Agustín Alejandro Batto Carol: Empowering Communities through Learning
Agus: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. In an era where technological innovation is skyrocketing, the demand for advanced cognitive and digital skills has never been higher. Yet, traditional education systems worldwide are falling short of equipping people with these essential skills. On the flip side, we're witnessing humanity increasingly disconnected from itself, from Mother Earth, and from its untapped potential. Eidos Global aims to bridge these gaps. We're committed to empowering underserved communities globally with the digital, cognitive, and socio-emotional skills they need, all through transformative learning experiences. Our challenge is re-skilling humanity for a harmonious and prosperous future.

Ana María Aristizábal: Deploying Capital to Create Access to Education and Jobs
Ana: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! Winnipeg Ventures is launching the first educational technology (edtech) and future of work fund in Latin America. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for millions of children and adults by investing in technological innovations that will transform the way we learn, teach, and work. Can you imagine that eight out of every ten children under the age of ten in Latin America do not understand what they read? Did you know that half of the students who start college do not finish it? Or that only 30% of teachers in secondary schools meet standards for teaching? It’s not surprising that 60% of companies struggle to find the right talent. We aim to change the fate of Latin America by investing in amazing founders who are building child and human-centered technologies.
