We keep saying we had 3 winners. But actually... There were 4 more 🙃✨
Congratulations to Catalina Kawas (Chile, Domestikco ), Patricia Florencia (Mexico, Pilou ), Adriana Gonzalez (Panama, Tizo ) and Mercedes Bidart (Colombia, Quipu ), who came and took every award going🏆
Here’s what happened: we came in with the classic setup: three top prizes and a special Fintech Track Award. But the Demo Day was something else. The pitches were so good that the team simply fell in love with our founders on the spot. And decided to add another prize.
Four Aurora 2026 finalists received up to $10K in inDrive Ads support, in-app advertising placements in markets where inDrive already has serious scale, plus hands-on guidance on messaging and creative direction.
inDrive Ads gives founders something rare in mobile advertising: 30 seconds of full, undistracted attention from 50M monthly users across 25 emerging and growth markets, with targeting built on real mobility data. For founders building in exactly these markets, that’s the kind of scale that actually moves the needle.
This is what backing women founders beyond capital looks like.
