In the launch of the second season of SoftBank Group Operator School (SBOS), Laura Gaviria-Halaby, head of ecosystem development and crypto value creation for SoftBank Group International, said the course focuses on all stages of fundraising for startups.
“This is the right place to be if you are just starting with your company. If you’re in a growth stage, if you want to be a VC, you’re going to learn from the amazing founders and experts of SoftBank who will be teaching throughout the semester,” said Gaviria.
In turn, Baer, considered as one of the pioneers of the VC industry in Brazil, defines the stages of startups and their main features as early-stage companies.
“A startup is a company that evolves over time, and evolves at a very accelerated pace,” says Baer.
According to Baer, a startup is a “completely different animal” from traditional companies.
