👉 Send questions for the next video: https://x.gd/egTWv Insights: Brazilian companies do have a reason to exist in an AI-driven market and not just to solve local problems. Silicon Valley builds products assuming there's a developer on the other end. That assumption holds true there, but not for 95% of the world. A steel mill in rural Brazil or the American Midwest doesn't have a dev on the team, and that creates a massive opportunity for those who know how to build for that context. 14B believes that Brazil's specificity will generate exportable products: front-end AI security (monitoring individual behavior, not just APIs), social engineering fraud prevention (the Brazilian pattern, distinct from Eastern Europe's hacking-focused fraud), and solutions for the WhatsApp economy — where Brazil already holds 7 to 8 years of advantage over the American market. Different contexts build different companies. And some of those companies will be global. 📌 In this video: • Why the Brazilian context creates opportunities Silicon Valley overlooks • The "assumed developer" problem and how it opens space for more accessible products • Front-end AI security: why the risk lies with the employee, not the API • Social engineering fraud as an exportable thesis from Brazil to the world • Brazil's competitive edge in the WhatsApp economy• Which opportunities are local (tax, legal, logistics) and which can scale globally • Why LATAM can lead AI solutions for markets without developers Follow us on YouTube: / @pergunteaovc Follow us on Instagram: @pergunteaovc . . #venturecapital #latamstartups #artificialintelligence #founders #entrepreneurship #emergingmarkets #Brazil #LatinAmerica #AIstartups
