Fluent Ventures bets on startup clones—with a twist :
San Francisco–based Fluent Ventures is out to prove that the best startup ideas aren’t born—they’re adapted. The firm backs founders in emerging markets who localize proven models from the West, a strategy it proudly calls “geographic alpha.”
❓ What they’re doing differently :
• Backing founders in Latin America, Africa, MENA, Southeast Asia, and select U.S. markets
• Investing $250K to $2M in early rounds via a $40M fund + co-investment vehicle
• Focusing on fintech, healthtech, and commerce, but with local product-market fit
• Portfolio includes Sabi (Nigeria), Prima (Brazil), BRKZ (Saudi Arabia), and Minu (Mexico)
🧠 Why this matters now :
• Unicorns are now emerging from 150+ cities globally
• IPOs like Nubank, UiPath, Swiggy show global outcomes are real
• Fluent’s backers include Nubank’s David Vélez, Sea Group’s Nick Nash, and LPs across multiple continents 1 reply

2. Java: Java is widely used for developing large-scale AI applications, particularly those that involve natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and robotics.
3. C++: C++ is a high-performance language that's often used for building AI applications that require speed and efficiency, such as game development, robotics, and computer vision.
4. R: R is a popular language for statistical computing and is widely used in data science and ML applications.
