentina in Buenos Aires.

Blockchain Summit Latam
CeLatam sponsored the seventh Blockchain Summit Latam in Colombia (October 46, 2023), aiming to connect with Latin America's Spanish speaking community. This key event for business, networking, and Web3 in the region attracted over 1,500 attendees and reached over a million people across Latin America via social media.

ReFi DAO’s Local Node Beta Round GG18
We joined forces with ReFi DAO, Celo, and Celo Europe DAO to support ReFi local nodes through match funding on Gitcoin GG18 round. The round successfully garnered more than 1,550 contributions, accumulating over $6,700 in additional donations, empowering 18 nodes around the world.

Hackathon Web3 Colombia, with ETH Colombia
CeLatam sponsored the Hackathon Web3 Colombia 2023, organized by Ethereum Colombia from December 23, 2023. During the event, we offered talks and workshops on Celo and CeLatam, attracting over 80 participants from various Latin American countries.

CeloIncuba:

CeloIncuba is an incubation program dedicated to advancing startups within the Web3 ecosystem in Latin America. Over three batches, the program has provided specialized mentoring, workshops, and access to a robust network of professionals and strategic partners.

The program has received a total of 129 applications from 10 countries, with notable successes such as Cash Abroad, which was accepted into the Stellar and Techstars Acceleration Program.

Our Theory of Change

The Problem:
Opportunities for Latin American entrepreneurs are limited by factors such as scarce capital, centralization of power, platforms, and data.

The Solution:
We aim to overcome these limitations by leveraging decentralized technologies and fostering an inclusive ecosystem that provides equal opportunities for innovation and growth.

The Goal:
Our goal is to empower Latin American entrepreneurs by providing them with the resources, knowledge, and support needed to succeed in the Web3 space.

The Strategy:
Our strategy involves sponsoring events, providing grants, and fostering collaboration and education within the community to create a thriving and sustainable Web3 ecosystem in Latin America.

We also recently had two open calls to fund:

Open Call to Fund Side Events:
We provide funding for side events in major Web3 events in Latin America to foster collaboration and innovation.

Open Call to Fund Research:
We fund research on critical topics such as Regenerative Finance (ReFi), Real World Assets, and Stablecoins to drive knowledge and innovation in these critical areas.

As we move forward in our mission of fomenting web3 adoption through the lens of abundance and regeneration in Latin America.

All the funds raised here will be directed at funding events exclusively in countries and regions (in Latin America) that have never hosted Web3 events before.

Your donations will directly foster innovation and collaboration in these underserved areas, driving meaningful progress and creating new opportunities for local communities.

Consider supporting us by donating in this round.

Thank you!
