Applications for the 2026 Bravo Venture Fellowship are open! Founders of Puerto Rican descent in PR, Miami, and NYC – apply now.
Our Program
The Bravo Venture Fellowship is a cornerstone initiative by the Bravo Family Foundation intended to support breakout founders as they scale their businesses beyond Puerto Rico to the mainland U.S. and beyond.
This exclusive, one-year program will unlock the potential of the next generation of local entrepreneurial talent by offering equity investment, operational support, and other benefits.
Meet our fellows
We back a small cohort of breakout founders of Puerto Rican descent with capital, credibility, and hands-on support for one year.
The Bravo Venture Fellowship selects a handful of founders each year who are building ambitious companies in Puerto Rico, Miami, or New York City. Fellows receive a founder-friendly equity investment, tailored mentorship, and direct access to the Bravo network.
Fellows often don’t need capital today, but they recognize the long-term strategic value of having Orlando Bravo and the Bravo Family Foundation on their cap table. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.
