Newtopia Community Week

10th Edition | May 11-14 2026, San Francisco

In the first half of 2026, #NewtopiaCommunityWeek reached a new milestone: for the first time, we took our Community to San Francisco.

Together with founders from our most recent investments, we built a dense and intentional agenda around three pillars: inspiration from Latinos building global companies out of SF, meaningful connections with some of the world’s leading venture funds, and a focused conversation on AI hosted at Stanford GSB with researchers and practitioners at the forefront of the field.

Strategic questions defined this edition: on geography, growth-stage fundraising, distribution, branding, and what it takes to build genuinely defensible businesses in an AI-driven world. We walked away with four sharp convictions and a renewed sense of the depth and ambition that defines the Newtopia Community.

Day 1 — May 11

Community Week kicked off at Newtopia Haus with three distinct investor lenses: Allen Taylor (Endeavor Catalyst), Harry Elliott (General Catalyst) and Jacob Mullins (Village Global).

The afternoon took the group to Vercel for a conversation with Guillermo Rauch, followed by a closing session at the Haus with Luis Echeverria (Goodwater Capital).

Early-stage, growth and long-term capital compressed into one day. The kind of access that compounds over time.

Day 2 — May 12

The group visited Tools for Humanity, where Ajay Patel and Rich Heley shared how identity and trust are being rebuilt for the AI era.

Back at the Haus, Santiago Rodriguez Lebrija (Andreessen Horowitz) and Alexa Grabelle (NEA) offered investor perspectives on signals, positioning and long-term strategy.

The day closed at Slash with Victor Cardenas Codriansky, who shared the real story behind scaling to a $100M Series C.

Operators. Investors. Builders who have navigated multiple cycles.

Our Community Week is a strategic tool. Over a few days, the Newtopia Community gain direct exposure to operators, investors and academics who have built, scaled and navigated multiple cycles.

That compression of experience shortens learning curves. It sharpens judgment. It raises standards.

In a region where ambition is abundant and structural gaps remain large, proximity to global benchmarks is leverage. That is why we keep building this Community.
