So I guess you'll need to turn to the private side :) What about the "Anjos do Brasil" thing? Looks promising. There's a Startup Weekend in Florianopolis http://florianopolis.startupweekend.org/ http://florianopolis.startupweekend.org/ And, if traveling isn't your thing, there's DEMO Brasil in São Paulo to network and pitch, too. Looking at last years' São Paulo Startup Weekend, you could try contacting some of the judges - it had a "mentoring" portion :) http://saopaulo.startupweekend.org/ http://saopaulo.startupweekend.org/ Edit: searching a bit further: http://www.abstartups.com.br/ http://www.abstartups.com.br/ Associação Brasileira de Startups. http://www.endeavor.org.br/ http://www.endeavor.org.br/ The Brazilian chapter of Endeavor, they offer mentorship there (sometimes in exchange of equity) And a lot of events in your area !!! http://startups.ig.com.br/eventos/ http://startups.ig.com.br/eventos/ http://www.campus-party.com.br/2013/index.html http://www.campus-party.com.br/2013/index.html and even a Lean Startups event in the next few months: http://startups.ig.com.br/2012/nova-edicao-em-sao-paulo-do-evento-de-validacao-de-premisas-de-negocio-lean-startup-machine/ http://startups.ig.com.br/2012/nova-edicao-em-sao-paulo-do-e... and a Startup lab http://laboratoriodestartups.wordpress.com/ http://laboratoriodestartups.wordpress.com/
