Draper Founder Journey 🎉 Huge congratulations to Francisco Pontoriero, founder of INFOCONTROL, on this amazing milestone! Francisco was part of the Draper Founders Program in Viña del Mar, Chile, back in November 2023 — where he also won the full scholarship to attend Draper University in Silicon Valley, and today we celebrate the next chapter of his entrepreneurial journey: InfoControl has been acquired by Achilles Information Limited a UK-based multinational specializing in supply chain risk management, with a presence in 142 countries. Founded in San Juan, Argentina, in 2013 by Francisco and Sebastián Lobo, InfoControl began by offering digital services to small businesses. In 2016, they developed a platform that allows companies to certify the legal status of contracted workers—especially valuable in industries like mining—making compliance and accreditation more efficient. With the integration of AI technologies, InfoControl grew to operate in 10 countries across Latin America. This acquisition not only marks an inspiring exit for the region, but also enhances Achilles’ platform with cutting-edge AI capabilities, empowering smarter, more automated risk management. Some key innovations from this partnership include: Real-time data validation AI-powered data extraction in multiple languages Smarter, faster supplier onboarding At Draper House Americas, we’re proud to support and celebrate the success of Latin American founders making a global impact. 🌎💥 Ignacio Campo ignacio marchionna faré Mariano B.

We pushed the limits of our terrace space by hosting over 160+ #entrepreneurs last Saturday! 🧠🔥🌆 The #Bengaluru Startup #Meetup on Fundraising for #Startups, co-hosted with eChai Ventures, turned out to be one of our most high-energy events yet at Draper Startup House, Bangalore. 🚀🎤✨ We had the privilege of hosting two incredible speakers: - Harnidh K., Head of Fund, WTFund – She broke down their complete vetting process, what they truly look for in founders and why WTFund has become such a magnet for young entrepreneurs 💼💡. It was mind-blowing 🤯 to learn that they receive 2500+ applications per #cohort and every single one is read and vetted personally by the team – with zero AI or automation 🤓📄. She also spent over an hour before and after the event chatting with founders 1:1 – total legend 🧃🫶. - Neha Lakhwara, CEO, Agility Ventures – Neha didn’t just talk about Agility's investment thesis 💰 and the sectors they’re bullish on 📊🛠️ — she also shared why she will always bet on a founder who shows clarity & grit. 🧠💪. She opened up about her favourite deal and what made it stand out 💎🚀, plus gave a masterclass on the do’s and don’ts of a pitch deck – founders took notes like crazy 📝📉📈. Huge shoutout to the 160+ attendees who brought the vibe, fired sharp questions 🔥🧨 (some controversial ones too 👀) and stayed till the very end 💬🌙. We pulled this off thanks to the #kindest speakers who gave us their time and wisdom, expecting nothing in return 🕊️💙. Can’t wait to host Harnidh and Neha again at Draper Startup House soon 🏠🔁 #DraperStartupHouse #Bangalore #Fundraising #eChai #Events #VCInsights #Community #Entrepreneurs #PitchDeck #Startup #VC #investment #WTFund #nikhilkamath Karan Bahadur Vikram Bharati Draper Startup House India Mansi Baheti Tanya Mary Sai Chaitanya Kokku Vignesh S Tanvee Kuncha Deepika Palreddy Partha Sarathi Barik PREM KRISHNA KATTAMANCHI Suhani Jain Avantika Jhunjhunwala Jatin Chaudhary

We were among the first to believe in Bitcoin at Draper Associates and we’ve continued betting on the next generation of groundbreaking ideas since. Yes, we’re still big on crypto but we’re industry-agnostic by design. If it’s unconventional and world-shifting — we’re in. What we’re looking for are ideas that may feel impossible today but will be inevitable in 10 years, such as: → Phantom Neuro created an implantable neural interface that allows people to control prosthetic limbs and other assistive tech more naturally — it got FDA approval last month. → Colossal Biosciences is resurrecting extinct species starting with the woolly mammoth and Tasmanian tiger. They made headlines this week by reviving pups genetically similar to dire wolves (yes, like in Game of Thrones). The real-world implications are massive. They can help restore biodiversity and assist with fertility and conservation. → Make Sunsets is a solar geoengineering company looking to counter global warming by using balloons to reflect light. One potential "side effect?" Prettier sunsets. We’ve also backed an artificial womb startup, a hypersonic spaceplane developer, and an AI-powered pet cancer-treatment solution. The companies we back are building technologies that sound futuristic, until they suddenly become foundational. They're grounded in real science and engineering, with transformative applications likely to arrive faster than most people expect. Crypto was once considered niche. Today, it's a trillion dollar ecosystem. The same goes for AI, self-driving cars, and numerous technologies that are now becoming commonplace. Today it’s Waymo, tomorrow it’s woolly mammoths.
