Visionary entrepreneur on a mission to bridge innovation ecosystems between Europe and the Americas | Building the next big thing in global collaboration | Co-Founder at Trashmutation | Latitud Fellow (LF3)

🌍 I help European startups expand into Latin America through high-trust connections, regional knowledge, and the right local partners.

As founder of BridgeLATAM, I’ve built a neutral platform designed to support VC-backed startups and scaleups exploring LATAM — through market access, strategic intros, pilot launches, and talent via trusted delivery partners.

My 15+ years of experience leading ventures across LATAM, the U.S. and Germany give me a unique perspective: I understand both sides — Europe’s innovation mindset and LATAM’s market dynamics.

🔗 Our network includes:
	•	Founders and operators with 15+ years of experience in their industries
	•	Superconnectors and ecosystem builders in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina & Chile (and other LATAM countries)
	•	Talent & GTM partners, including Soultech, where I serve as board advisor and investor

We don’t sell services — we enable expansion.

📍 Based in Berlin, operating globally. Let’s connect if:
	•	You want to explore LATAM and don’t know where to start
	•	You’re hiring and want top LATAM talent, remote or relocatable
	•	You’re a superconnector or founder looking to collaborate

Yesterday I had the privilege of listening to Marc Bernath as the keynote speaker for the Fall 2025 Graduation of the Founder Institute, a community I’m proud to be part of.

What truly inspired me was not only what Marc has built, but how he thinks.

He speaks about connecting ecosystems and allies across worlds that usually don’t talk to each other — startups, corporates, cities, public institutions — all in service of something bigger than any single organization.
That mindset resonated deeply with me.

If we dare to dream bigger, why not scale what he helped create in Berlin?

Berlin — a city once divided by a wall — has transformed into a global epicenter of innovation, collaboration, and bold ideas. Marc’s work in transforming an airport into a living innovation ecosystem is a powerful reminder that systems can be redesigned, and cities can reinvent themselves.

And that leads me to my own dream with BridgeLATAM.

What if Berlin — and Germany more broadly — becomes not just a European innovation hub, but the bridge connecting Europe and Latin America?
What if we actively export Europe’s brilliant solutions — in mobility, energy, sustainability, and digital transformation — to a Latin American continent that urgently needs them?
And what if, in return, we unlock the talent, resilience, and creativity of LATAM for Europe?

I believe real change happens when we connect the right people, across borders, sectors, and cultures — and give builders the relationships, trust, and platforms they need to create impact.

Being an alumni of Founder Institute ( grateful for that Ferdinand Mühlhäuser 🇺🇦🌍 and all Founder Institute Berlin / Germany !) ñ, meeting Marc in person, and building from a city like Berlin — surrounded by brilliant, mission-driven people — reinforces my conviction that everything is connected, and that bridges matter more than walls.

Grateful for the inspiration, the learning, and the reminder to keep dreaming big — and then execute.

Success shouldn’t cost you your life.

If it is, it’s not success: it’s a prison you built yourself.

I work with Founders & C-levels who are f*cked: burnout, self-sabotage, and invisible enemies eating them alive on the inside while on the outside they’re risking their company, their family, and their health.

I know because I was there.

Six-time Founder & CEO, six industries, six countries, two exits. 

On the outside: the leader who looked like he had it all under control.

On the inside: Wrecked. Empty. Surviving on autopilot.

Until I collapsed. Hospital. PTSD. 

And I realized what I needed wasn’t more strategy—it was more healing.

That’s when I went back to what had always been in me: The Whispers.

Truths that show up when you’re at the edge and that you almost always ignore—because you don’t know how to listen to them.

I used them to transform myself. 

Now I use them to train others to transform themselves.  

It started at Pixza, training homeless youth to go from shelter to own apartment in 12 months. 

The Whispers did more than just give them something new: they reminded them of the fire they had always carried.

And I understood something that still surprises me today: a CEO at the top and someone sleeping on the street can carry the same internal scars.

Same demons. Different context.

What once saved me and now lifts those who had lost all hope is the same training I use to help you stop surviving and return to yourself before losing everything: Existential Mastery®.

With three clear steps:

→ Radical Self-Discovery: Identify your invisible enemies

→ Radical Healing: Deactivate your inner saboteurs

→ Radical Evolution: Bulletproof yourself until nothing and no one can break you

This isn’t for everyone.

It’s for those who are done pretending they’re fine.

For those who would rather walk through the fire than keep burning slowly.

Yes, it hurts. But it also frees you.

Because life doesn’t get easier…

You get UNF*CKABLE.

And you don’t take that step by reading.

You take it by getting into the ring with me. 

One session. You, me, and your invisible enemies.

Get The Whispers.

Become UNF*CKABLE.

Alex Souza

Te enseñaron a controlar tanto lo que sentías,

que ahora ya ni sabes qué sientes.


Y claro, desde fuera pareces estable.... 

Pero por dentro estás congelado 


Lleno de emociones en silencio a punto de cobrar factura. 


Así que escúchame:

La verdadera madurez no es mantenerte “tranquilo”. 

Es atreverte a sentir.

Eso es lo que realmente significa ser UNF*CKABLE.
