Caracas is back in the spotlight. The sixth edition of the Startup Venezuela Summit kicks off this week with a lineup that seemed unlikely just three years ago: 25 investment funds, nearly 40 international guests, and Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, as the headline act. Behind the event is a thesis we at PitbullChain have been following closely: foreign capital has begun to see Venezuela not as a risk to avoid, but as a market with costly problems to solve and few competitors lining up to tackle them.
