It is a very complete program... it allows different industries to benefit from the experience because it’s not 100% focused on just one niche. It connects you with different actors: institutions, entrepreneurs, investors, and potential clients. The program is a great instance to reconnect and learn how to better enter the U.S. market, ensuring the team is up-to-date and ready for the challenge.

We managed to close a deal with a major financial provider in the U.S. . They’ve opened the doors for us to start operating as brokers across the entire United States. Although we couldn't meet during the physical tour due to scheduling, the contact was generated there, we followed up digitally, and the meeting was highly effective.

 

We now have a list of about 10 potential providers waiting for us.
