Built with Claude Opus 4.7
A visual history of the opportunities Brazilian developers miss.
Brazilian developers admitted to Cerebral Valley “Built with Claude Opus 4.7”, 2026.
Of the ~500 developers approved for this hackathon, only 2 are Brazilian.
Brazil has world-class engineering talent. The pipeline of grants, fellowships, scholarships, and accelerator cohorts that could compound a career is, for most developers, effectively invisible. Not because it is closed. Because no one indexes it for them.
Radar finds them, weekly, autonomously, and writes a personal plan around them. Three Claude agents read your work, crawl the world, and produce a weekly radar with honest why-you reasoning and a 90-day path.
Let's change the 2-in-500 count., pabloaa, maintainer
No job-board chrome. No “apply now”. Every item is an opportunity with a deadline, a funding figure, and a paragraph that explains, in plain terms, why your trajectory fits this one.
The Why youline is Strategist's output. It reads your profile, the program's thesis, and argues the match.

Reads you
Ingests your GitHub, your CV, a 90-second voice note if you leave one. Builds a profile that is yours, not a template, and updates it the week you ship something new.
Crawls the world, weekly
Indexes grants, fellowships, scholarships, accelerator cohorts, practice arenas, and recurring competitions that no one curates for Brazilian developers. Logs every source, never invents one.
Writes your plan
Reads both. Produces a weekly radar with a fit score, a why-you paragraph, and a 90-day path. Honest when nothing fits this week, honest when one does.
