Pleased to announce that Forte Global has just launched in Peru - our sixth market. And we're also scaling up in current markets, including Colombia. As always, our goal is to be the backbone... the platform... the operating system... that enables world-class talent development. We make it super easy for any funder of education/training (whether governments, foundations, multinationals, or companies) to contract based on, track, verify and pay for outcomes - without the usual headaches and complexity. In Peru, we're working in partnership with Es Hoy to launch "ElevaTech" - a program to provide AI-focused digital training to disadvantaged Peruvians who would not otherwise have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. The focus of the AI training is on Cybersecurity, Data Science, and Data Engineering. AI will lead to massive job displacement over the next decade, but also create massive opportunities for those with the rights skills to take advantage of it. We're proud to help Peruvians thrive in this new AI era. Alejandro Jimenez T. Carolina Echeverri Hernández Ana Maria Roldan Arango Laura Torre Sergio Claux Mora

The future belongs to those who dare to build deep tech. And in Latin America, more of them are rising every day. According to the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, our region’s deep tech ecosystem is now valued more at $8B, with over 340 active startups as of 2023. In recent years, VC investment in the sector has grown 44x. But at Draper Cygnus, this growth is a confirmation of our thesis. We’ve spent the last decade backing founders who chose the harder path. People building from science, not hype. From conviction, not consensus. Startups like Skyloom Global, Stämm, Splight, Lemon, and Novo Space. All driven by teams that are turning deep science into real-world solutions for energy, health, space, climate and beyond. Behind every case, there were founders who chose the non-obvious path. Who decided to build deep tech in an industry where access to capital, talent and validation wasn’t easy. And yet, they moved forward. Investing is about walking alongside those who turn science into impact. This is just the beginning. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned along the way, it’s this: conviction, when sustained over time, becomes your greatest differentiator 🚀 #DeepTech #VentureCapital #DraperCygnus

When insight meets value, transformation is inevitable. Delivering the keynote at the PMI ANTIOQUIA Conference 2025 was an unforgettable experience. Hearing seasoned project and strategy professionals say my session was the most valuable and practical of the event left me humbled—especially because the other speakers were sensational. One participant put it perfectly: “After so many seminars that feel like word salad, yours was different: action-packed, relevant, and results-focused.” Thank you to PMI Antioquia, President Carlos E Macias Torres and the entire board for such a warm welcome and for fostering conversations that push our profession forward. Pro tip to help elevate your strategic communication. 🪀. Lead with the outcome: Start every message with “What business result changes if we get this right?” 🪀. Translate insight to action: Give one 10-minute play people can run by Monday—no jargon, just steps. 🪀. Make value visible weekly: Tie every initiative to one leading indicator (decision speed, cycle time, adoption rate) and report it consistently. At Strategic Project Leader we help leaders and teams elevate performance through science-backed frameworks and actionable tools that turn insight into organizational advantage. Let us elevate your next corporate event and leadership development. 📩 [email protected] #FolaElevates #awardwinningkeynote #keynotespeaker
