About the Summit

Two ecosystems.
One builder network.

L8P Summit is a small, invite-only gathering for Brazilian founders and engineers building in or connected to Silicon Valley. No panels, no keynotes — just focused technical sessions in Palo Alto followed by a closing mixer in San Francisco.

We keep the group intimate so every conversation matters. If you're shipping code, raising rounds, or scaling infrastructure across borders, this is your room.

BR + US

Cross-border network of founders, engineers, and builders.

2 Days

Six curated technical sessions and a closing mixer.

April 9–10

2026 — Hosted at Circuit Launch, Mountain View.

Format

Technical Sessions — Palo Alto

Six focused sessions in a small-group setting. Builders share real work — architecture decisions, scaling challenges, and lessons from the trenches. No slides, no pitches.

Closing Mixer — San Francisco

An evening gathering to continue the conversations in a relaxed setting. Meet the extended network of Brazilian founders and engineers across the Bay Area.

Who Attends

We curate for builders — people actively shipping products, writing code, and scaling companies across both ecosystems.

  • Founders building venture-backed startups in the US or Brazil
  • Senior engineers at top-tier tech companies in Silicon Valley
  • Technical leaders scaling infrastructure across borders
  • Open-source contributors and developer advocates
  • Investors and operators with deep ties to both ecosystems

Why L8P Exists

Brazil has one of the largest and most dynamic developer communities in the world, yet Brazilian builders in Silicon Valley remain scattered across companies and networks with few spaces designed specifically for them.

L8P Summit exists to change that — creating a recurring, high-signal gathering where Brazilian technologists in the Valley can share knowledge, form partnerships, and strengthen the bridge between both ecosystems.

Speaker Profile

Built by
practitioners.

Our speakers are not professional keynote-givers. They are engineers, founders, and technical leaders who are actively building — sharing real lessons from real work. Expect raw, unfiltered takes on architecture, scaling, hiring, and the challenges of operating across two ecosystems.

Past and future speakers come from companies shaping how software is built and delivered at scale.
