Pattern Breakers: Why Some Start-ups Change the Future

Portuguese and Spanish language translations for SXSW 2025 Keynotes and Featured Sessions presented by Itaú Mike Maples will explore why some startups stumble into massive success while others, despite doing everything “right,” fall short. This session challenges the traditional business narrative, aiming to inspire the next generation of pattern-breakers to defy today’s rules and create tomorrow’s. Alongside big ideas, Mike will share tactical strategies to help potential founders decide if their startup idea is worth pursuing—and, if it is, how to turn it into a company that drives lasting change.
